@@om.gembul First, they need something to deflect the jetwash from planes taking off (runways can be used in either direction). Otherwise, nearby roads and buildings can be hit with winds strong enough to flip a car over. In airports near cities, It's also done to protect the infrastructure. In other similar runway overrun incidents, planes have gone off the airport killing not only the people on the plane, but also people in cars and buildings that the plane strikes. I dunno what lies beyond the wall at this airport though.

[@vaccinatedanti-vaxxer]

I think most airports have some wall to keep the public out. The chances of a plane hitting the wall seem very unlikely like 1 in 1million. Plus what if the airport is in an urban area?

My heart breaks to hear of another plane crash so soon after the one recently shot down. If an engine is out and they were already struggling to get the landing gears down, there is not much more the pilot can do. We need to wait for the recovery of the black boxes and investigation to be concluded to really know what went wrong. Could take a month. Either way, I'm so sorry for the families and survivors.

Come on, why does the media IMMEDIATELY blame a bird strike for every plane crash? First a damn surface to air missile, and now this? A bird strike will NEVER have anything to do with a plane landing gear-up. Ever.

[@pineapplesareyummy6352]

Why are people even blaming the wall at the end of a runway more than 3 km long, when (i) the landing gears didn't drop, (ii) the flaps were not working? This doesn't sound like the result of a bird strike to me, even if there really was one. There has to be a lot more that will hopefully be revealed at the end of the investigation.

[@naranja1972]

Ya we need to see the passenger list to see if there were any potential “targets” given korea’s recent political situation

[@goldensperm7182]

because they were saying that there shouldn't be a wall there when things like this are likely to happen. I thought that made sense since scenarios like this can really occur from time to time so having a wall in its path is kinda questionable. It should've been at least something that could mitigate this kind of scenario at least

I did a personal research about plane crashes that went back till the late 80s. I found that technical issues was mostly Boeing while illfated was Airbus. Highjacking, birds, hit by missiles, mad pilot, was mostly Airbus. I did this like 5 years ago, before the whistleblowers thing. I knew since then that Boeing was a bad plane and that if traveling with Airbus i will have to pray to not have bad luck.

How horrible

[@yhyau235]

Obviously standard operating protocols and pilot checklists have obliterated the ability for pilots to think and make logical decisions- 1) fuel should have been dumped knowing that it's going to be a belly landing 2) why weren't the airbrakes used to assist in slowing the plane 3) the reverse thrust doesn't seem to be switched on on the engines as the plane seems to be powering forward with the front still lifted up.

[@jonh879]

Quite the contrary. SOPs and checklists are there to assist logical decision making in emergencies. Also 1) the 737 doesn't have a fuel dump system. 2) plane had slowed considerably during descent, and 3) reverse thrust is not going to work when engine nacelles are in contact with the ground
