South Korean police have taken swift action following Sunday’s tragic plane crash at Muan International Airport, which claimed the lives of 179 out of 181 people on board.
In an effort to uncover the cause of the crash, authorities have banned the chief executive of Jeju Air, the airline involved in the incident, from leaving the country. Additionally, police conducted a raid at both the airport and the airline’s offices in Seoul.
The investigation is now focusing on extracting data from the plane’s black boxes, which will provide crucial information about the moments leading up to the crash.
The crash has left many people devastated and seeking answers. Families of the victims are eagerly waiting for updates and hoping for clarity on what went wrong that fateful day.
As the investigation unfolds, authorities are working tirelessly to uncover the truth and ensure that justice is served for the victims and their loved ones.

Stop the Steal…Stop Election Fraud ! China OUT ! Stop the Steal…Stop Election Fraud ! China OUT !
Sad 😢
Very often Flight Recorders are not recoverable (MH-370), or damaged
All new Airliners should stream-live the Fight Data to the Manufacturer
Plane crash news is so last year …..
국제망신이노
Who ever thought it was a good idea to build a concrete wall at the end of the runway, must be held accountable. Had it been a normal light structure, people on board could have survived.
There is a somthing black in the bottom.😡😡😡😡
Another isolated case by alans snack bar the religion of peace strikes again
I eat crayons 🖍
Location of departure must be taken into account. Safety security from intruder is there or not. I live in Bangkok, thief is mosquitoes.
Here we go… insurance company looking to blame the entire tragedy on the dead pilots. Maybe they could have done something different, but ultimately the incredibly dumb idea of building a steel/ concrete wall at the end of runway is what killed everyone.
Sul Coreanos são movidos a mídia parcial. Os grupos e setores financeiros manipulam a opinião pública altamente volúvel.
É muito fácil manipular a opinião pública nas horas de comoção emocional.
Why only record for 2 hours? Why not 20 hours?
heartbreaking fr 🙁

The root problem is the way they are
Wall
They would arrest the pilots if they weren’t already dead. Should arrest whomever agreed to the design and building of a wall. The wall wasn’t a wall, it was a firm earth mound reenforced by concrete. Bricks would give way.
Im looking blankly at the map of The UK trying to find Muan Airport. Can anyone help?
Do the BBC only report on foreign affairs now?
This is how we should treat Boeing as Americans… SK went Scorpion on 'em. "GET OVER HERE"
The concrete wall was not built in the end of the runway but in the beginning of it however runways are designed to be able to be used both ways
And while there might have been pilot error in this accident
The concrete wall or to be specific the concrete fortress was not supposed to be built anywhere near this runway. The airport must be investigated and whoever’s idea was to build this fortress should be held accountable . If any structure is to be built near a runway it must be designed to crumble upon a plane hitting it.
Can people drop the bird strike nonsense? that was not responsible for this tragedy at all.
So…..nothing new.
“Whether a bird strike or weather conditions were responsible”
It’s already been established the pilot called in a bird strike before his Mayday call. Catch up!
Airplane accidents In most cases are a combination of factors which may include mechanical, weather, and human.
In this particular case as the aircraft was on final approach , # 2 engine suffered compressor stall, perhaps due to one or more bird strikes. The 737 is designed to fly on one engine, not affecting the hydraulic systems which operate the landing gear, flaps, spoilers and other control components. Even with both engines out they can turn on the APU to provide hydraulics and electrical power.
Proper procedure for pilots facing this scenario is to go around and do race track patterns, go through the checklists, and fully reconfigure the aircraft prior to attempt another landing. This is practiced in simulator during both initial and recurrent training. IMO the crew panicked and rushed a high speed gear up no flaps uncontrolled landing which likely could have been avoided, by following proper checklist and operational procedures. Both CVR and FDR will tell, but I'm almost sure lack of proper cockpit management played a huge role. R.I.P. all.
About time we seeing an investigation into that kill wall that should not been there if not for that wall most if not all would be alive now. I think airlines need to carry out own risk assessments of all airports they fly into and not just go on airport say so. Should check if an airport is upto standards and check run off and what risks are there if plane has a problem.
"How carefully do black boxes have to be handled?" Why is she paid so much when she asks such absurd questions?
😢😢😢
It’s the airport stupid.
I have some important insider info to share. But Google keeps censoring and deleting my comments. Can you help me fight against the censorship BBC?
Imagine the initial “relieve” the passengers onboard might have felt when the plane was on level ground ONLY for it to explode momentarily from an impact with the reinforced CONCRETE wall they didn’t know the aircraft was heading towards…
It was an unfortunate chain of events that lead to this tragedy. HOWEVER, the reinforced CONCRETE WALL was the the DEFINING reason why these passengers are dead! Somebody High up there in the management hierarchy was probably trying to scrimp on money instead of evaluting the overall safety of crucial Airport infrastructures.
Using prosecution in a air accident, specially in politic purposes, this is exactly what to do to decrease air safety.
South Korea will still leader in catastrophic enemy
Well nothing will come out the truth . South east Asia should have one like Washington.
Look MH 370 no clue so far never been recovered black box
Currently useless .
how does it take to download data from blackbox and read the files…. it's been almost a week….
Pilot didn't put landing gear down. What has Bird strike or weather have to do with the crews bollocks emergency landing?? Crock of shit
I would expect that the Jeju corporation and its executives would be part of this investigation.
There very well may be a problem with corporate culture, where pilots were expected to do everything possible (no matter how risky) to "save" an expensive airplane rather than do everything possible to save lives. Also, there may be problems with pilot selection, certification and training that needs to be looked into. Personally, I think it is highly unlikely that there is a corporate level problem, but it must be part of any investigation.
It is my opinion that there were very many mistakes made immediately after the bird-strike and long before the plane hit the berm; the recorders should answer some very vexing questions. I might add this: it is, by no means, entirely the fault that there was a concrete berm located long past the end of the runway in a place that is the normally the opposite end of that runway. It is my opinion (based on the little that is known) that a properly done emergency landing should have had the plane stopped long before it hit the berm, or, better yet, the landing should have been done on the nearby water. Of course, my opinion is subject to falsification and again, the recorders' data will shed light on this.
Weather conditions? The weather was perfect.
