Summary
A Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 crashed at Muan International Airport, South Korea, killing 179 people, with only two crew members surviving. The black boxes stopped recording four minutes before the crash.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the malfunctioning black box. They suspect a bird strike, as feathers were found in one engine, and video footage confirmed a bird impact. However, the exact cause of the crash remains elusive.
Investigators are probing why the landing gear wasn’t deployed, the role of power failure in missing black box data, and the construction of the airfield wall the plane hit.
I wonder if they had an electrical fire under the cockpit while flying.
The loose of systems normally segregated with multiple backup, the strange 2nd approach too fast without using the gears or flap…
Total chaos and panic… or system damaged because of the impact with birds… or a drone? Damaged battery can produce a lot of heat and fire…
