At least 151 people killed as plane crashes while landing at South Korea airport

[@archivalhorror]

Why is there a barrier wall at the end of the runway?! Runways should lead off into flat land for a significant distance.

[@anthonymathews3872]

Why are there not safety nets like the Aircraft Carriers have, or escape sand-filled escape lanes like the HGV's have?

[@billrosmus6734]

When I saw the actual video this was my exact question. The pilot did a great job landing it without landing gear. Then there is some almighty barrier that killed them. Inferior thinking that went into this. The airport designers should be held liable as much as anyone. And if the excuse (not reason) is that there are homes or something else at the end of the runway, well it's no excuse. Poor site location; and if they people with the money were the reason, they should also be held liable. This didn't need to happen.

[@TaeyangParkLuxury-il2mj]

Check google maps theres an ocean behind the barrier

[@kbboy101]

It is very unprofessional to have a 'fire chief' telling the world why the air crash happened just hours after the accident. And absurd to suggest that bird strikes could have taken down the hydraulics which have built-in redundancies or to label a beautiful clear sky as 'bad weather'. I suppose he did not want to be outdone by birds causing shrapnel damage earlier in the week.

[@MoneytricksSA]

What kind of birds that can affect a gear landing???

[@Gmancro929]

Special ops birds

[@chrismurray4439]

Birds can cause hydraulic malfunctions from the birds hitting the engines causing your wheels not go down. Domino effect

[@ivermektin6874]

ask Boeing, their planes are failing constantly, two incidents this week. KLM, now Korea.

[@djtfp]

birds are being blamed for everything !!!!!

[@jamesadams893]

Well it was a Russian drone disguised as a bird that caused this whole mess after all so yea they should be blamed

[@Mmshroom]

They’re also drones

[@FrederickEssuman-y2c]

The speed on the runway was too fast and unusual. This is very sad

[@Billy_Bunter]

The Localiser antenna was mounted on a solid concrete wall which is unheard of. The plane had no chance after hitting that. This should not have happened.

[@janinsweden8559]

Very odd accident. No flaps deployed. 2800 m Runway but landed at the end of it... Maybe trouble with BOTH engines, otherwise they would keep on flying to burn off fuel. Never make belly landing with full fuel tanks.

[@Bungle-UK]

Reverse thrust was deployed so at least one engine was working.

[@GabroPlayz]

I'm not too sure if a bird strike can get the whole landing gear system to malfunction. I think it likely was a hydraulic failure somewhere in the B737 that helped the landing gear extend. RIP to all who've died in this tragedy.

[@Kam-go3bc]

Or pilots got flustered and made some bad decisions after the birdstrike. It doesn't seem like they told ATC their landing gear had malfunctioned?

[@Bungle-UK]

Bird strike is the usual media lie….they said that about the Azerbaijan crash too.

[@jungleboy1]

normally crashes are a series of events. I doubt it was just 1 issue, the bird strike may have been part of other factors.

[@a_balloon]

Boeing at it again 🙄

[@jhowardsupporter]

By malfunction they mean didn't function. So yes a bird could cause that. If while landing the pilot was distracted by the bird and forgot to extend the landing gear this would happen.

[@FinalLightNL]

My heart goes out to all my Korean brothers & sisters ❤ 🌹 Our condolences from Turkey 🇹🇷

[@billsimpson604]

Some genius built a thick reinforced concrete wall in line with the runway to hold antennas!!! Hitting that wall is what tore the jet to pieces, killing nearly everyone. Pilot error forgot to lower the landing gear, which can be done by hand if needed, in a 737.

[@davidhall7648]

There should be no concrete walls at the end of runways 😮😮😮

[@GabroPlayz]

At most airports around the world, there are usually fields at the end of the runway. I don't see why South Korea have added a literal wall at the end of that runway..

[@capndallas4918]

There are concrete walls at the end of runways obvs. Sometimes the YT comments will be false.

[@luca4097]

⁠@@capndallas4918 No, this is unusual to have a reinforced concrete wall right at the end of the runway. Usually these walls are bricked concrete, which a plane would plow through… with minimal damage

[@williamkung9863]

if the plane could not open the landing gear, then why not fly around first/making decisions with the tower before gambling on the landing? the communication with the tower should have taken place and if the official telling the public its bird strike/bad weather, it's totally a political agenda we are facing here. its either 100% malfunction, or its intended to crash like that

[@helensnowden5517]

Agree. I was in a similar incident travelling back from Barbados into the UK. Our landing gear failed but the captain flew round 3 times before it was deployed....thankfully ALL of us safe although very shaken by it. I feel for their families and loved ones.😔

[@MoneytricksSA]

my point exactly,there was no reason at all to land

[@brizzled5193]

the landing gear can still deploy without power or hydraulics through a manual switch and gravity

[@Mr_Ali_G]

2 crash planes in a week... that is so scary 😨

[@michaelmckelvey5122]

They often say that accidents'come in threes.'

[@Rob-eg8qc]

Over 150,000 flights per day worldwide. Airplanes are by far the most safest way of transport.

[@taxineil1]

the cause of it blowing up is the strength of the wall at the end of the runway that supports radar being made of unnecessarily thick concrete.

[@Fredoffcourse]

Birds or no birds…Not the main Q. Why put a solid concrete wall at the end of the runway when there is a field behind?

[@Rob-eg8qc]

Concrete barrier at the end, now that is so tragic, should like most runways have runoff grasslands. Still with over 150,000 flights per day worldwide is the most safest form of transport.

[@kingopp1640]

Why was the plane still picking up speed after landing

[@anthonymathews3872]

Are the Korean's Officials and BBC blind. The front and rear undercarriage was not down. If the pilot did not report it before landing then he forgot.

[@KuljeetSaini-w1f]

Condolences from the heart from India to the families who have lost their beloved

A bird strike ? This has been the 3rd time now ? I swear if a plane in Spain goes down and yee say bird strike then I know it’s bollox

[@equalitypeace1695]

Who puts a concrete wall at the end of a runway. Beggers belief .

[@AnonyVoiceGla]

Boeing?

[@jonathanlandau-litewski7405]

Yes. A 15 year old model though.

[@jonsmith5058]

If the landing gear wont deploy is it ever a good idea to skid down a runway with a barrier at the end? Couldn’t they have tried a water landing somewhere to have more room to slow down?

[@Gmancro929]

Absolutely no need for water landing.. Just needed to follow the check list for type of malfunction and not be in a rush.. Its very long runway.. 99 out of 100 pilots would land this perfectly fine but unfortunately if it can happen there is always a chance to happen so it happened and water landing wouldn't help if pilot is unable to follow checklist he wouldn't be able to land on water aswell..

[@TheFreshAirChannel]

R.I.P. Alot of accidents with this plane. The fire man says " Bird strike or weather conditions " those are 2 different things

[@jeffreyross71]

How the hell did 2 people survive that

[@IsabelleSt.Pierre-q2n]

Collision with birds does not lead to landing gear malfunction.

[@streamer_services]

God be with the workers for what they are witnessed and peace be on the families.......rip

[@ongtayjoojames-ow1bs]

As far as what I saw, the plane's landing gears wheels wasn't activated, during the landing...!!!😳😨🙄😬🫤☝️❗❗❗ Just what is there got to do with any birds, stuck in the turbine engines...???!!!😬🤨🤔☝️❗❗❗ And bad weather.?! To me, the sky was reasonability clear...!!!🙄😬🤔☝️❗❗❗

[@anubis3511]

I understand that the flaps are not only hydraulically but also electrically operated, just like the landing gear. By the way, there was a longer track nearby, if I remember correctly.

[@KuyaMakaTV]

on landing phase at that speed?

[@Youraveragetwicefanboy]

No flaps and a gear failure I’m no master aviation expert but that’s most likely a hydraulic failure Also looking at the speed there may have been something wrong with the engines but like I said I’m not very experienced in aviation so idk 🤷‍♂️

[@Mmshroom]

This is horrible

[@borismedved835]

Was it a huge bird? Did it hit the cockpit window and kill the pilots? Did a passenger take over and try to safely land it? Why was the landing gear not deployed? Why were the engines running full power? Why were control surfaces not in landing configuration? Why didn't it land near the other end of the runway? How many more questions are there... Example: What makes clueless people declare with assumed authority that a bird could not possibly cause this?

[@BluWhaleGaming]

[@TurquoiseLemonade]

The Airport in South Korea, Muan Airport, heavily supported by Democratic Party politicians in South Korea for political reasons. They said it was projected to serve 9.8 million passengers per year during its planning stages, but the actual annual passenger count has only reached 260,000, approximately 2.5% of the original estimate. The airport is located in an area densely surrounded by migratory bird habitats, which has made it particularly vulnerable to bird strikes, ranking #1 in such incidents nationwide. Despite its significant deficits and safety concerns, the airport was constructed to appeal to local voters. This might be an important background for this plane crash, as its condition and preparation are quite different from the major airports like Incheon and Kimpo. Extremely sad news.

[@craig7350]

There was some incident, the pilot panicked and forgot to lower the gear. Looks like.

[@Dhagobacayr74]

Says the keyboard expert 😂

[@GabroPlayz]

Not true

[@michaelmckelvey5122]

Yes, there was a case some years ago where a plane was coming in to land and the crew had fogotten to lower the wheels and it was spotted from the control tower and the crew were warned in time.

When was Russia mentioned in this video 😭🙏

[@jamesadams893]

​@Youraveragetwicefanboyshe forgot to mention that a Russian drone disguised as a bird was ingested by number 2 engine causing the hydraulic system to fail which in turn locked the undercarriage in the upright position and jammed both engines to full power which then caused the pilots to decide to land and skid the plane into the wall at the end of the runway to help them stop the forward progress of the plane.
