A Boeing 737-800 aircraft crashed in South Korea following a reported bird strike, resulting in a belly landing and subsequent fire. Authorities are investigating the incident, considering various factors such as bird collision, mechanical failure, and the runway's proximity to a concrete embankment.
Shortly after the pilot reported a bird strike to air traffic control, the plane belly-landed without its landing gear, skidded into a concrete embankment near the runway, and burst into flames. South Korea n authorities said on Wednesday (January 1) that they extracted the initial data from one of the Boeing 737 -800’s two black boxes, with the other to be sent to the US for analysis due to damage it suffered in the crash.
“As there’s great public concern about the same aircraft model involved in the accident, the transport ministry and relevant organizations must conduct a thorough inspection of operation maintenance, education, and training,” South Korean acting president, Choi Sang-mok, said on Thursday. Aviation experts have reportedly raised a series of possible causes and contributing factors in the disaster, including a collision with birds, mechanical failure, and the presence of a hardened embankment less than 300 meters from the end of the runway
