[@uhohDavinci]

A concrete wall that close to the end of a runway is absolutely insane.. I'm a pilot and I've never seen anything like that. Also a simple birdstrike/gear issue doesnt account for comming in with no flaps, so spoilers, touching down so late, and not diverting to the longest runway within remaining fuel distance. A landing gear failure would be a terrifying but completely survivable incident.

[@BREEZYM6015]

What types of planes do you pilot?

[@justanoman6497]

It might not be a wall-wall, but an over-engineered localizer mount that is functionally a wall.

[@raywhitehead730]

The "wall" is actually a concrete mounting for an antenna array. It looks just like an ILS approach antenna. Retired Aviator. Note: this plane over skidded past the runway and across a grassy area before hitting it. I assume he landed long and fast.

[@williamm6446]

The localizer was supported by a meter high, reinforced concrete support. As you know most supports are flush. It was the meter high concrete supports for the localizer that did them in. So sad. Lots of errors here. No flaps, and gear, but thrust reverser on right engine. The hydraulics were working. Why not dump fuel?" Why ot divert to Busan or Seoul with 3750 meter runways.

A belly landing should not result in departing the runway at a high rate of speed and slamming into a berm. Something else must have been wrong or those pilots were terrible.

How could they misjudge so badly the distance they would need to come to a stop?

[@jlvandat69]

Initially, it appears multiple serious errors by the crew were made......something isn't adding up. They were able to perform a go-around on one engine, so they were in control, at least to some degree, but didn't perform most functions required for landing, and landed half-way down the runway. We are missing something important. Maybe something very odd....e.g., the bird strike also hit the windshield, causing some degree of incapacitation of crew....something very strange happened.

737s can't dump fuel. Only burn it off. And there was something like 2 minutes between the mayday call and the landing. Shit went south real quick.

A belly landing will result in departing the runway at a high rate of speed and slamming into a berm if the plane touches down to far down the runway as evidenced in the video.

Now I`m wondering if maybe one of the engines was still producing thrust. Maybe they thought it was in reverse but it couldn't open because it was on the ground. Starboard engine appears to be in reverse but I can't tell if the port engine is.

How would a local firefighter know why a plane crashed?

[@threestars2164]

What a shocking tragedy to end the year with! RIP

[@LuxurySpaceInteriors]

They died in a wall crash, not a plane crash.

[@TheDailySpark360]

First of all let the souls of those 179 passengers rest in peace🙏. As to the case, belly landings are part of standard landing procedures when landing gear failure happens and there are associated things that are done in order to mitigate the damage like covering the runway with foam to reduce friction but in this case it seems like the pilots have lost control of the aircraft.

Damn.... Korea just have to mess up to the end of the year... Rest in peace 🙏

I am so sorry to hear this. Condolences to their families

[@NatureThingsLife]

I don’t understand why can they make the runway longer? Everybody would’ve been saved

[@spidy.b]

It's longer but that speed can cover any distance is seconds

This is what happens when these flight companies make cuts to increase their profits. Guarantee this plan could have had better maintenance. In the U.S they replace broken pieces with older “not as broken” pieces because it’s cheaper than buying a whole new piece. Then a plane crashes and they blame it on the birds. Give me a break 🙄😒

[@RedWestern793]

Blaming it on birds is ridiculous simply because modern passenger planes like the 737 are supposed to be able to withstand bird strikes

[@genesisshollins9326]

My prayers and heart is with the families who lost loved ones and the country of South Korea❤️

[@R1520n]

This was not due to a bird strike.

[@Philipgreazy]

Why was the wall there???? They could have sent to arunway with an endless field!!! The Air Traffic Controller Should be brought up on criminal charges

[@stiop52]

We need to really look into Boeing and the FAA. Airline safety likely means paying better wages for maintenance crews, lowering pilot hours, bringing factories back to Seattle, and putting engineers vs investors back in charge.

[@UT48D]

It has nothing to do with Boeing and FAA , Korean government set regulations and that Korean Airlines control wages, maintenance, pilot hours, oh that 737-800 was manufactured in Seattle 15 years ago!

[@stra2g]

Sure but also plane incidents are actually at an all-time low. So the safety has clearly been getting better regardless of Boeing controversy.

[@18_rabbit]

@@stra2g all time low mostly bcuz of all the lessons and design and training changes after all prior incidents and mishaps since 60 years ago

[@Gnomwearman]

Don't they dump fuel if they know they're going to land in such a way?

[@CatskillProduction]

737 doesn’t have a fuel dump. They would have to go into a holding pattern and burn the fuel off and it looks like hydraulics were having an issue so that may not of been an option.

[@simonlow7423]

Only 1 min to land with both engines on fire... u want to dump fuel or nosedive straight into sea?

[@Gnomwearman]

@@CatskillProduction I think we need to stop buying flights if this is what the airlines are going to subject is yo.

don't forget that boieng had so many issues that even their employees wouldn't fly using their planes
