A Boeing 737-800 operated by Jeju Air crashed in South Korea, killing 179 people. U.S. investigators are examining the crash site while safety inspections are being conducted on all Boeing 737-800s in the country.
A team of U.S. investigators, including representatives from Boeing, examined the crash site of a Boeing 737-800 in South Korea on Tuesday. The plane, operated by Jeju Air, crashed on Sunday, killing 179 people. Video footage showed the aircraft landing without its landing gear deployed before it slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames. Preliminary examinations suggest the pilots received a bird strike warning and issued a distress signal.
Experts believe the landing gear issue was likely the main cause of the crash. South Korea's Transport Ministry has launched safety inspections on all 101 Boeing 737-800s in the country. Jeju Air's president, Kim E-bae, announced the airline will increase maintenance staff and reduce flight operations by 10-15% until March
