The recent tragic plane crash involving a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 in South Korea has left many questioning what caused the deadly incident. Initial reports from airline pilots suggest that the jet may have lost power on at least one engine and experienced a hydraulic failure after a reported bird strike.
Analysis of the crash indicates that the pilots were forced to make a quick landing with the undercarriage and wing flaps retracted. Images and data leading up to the crash raise concerns about the airliner’s configuration as it attempted to touch down on runway 19 at Muan airport, ultimately colliding with the instrument landing system antennae.
The Boeing 737-800 was reportedly making a normal approach with flaps extended, but its automatic data transmissions ceased at around 900 feet above the ground, just 1.5 miles from the airport. This sudden loss of communication adds further mystery to the circumstances surrounding the crash.
As investigations continue into the cause of the crash, authorities and aviation experts will be closely examining the events leading up to the tragic incident. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
