South Korea plane crash death toll rises to at least 47

[@-joe-davidson]

Landing gear is about the strongest part of an aircraft.... Hard to believe that a bird strike on the landing gear would have any effect on them. The landing impact is much, much greater than a bird strike.

[@alanmlkbanda]

Yeah that seemed crazy to hear that a bird would damage the breaks.

Really? A bird strike? That shouldn’t cause a plane like this to crash. There’s definitely a bigger issue here

[@Tim.0011]

What landing gear

[@HeywoodChablome]

it was definitely a bird strike, clearly shown in video. likely other issues as well, but appears to have started with the bird strike. The "expert" clown in this piece is a complete Buffon, IMO.

There's no way bird strike would have caused landing gear to malfunction!!

Probably the landing gear was full of illegals in there.

[@megadavis5377]

This is beyond wrong. It's ludicrus. What braking? There wasn't even any GEAR!! How could there possibly be any braking!!?? Okay, bring on the next expert.

Agreed 100%, this is another LAMESTREAM fake news media!!!!!

[@Anotot_]

I agree with you, most likely the gear malfunctioned.

[@StephenMaher-w7q]

LOOK at the footage geoff. Plane had gear problems. the plane landed on its belly. LOOK

[@macmedic892]

Has this expert even seen the crash video? He’s talking about a flat tire or damage to the gear-but the gear is up! It also looks like the pilot touched down very far down the runway and flared it like a normal landing instead of dropping the nose and increasing the surface area in contact with the runway thus reducing the speed more quickly.

[@HeywoodChablome]

this "expert" is a total and complete buffoon, OMO. I would let him analyze a hot wheels crash on an orange track.

[@cyn1979]

This was also a second attempt to land. It had gone around once already.

[@tolikfox007]

Yeah this "expert" is an idiot

[@PeterNebelung]

Not to mention, it didn't veer anywhere. It slid the length of the runway, off the end and into a berm. Straight line, no veering at all.

[@JustinSyd]

Why did South Korea not have better crash landing emergency services and why are there no fire trucks and ambulances along the runway towards the end of it and fire hydrants.?!? Why don't the planes have on board large parachutes that can be deployed at the back of the aircraft to help it slow down more in crash landings?!? Why is there no mesh over the engines to help stop bird strike.?!?

[@veebee3837]

OMG, exactly. So many great questions. A bird strike causing landing gear to malfunction is just not good enough. We need more answers!!

[@Lord-hoboco777]

From other news video's the landing gear wasn't even down

[@ronin_myaus]

Other videos showed the undercarriage total collapse, the plane was gliding on its belly abt 200m before hitting the wall.. However not shown if the landing gear collapsed on landing or thereafter.....dont think it was any bird strike bcoz cant even see the front nose wheel at all

[@alanmlkbanda]

I was gonna comment that, in the video the plane is skidding on its belly as if the LG didn’t even deploy.

[@mlzovozlm]

eh, i mean it's a Boeing we talking about , 737-800 not MAX but Boeing nonetheless. I could see it

[@SafepathUS]

Report from other Asian companies have the pilot's reporting that the landing gear was not working and they went around again for a second attempt, but the wheels still weren't working. A belly landing was attempted, ran off runway to a fence / wall, and this is yet another 737 with parts malfunctioning in a recent series of safety dangers.

[@maxheadroom9014]

Aviation expert…really? No bird strike on the strongest part of any aircraft. This was the pilot’s second landing attempt due to undercarriage issues. They did have thrust reverse engaged. They probably wanted a safe belly landing but overshot the runway not knowing that some clown decided it was a good idea to put a perimeter wall out there.

[@BabbaIsKool]

update: 179 people has been confirmed dead

[@lead4you]

This was a gear up landing i seen video of it.. terrible accident should not have happen the pilots came in way to fast or decided to do a go around but.. once ur touching down without the gear its game over....

[@Mr4pete]

I've never heard of a bird strike damaging the landing gear of any aircraft. I think after seeing that the landing gear was still up on this aircraft in the air and on the ground that the pilots didn't lower the landing gear at all, I would further say that the landing took the pilots by surprise and that they (the Pilots) simply missmanaged the whole landing procedure. I'm truly sad for the victims of this accident.

[@tropicalcitruscandle713]

I just got off a plane this morning and now I'm seeing this...

[@piniasmunyongani6385]

This guy is not an aviation expert at all. Its clear that it was a belly landing. He talks about thrust reversers. Thrust reversers will not activate without weight on wheels.

[@andresmith9212]

that is not true, thrust reversers will begin to cycle open at 30ft radio altitude.

[@Eric-jo8uh]

Horrendous for all concerned. My sympathies and condolences to those left behind.

[@johns2394]

The wall is usually to divert jet wash and to protect vehicles on roads that may pass behind said airport runway. It's common at many airports that have roads passing behind the runways to have these concrete barriers, in fact Sydney airport has one. Seems to me he came in too fast and high looked like he was attempting to do a go around possibly after bird strike and landing gear was raised for this , but had reverse thrusters on so no way he was going to get enough airspeed to get back off the ground. Just my observations

[@WorlTramp]

Interesting

[@MiC-T]

Georffrey Thomas looks dyspeptic.

[@kevinolesik1500]

so they hit birds and did a go-around and attempted landing on the other runway in the reverse direction and clipped the localizer antennas with the landing gear at the end of that runway ... didn't end well ...

[@playasurf1000]

The landing gear wasn't even down

[@BenDecko2023]

My guess is he has not seen the video, the gear was not down so was not damaged by a bird. This guy is absolute joke, clearly not an aviation expert and they should take this video down.

[@alanmlkbanda]

Indeed. Shameful

[@Napkinatorz]

Rest in peace 🙏🏽

[@adri2shadow]

yeah why is a wall at the end of the runaway?

[@David-d4k9k]

The final approach for this type of aircraft is around 138 knots. The cause being a bird strike on all three undercarriages is dubious. Is the commentator a pilot or just an ‘expert’. I think he just writes about the aviation industry an$ is out of his depth here.

[@HeywoodChablome]

he is a paid "expert" and knows very little. there was definitely a bird strike, it entered the right engine.

[@thomasmorin749]

The landing gear can be lowered manually.

[@Britcarjunkie]

Another channel posted a video of the crash, and the landing gear was up, and the plane looked like it was going down the runway at takeoff speed (!), though it appeared that the thrust reversers were open.

[@ngazim1]

Blame it on Putin

[@idunnoanymore2870]

U know there were zero landing gears deployed! It clearly shows that!

[@SueNicholls-95]

I just watched a video of the whole landing, there was no landing gear down. I don't know why this bloke didn't see that.

Looks like the guy landed long on a runway with a brick wall at the end. Kinda stoopid.

Please get the name of the airport right in your description. Maun airport is in Botswana, about 12 000+ km away from Muan in South Korea. Simple spelling error but could lead to great confusion.

[@AnnSmith-u9c]

Your expert seems to not be up to date with some footage showing the landing gear not deployed. Video shows the aircraft skidding on its belly , reasonably under control, until a fireball. How about this scenario… bird strike cuts the engines, hence no reverse thrust and not being able to slow down , also damage to the hydraulic/ systems affecting the landing gear , possibly on approach so the pilot tries to glide in and couldn’t control the landing? Or Putin/ trump/ Ukraine / hammas / Syria/ fbi/ cia / mi6 / drug cartels / Boeing and any type of conspiracy theory going
