One month after the Korean Air crash, what the accident investigation committee's report has revealed so far

Today, the 29th, marks one month since the passenger plane crash at Muan Airport in southwestern South Korea, in which 179 passengers and crew died. Prior to this, the South Korean Accident Investigation Committee announced that it had
The airline has submitted an initial report to the US, French and Thai authorities, which includes a statement that both engines showed signs of bird strikes.
It has been discovered that the black box did not contain any recordings from the approximately four minutes before the car collided with the wall, and it is expected that it will take some time to determine the exact cause of the accident.
The Jeju Air flight, carrying 181 passengers and crew members, departed from Bangkok and approached Muan International Airport at around 8:30 a.m. on the 29th of last month.
After giving clearance to land, the pilot of the passenger plane reported a bird strike. The plane sent out a distress signal and the first landing attempt was a "go-around."
For some reason, the wheels did not function properly, and after attempting a second belly landing, the aircraft left the runway, crashed into a wall, and burst into flames.
179 crew members and passengers died in the accident. It was the deadliest passenger plane accident to occur in South Korea, and the first Korean aircraft accident to occur in South Korea.
This was the largest loss of life since the Korean Air crash in Guam in 1997, which killed 229 people. The Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported at the time that "It was literally a scene of carnage.
The passenger plane crashed into the airport's outer wall, and only the rear fuselage and part of the tail remained, with the shape of the fuselage barely recognizable. The entire plane, which had split in half, was completely in pieces.
Rescue workers who work there have been saying, "I've never seen such a cruel scene in my life." The cause of this accident is said to be a "bird strike" or "landing
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said at a press conference on the 7th of this month that "part of a feather was discovered in the process of removing soil that had gotten into the engine."
It has also been pointed out that the accident was caused by the aircraft colliding with a concrete structure at the end of the runway, which is thought to have contributed to the damage.
The concrete structure was installed to support a localizer, a type of antenna that guides aircraft along the runway. The structure was located about 200 to 300 meters from the end of the runway, but the government
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has stated that it believes there is no legal problem with setting up the facility in this location, and reiterated this position at a press conference on the 7th of this month.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Railway Accident Investigation Committee is investigating the cause of the accident.
Meanwhile, the committee revealed on the 11th that the black box (flight recorder and cockpit voice recorder) recordings had stopped about four minutes before the aircraft crashed and burst into flames.
The recording of the last four minutes before the collision was expected to provide important clues to clarify the cause of the accident. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Committee released its initial accident investigation report on the 25th.
According to the report, feathers and bloodstains of Tomoe ducks were found on the two engines of the passenger plane. Tomoe ducks are migratory birds that travel in large flocks in winter. Security cameras at Muan Airport captured the feathers and bloodstains of Tomoe ducks.
The footage also showed the aircraft coming into contact with a flock of birds. The report noted a possible link to a bird strike, but said the cause of the accident was "still under investigation."
According to the committee, the airport's control tower had issued a "bird activity alert" to the plane. The captain and co-pilot then reported that there was a flock of birds underneath the plane.
Seconds later, the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder all stopped recording. The Korean newspaper Dong-A Ilbo reported that "immediately after the captain and co-pilot noticed the flock of birds, the flock of birds
"It is estimated that the collision with the aircraft caused a power outage (shutdown) of the aircraft," the ICAO said.
The accident investigation committee has submitted its report to ICAO, the United States, France and Thailand. ICAO has requested that the final report be made public within one year. The investigation committee said, "Detailed analysis and verification will require a number of
It will take more than a month," he said, indicating his intention to continue the investigation.
