Cause of South Korean plane crash unclear as officials focus on bird strikes
ai generated text
The investigation into the cause of the Jeju Air plane crash is ongoing, with US transportation authorities assisting South Korea's probe. The most likely explanation for the crash is a bird strike, but experts have questioned this theory due to the severity of the incident, which involved a fire and extensive damage. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Boeing, the manufacturer of the aircraft, are all involved in the investigation.
We have received terrible news of a plane crash in South Korea with many fatalities.
My heartfelt condolences go out to the people of South Korea and Thailand, and all those that have lost loved ones.
I believe no words of consolation would suffice for the bereaved families who have suffered this tragedy.
All related agencies must mobilise all available resources to save the personnel.
We are reviewing plans to conduct a special inspection on B737-800 aircraft.
It is unlikely that the accident was caused by the length of the runway.
We at Jeju Air will do everything in our power in response to this accident. We sincerely apologise for causing concern.
We can't say at this moment it was related to landing gear malfunction pending an investigation.
The only way for bereaved families to feel that [Jeju Air] has done everything it can is to help bereaved families financially. Parents of a family have passed away. There are only kids left, and how can they live on their own? This is something neither the provincial officials nor the government can help with.
We have serviced this aircraft in accordance with the maintenance programme, and there was no sign of anything unusual with this plane.
The engines are designed to actually expel any foreign objects.
I've never seen a bird strike prevent the landing gear from being extended.
