A lot of the times when I read about people dying in the news I make up some rationalization to avoid the weight of feeling sad. This time my thinkmeat is failing me.
Remind me to never fly a boeing
Landing gear went to shit it seems like, thing was grinding on the tarmac all the way. RIP, horrible.
Voepass. LATAM. Singapore Airlines. Saurya. JAL. Azerbaijan Airlines. Jeju Air.
Terrible year for aviation related accidents. The world feels like a weirdly depressing place these days. It’s not like we did not have tragedies before but I have never felt so hopeless.
Before its another OhNoBoEiNg thread someone actually present some evidence of another failure before just pointing out the type and scare mongering.
What did it hit at the end?
Another? Ok, maybe I should keep away from planes after all.
It seems like it hit a wall at the end. Shouldn’t it have a significant stretch of flat land for cases like that?
I’ll say video tends to make crashes seem more often but still, sad. RIP to those folks. Condolences to their families.
Why would you put a wall at the end of the runway those poor people
Apparently they tried to land once without the landing gear and went back around to try again.
Would have been ok without that strange bank/wall at the end of the runway. Whose idea was that?!
RIP.
“The accident occurred as Jeju Air flight 7C2216, carrying **175 passengers and six crew** on a flight from the Thai capital Bangkok. […] **Two people were found alive and rescue operations were still under way,**”
“Aviation tracking site FlightRadar24 said the aircraft appeared to be a Boeing 737-800. Boeing did not immediately respond to a request for comment.”
That’s horrible. The last couple months haven’t been good for South Korea.
If it’s only 28 from the video of that explosion that’s absolutely amazing..
so watching the video, obviously the landing gear failed but aside from the hydraulics, the 737 also has a cable activated free-fall mechanism that can deploy the landing gear. pretty wild if both failed, but it’s also not really possible for the pilots to just forget or not use it. second thing is, no flaps on the wings so either that was another hydraulics failure or for some reason they flew a VERY fast approach, else the plane would stall. so there’s at least one failure with the plane, likely more. we’ll have to wait for the investigation but i doubt birds are the lone cause of this.
Man this is not what I’m hoping to read as I’m sitting on a plane waiting for takeoff
If they were attempting a land without landing gear, was this deemed the best / longest runway to do it at?
Korea can’t catch a break.
Why is there a giant wall so close to the end of the runway?
47 fatalities now 🙁
Its called as Belly landing. Landing gear was not working i suppose
The plane must have been in a state where it had to land otherwise you’d imagine that ATC would instruct the plane to circle the runway until the ground crew could do as much as possible to make the plane land more safely without the landing gear. I’m sure there is a protocol for this, which doesn’t seem was followed.
This is the 4728772627th article I’ve seen out of South Korea today. What is going on over there right now?
Hoping the casualties remain as low as possible. I know a ton of people are critically injured.
Nooo 😭
Is it just me or are plane crashes increasing?
Now at 47
The plane was moving awfully fast, was it trying to take off again after a failed landing?
my friend in korea is saying it’s 2 alive and 47 bodies so far… horrific
edit: jesus, 62 now
Update: All people on board except two rescued presumed killed in Muan plane accident: firefighting agency
From Yonhap news
Terrible
They say it’s statistically much more dangerous to ride a car than a plane but these frequent plane crashes are making me scared shitless of taking a flight anytime soon
This crash makes no sense.
– No landing gear
– No flaps
– High speed
– No Spoilers
But then the plane has reverse thrust on. In the video it seems as though, there’s no fire trucks ready waiting at the runway.
So whatever happened it had to have happened really late on their approach with no Mayday or Pan call out. Which I’m basing off Firefighters not being ready on the runway.
Then on a 737-800 there’s really no reason why the gear shouldn’t deploy. There’s too many failsafes (electric, gravity via manual cable deployment, etc). Then even if those didn’t work, the gears are independent so 1 of the gears should have at least partially deployed. Then the plane not being configured for landing with spoilers and flaps extended. Especially if they knew it would be without landing gear. Either this is sadly massive pilot error or the plane went haywire early on their approach (But even that makes little sense). Just really confusing and incredibly tragic.
Edit: There’s video that pretty conclusively shows it was most likely a bird strike on the right engine. Which could explain a single engine down and potentially a loss in hydraulics. But at least based on the video it looks like the plane would be at a height where you would expect flaps deployed and landing gear down prior to the bird strike. But neither are configured in the crash.
South Korean here, the government and rescue agencies just announced a list of 175 passengers. The death toll may be as high as 179.

Oh wow, horrible
A lot more than that for sure. Nsfw https://x.com/BNONews/status/1873174704720425440
No way anyone lived through that 🙁
Another Boeing. Such terrible news.
Fuck’s sake. My condolences.

181 passengers. 2 confirmed rescued and 179 assumed to have perished. The crash video is horrific. Absolutely tragic crash. RIP.
