Experts Question Bird Strike as Cause of Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 Crash, Killing 179
Dec 29, 2024, 02:47 PM
Experts are questioning the initial theory that a bird strike caused the deadly crash of Jeju Air flight 7C2216 in South Korea, which resulted in the deaths of 179 people. The plane, carrying 175 passengers and 6 crew members, was landing at Muan International Airport when it skidded off the runway and crashed into a concrete wall. Video footage shows the aircraft sliding without deploying its landing gear. The incident has raised several questions about the absence of the landing gear, the speed of the plane, and the presence of a wall at the end of the runway. South Korean authorities are investigating the crash, with a bird strike being one of the considered causes, though experts suggest it is unlikely that a bird strike alone could have led to the failure of the landing gear.
