A devastating plane crash occurred at Muan International Airport in South Korea, resulting in the loss of 179 lives. The incident involved a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800, which was carrying 181 passengers and crew members from Bangkok.
Preliminary investigations suggest that a bird strike may have caused the crash, with eyewitnesses reporting that the plane’s landing gear did not deploy, leading to a crash into a nearby wall.
The plane’s black boxes have been recovered, but analysis may take up to a month due to damage. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, with experts pointing to possible pilot error or technical issues as contributing factors.
