The deadliest plane crash in South Korea's history has raised many uncertainties, with experts questioning the initial bird strike theory. The absence of visible landing gear, the aircraft's belly landing, and the timing of the incident are all under scrutiny.
Uncertainties surround the deadliest plane crash on South Korea n soil, experts said on Sunday, questioning initial suggestions that a bird strike might have brought down Jeju Air flight 7C2216.The apparent absence of landing gear, the timing of the twin-engine Boeing BA.N 737-800's belly-landing at Muan International Airport and the reports of a possible bird strike all raised questions that could not yet be answered.
"The voice recorder will probably provide the most interesting analysis of what went on on this tragic crash."Within a few minutes, the control tower issued a bird strike warning, pilots declared mayday and then attempted to land, officials said, although it was not clear whether the aircraft had hit any birds.Experts said it seemed unlikely a bird strike would have caused the landing gear to malfunction.
