Credited from: SCMP

  • Intensified scrutiny surrounds a runway wall that contributed to the Jeju Air flight 7C2216 crash at Muan Airport, prompting calls for its removal.
  • The flight, carrying 181 people, attempted a wheelless landing following suspected undercarriage failures due to a bird strike.
  • Communications revealed the pilots sent a distress signal moments before the aircraft crashed and exploded after hitting the runway barrier.
  • Experts argue that the barrier structure, made of solid earth and cement, greatly worsened the accident's severity and violated safety standards.
  • The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport plans to investigate the design safety of runway structures and consider necessary improvements.
