[Weekly Focus] S. Korea's deadliest air crash: Recovery, investigation continues along with...

[@johnnyrocket80085]

Hope we get the black box information soon so we know what went wrong.

Many important questions: why no landing gear? Why no flaps, spoilers, etc. to slow plane? Why did they touch down so late? What kind of idiots would approve, build a tall concrete structure at the end of the runway?

[@makedredd299]

Also were the pilots and flight crew overworked by Jeju Airs?

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

The "wall" is my main concern as that is what killed everyone in this terrible emergency gear up landing.

[@stratocasterblue]

Remember them saying they lost all contact and transponder when they struck the birds that means both engine generators stopped and the backup battery was out of service it had to have failed also for the transponder to stop transmitting and they lost all hydraulics from both system a and b because both engines stalled you can see more than ten white birds on both sides of the plane and the witness who filmed it heard 2 or 3 loud bangs that is both engines stalling. No hydraulics from a because no left engine and no pressure from system b because a cut line near the pump when birds bent or broke a blade and a piece hitting the line cutting it at the pump before any fuses and it explains why you can see a dark plume of liquid right next to the white cloud. So no hydraulics no flaps no air brakes and no power they were busy and you can see a lot of damage on the right engine in the approach video. They were able to restart the right engine because you can see a heat plume behind that engine about 10 feet before the landing but no heat behind the left engine and they still landed perfectly using the backup flight control cable system for the three control surfaces Elevator, Rudder and ailerons awesome pilots so they opted for a wheels up landing knowing they would stop a lot faster than rolling on wheels with no hydraulic brakes and might have even thought that dirt berm would help slow them down safely how could they know it was loaded with 2 foot thick concrete foundation. I think they are going to find a broken blade, A cut hydraulic line on the right engine and a battery with no voltage. All my best to the families and everyone involved.

@@stratocasterblue Well said! I agree with all you said.

[@geraldo209]

The late touch down is due to the airplane flying on ground effect.

[@stratocasterblue]

What a frozen rehearsed stoic broadcast

[@MichaelNgTzeWei]

Pretty sure once investigators study the cockpit voice recorder, the reason for the crash will become clear.

[@DougGrinbergs]

Why did ADSB fail at such a key time?

[@HWForest]

Imagine paying the economy ticket only to be upgraded to "meet your maker" package instantly

[@leelajapheth4051]

Concrete wall for what?

[@wheelmanstan]

where's the statements from the survivors?

[@mautre]

They are both still in the hospital as far as I know, and what they've released so far, it seems they do not remember anything of note, at least not yet... It's possible they may not ever remember everything.

[@KenshinHimura23]

Why can't commercial planes have deployable landing parachutes like those on a fighter plane so that they can help reduce speed significantly in emergency landing situations. I'd sacrifice some cargo capacity in exchange for enhanced safety.

[@Letthemusicplay78]

This already know guys tell us something new

[@vykis92]

Why dont you do some investigation yourself?

[@mautre]

Yeah, because aviation disasters of this scale, are so well known to have information immediately available after a crash... 🙄🙄🙄

[@kaspermikulski9591]

People still don't get.. concrete wall is in correct place ! they choiced opposite side to land ...

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

YOU still don't get it, runways are designed to be used from either direction and are marked as such. There iS no wrong way.

[@stratocasterblue]

Regulations in Korea are bad any should see that is a bad mistake to do that
