Seoul, South Korea - Investigators found bird feathers and blood in both engines of the Jeju Air 089590.KS jet that crashed in South Korea last month, killing 179 people, a person familiar with the probe told Reuters on Friday.The Boeing 737-800 plane, which departed from the Thai capital Bangkok for Muan county in southwestern South Korea , belly-landed and overshot the regional airport's runway, bursting into flames after hitting an embankment.
Investigators this month said feathers were found on one of the engines recovered from the crash scene, adding that video footage showed there was a bird strike on an engine.South Korea's transport ministry declined to comment on whether feathers and blood were found in both engines.The plane's two black boxes - key to finding out the cause of last month's crash on the jet - stopped recording about four minutes before the accident, posing a challenge to the ongoing investigation.
