Jeju Airlines flight 7C2216 crashes at Muan Airport in South Korea.
Jeju Air plane crashed at Muan Airport in South Korea on the morning of 29 December. 179 people died in this accident. Only 2 crew members on board the plane could survive. Both of them were rescued from the emergency exit at the rear of the plane.
This accident is one of the deadliest plane crashes in recent times. According to the United Nations, this accident is the biggest accident since 2018, when Lion Air Flight 610 crashed in Indonesia. All 189 people on board were killed.
Even after 4 days of Jeju air crash, it is not known how the plane crashed. Experts say that the collision of the bird with the engine cannot be the reason for the accident. He believes that a bird hitting one engine does not cause complete failure of all the systems, the plane can be flown even on one engine.
In such a situation, the team involved in the investigation is trying to find out what happened…
The plane could not land because the landing gear did not open. First of all, the pilot sent a mayday alert to the air traffic controller of Muan Airport at 8:59 am. Pilots use the word mayday in case of emergency. The pilot reported that a bird had hit the plane. After this the pilot was instructed to change course and land in the opposite direction.
The plane tried twice to land at the airport. The plane could not land the first time because the landing gear did not open. After this the pilot asked for one more round in the air. However, it is not yet known what was the reason for the landing gear not opening.
The plane accelerated southwards onto the runway without turning completely in the air.
The plane missed a normal landing and skidded off the runway. After this smoke started coming out from the plane.
The aircraft slows down during belly landing. When the plane landed on the runway, its landing gear was not visible. Landing gear helps the aircraft to stay on the ground. Along with this, the wing flap of the plane was also not active. Activating the wing flaps slows down the plane, but the plane continues to move too fast on the runway, and the pilot fails to control the plane.
The plane crashed into a concrete wall. Experts also say that if this wall had not been there on the runway, the accident would not have been so bad.
By the time the fire was brought under control, the entire body of the plane was burnt. By then more than 100 people had died.
Boeing 737-800 plane flies the most in the world The plane that was the victim of the accident was a Boeing 737-800 jet. This passenger aircraft is the most used in the world. The plane took off from Bangkok with six crew members and 175 passengers on board. Most of them were South Koreans returning from Christmas holidays in Thailand.
“The accident is being investigated based on ‘bird strike’ and weather factors,” said Lee Jung-hyun, Muan’s chief fire officer. Airport officials believe that the landing gear may have malfunctioned due to ‘bird strike’.
The plane’s black box will be sent to America Officials have recovered the ‘black box’ of the plane. The orange colored black box is a hard disk-like device, which collects all the data of the aircraft. It also records conversations between pilots in the cockpit to determine what happened just before the crash. Along with computer announcements, it also records announcements related to passengers.
According to experts, this accident was so terrible that even the ‘Black Box’ was partially damaged. Therefore it will be sent to America. In such a situation, it may take some time to obtain the data. Only after this will it be known what happened in the 4 minutes between the bird strike alert being sent and the plane hitting the wall.
