Plane that crashed killing 181 could have kept flying – investigators
SHARE
South Korean investigators have revealed that the Jeju Air plane that crashed in December could have potentially continued flying on the damaged engine that was still operational after pilots shut down the other engine following a bird strike. Unfortunately, the Boeing 737-800 belly-landed at Muan airport without its landing gear down, resulting in a tragic outcome for all but two of the 181 people on board.

While a final report on the incident is still pending, details about the condition of the plane’s engines have started to surface. According to a recent update from investigators, the left engine sustained less damage than the right engine but was shut down shortly after the bird strike. Despite experiencing flames and black smoke, the right engine was deemed capable of generating sufficient output for flight.

The actions of the crew, particularly the decision to shut down the less-damaged engine, have raised concerns among experts. The possibility that the plane could have remained airborne for longer with the damaged engine still running has also been highlighted in the investigation.

The update also mentioned that both engines showed signs of bird strike damage and vibrations post-impact. The right engine exhibited significant internal damage, while details about the condition of the left engine were not specified in the report.

As the probe continues, safety experts emphasize the importance of considering multiple factors in air accidents and avoiding premature conclusions based on incomplete evidence. The investigation is expected to last for several months as investigators piece together the technical state of the aircraft and the decisions made by the pilots.

The families of the victims have expressed concerns about the handling of the investigation, urging for a thorough examination of all contributing factors, including the state of the engines and the impact of the crash on navigation equipment. The aviation authorities in South Korea have also pledged to improve airport structures to enhance safety standards and prevent similar incidents in the future.

Jeju Air, the airline involved in the crash, has stated its cooperation with the investigation and is eagerly awaiting the final report. As the authorities work towards uncovering the root causes of the tragedy, the focus remains on ensuring accountability and implementing measures to prevent such accidents from occurring again.
