A deadly plane crash in South Korea raises questions about the government's ability to respond effectively to the disaster amid political instability.
A plane crash in South Korea that killed 179 people a day earlier sparked national sympathy. The incident, the country's worst aviation disaster in decades, raised concerns about the South Korea n government's ability to handle the crisis amidst political turmoil caused by the recent impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo.
Acting President Choi Sang-mok, who is also the deputy prime minister and finance minister, led a task force meeting on the crash and ordered an emergency review of the country's aircraft operation systems. The Boeing 737-800 plane operated by Jeju Air aborted its first landing attempt for unknown reasons and received a bird strike warning from ground control before its pilot issued a distress signal. It landed without its front landing gear deployed, veered off the runway, crashed into a concrete fence, and caught fire. Alan Price, a former Delta Air Lines chief pilot and current consultant, stated that the Boeing 737-800 is a reliable aircraft and distinct from the Boeing 737 Max jetliner involved in fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019
