Reviewing Airport Infrastructure and Safety Regulations

South Korean officials will reevaluate existing airport structures, particularly the concrete barriers involved in the crash. A comprehensive safety reassessment is underway to avoid similar tragedies in the future.

The recent catastrophic plane crash in South Korea has sent shockwaves throughout the country, taking the lives of 179 individuals during a routine flight. As rescue efforts conclude, investigators have recovered the aircraft's two black boxes, which are pivotal in piecing together the timeline and circumstances of the incident. Reports indicate that the accident occurred a mere four minutes before landing, starting with a bird strike that led the pilot to issue a Mayday call. This unfortunate event has raised urgent questions about aviation safety and the presence of structural barriers at airports. In the wake of the tragic crash, South Korean authorities are under pressure to investigate the role of the concrete barrier that the aircraft collided with upon landing. Experts suggest that the presence of such a barrier may have exacerbated the loss of life, highlighting a potential flaw in airport design and emergency preparedness. As investigators from South Korea work alongside a team led by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), a comprehensive review of safety regulations and infrastructure will be essential to prevent future disasters. As the investigation unfolds, numerous questions linger regarding the implications of existing safety measures at airports across the nation. Officials have indicated that similar barriers exist at various airports, necessitating a thorough review of their impact on flight safety. The South Korean government plans to reassess insulation regulations to ensure that adequate safety protocols are implemented for future operations. With the runway closed until January 7th, 2024, aviation experts and investigators are working diligently to gather insights that could drastically alter safety standards across the aviation industry.

His voice could have been more sympathetic. It’s like it’s just a news item for him.

Why are you asking your co-worker this information from her house she hasnt been to the scene or interviewed anyone shes repeating regurgitating or somebody else said on another news show.😮😢😢 shameful news reporting just a social soap opera😅😅😂😂

@stratocasterblue

When a hydraulic line is cut the engine pump and all of the pumps wont do anything or the ptu and the rushed landing was because they knew a fire would ignite filling the cockpit with toxic smoke that would impair their sight and lungs and with no flaps they needed to bleed off speed. If you look close at the video where the white smoke is, When the plane struck the birds you can see on the left of the white puff a darker plume and hydraulic fluid is dark red or purple, When the plane hit the birds I think they bent or broke a blade causing a piece to fly around inside and cut a hydraulic line and all hydraulic pressure was bled off, That explains the dark plume of liquid. With an open circuit none of the pumps will work or the ptu they just dump fluid on the engine and no pressure for anything in system b. you can see in approach video the plane approaching while at 100 feet high you can see damage on the left cowling, That is not T/R and they will not deploy over 10 feet high but this is at 100 feet that is damage. That is also why no flaps, No air brakes but the 737 can still control rudder, Elevators and ailerons with system a hydraulic circuit and so they were able to land with full control but without system b no flaps and their stall speed would be much higher explaining the high speed landing and it explains why they would choose a belly landing knowing they would stop faster skidding on the fuselage tail and engines rather than not having primary hydraulic brakes on rolling wheels so they opted not to deploy gear and made a tight 180 turn then rolled slightly left right to bleed off speed and might have even thought that dirt embankment for holding up fiberglass antennas would help safely slow them how would they know it was loaded with 2 foot thick concrete. I think they are going to find a broken blade and a cut hydraulic line on the left engine All my best to the familes and everyone involved

Bird strike😂😂😂, nah man.

@reecom9884

The jet was on final to land, when it suddenly declared a “May Day” and tried to do a go-round. After starting a mis-approach, the jet never gained enough altitude to re-enter the landing pattern. Unexpectedly, instead of doing a mis-approach and trying to land with the wind on the active runway, the jet did a 180° turn and landed wheels up without flaps, slats and with a tail wind and touched down too far down the runway to have skidded to a stop.
