Questions being asked about wall at the end of the runway
People and experts are asking why was there a wall at the end of the runway in #SouthKorea after a #JejuAir plane crashed killing 179 people. The tragedy occurred over the weekend.
Aviation experts have raised questions about an "unusual" concrete wall near the runway and its role in the South Korea plane crash that killed 179 people.
Footage that has been widely shared online shows the Jeju Air plane coming off the runway before colliding with the wall and bursting into flames at #Muan International Airport on Sunday.
Authorities investigating the cause of South Korea's worst-ever plane crash are considering the significance of the concrete wall's location about 250m (820ft) off the end of the runway.
Air safety expert David Learmount said that, had the "obstruction" not been there, the plane "would have come to rest with most - possibly all - those on board still alive".
The pilot reported that the plane had struck a bird and then aborted the original landing and requested permission to land from the opposite direction.
The plane came down some distance along the 2,800m runway and appeared to land without using its wheels or any other landing gear.
Mr Learmount said the landing was "as good as a flapless/gearless touchdown could be: wings level, nose not too high to avoid breaking the tail" and the plane had not sustained substantial damage as it slid along the runway.
"The reason so many people died was not the landing as such, but the fact that the aircraft collided with a very hard obstruction just beyond the runway end," he said.
Christian Beckert, a Lufthansa pilot based in Munich, called the concrete structure "unusual", saying: "Normally, on an airport with a runway at the end, you don't have a wall."
The concrete structure holds a navigation system that assists aircraft landings - known as a localiser - according to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency.
At 4m high, it is covered with dirt
Multiple fatalities reported after plane incidents
There have been two seperate incidents involving passenger planes.
The first occurred late on Saturday, when A #KLM Boeing 737 made an emergency landing and skidded off the runway in Oslo!. There were no reported serious injuries
In the second, The #Jeju Air plane - thought to be a Boeing 737-800 - burst into a fireball at Muan International Airport in South Korea, killing at least 151 people, in another festive horror.
At least 151 people have died after a passenger plane burst into flames today a South Korean airport.
The Boeing 737-800 skidded off a runway at Muan Airport and slammed into a concrete fence, before it exploded into a fireball in one of the country's worst aviation disasters. Rescuers raced to pull people from the Jeju Air passenger plane and at least two survivors were scrambled free, it is understood.
The Transport Ministry said the plane was a 15-year-old Boeing 737-800 jet that was returning from Bangkok and that the crash happened at 9:03 am local time. The South Korean National Fire Agency said that the aircraft is believed to have experienced issues with its landing gear due to bird strike and footage shows it skidding along the runway with no wheels on the ground.
