Concrete wall crisis in South Korea accident: Negligence or conspiracy?

A passenger plane carrying 175 passengers and 6 flight attendants in South Korea skidded off the runway and crashed into a wall. 179 of the 181 people on board lost their lives in the accident. As debris clearing efforts begin at Muan Airport, where the accident took place, various questions have arisen. Experienced pilots using the airport claim that they were unaware of the concrete wall that triggered the explosion on the plane. It is stated that the concrete wall, which cannot be distinguished from a pile of soil when viewed from the air, is not on any airport map or guidebook. These claims are the answer to the question of “negligence or conspiracy?” in one of the worst aviation disasters in South Korea’s history. question comes to mind. Here are the new claims about the accident and the latest status of the wreckage…

South Korean investigators are still investigating the cause of the crash of the Jeju Air plane that killed all but two of the 181 people on board.
A pilot with seven years of experience at Muan International Airport said they were never informed of the existence of a concrete pile on the airport’s runway, and that it was indistinguishable from a pile of soil.
It is thought that the concrete structure significantly increased the severity of the accident, and that the explosion was triggered by the plane hitting the wall during the landing with its fuselage up.
The experienced pilot said, “During countless takeoffs and landings, I saw the wall from the air and assumed it was a pile of dirt. It never occurred to me that it was made of concrete.”
The pilot, who stated that no authorities informed them, said, “There was no indication on the airport maps or in a separate manual that the wall was a 2-meter-high and 4-meter-thick concrete structure. The other pilots were also unaware of its true nature.”
Teams have begun debris clearance efforts at Muan Airport, where the accident took place.
South Korea’s Transport Ministry said 101 Boeing 737-800 aircraft have been grounded by the country’s airlines following the country’s worst aviation disaster announced that special inspections for all of them have been extended by one week.
South Korean police raided the offices of Jeju Air and the operator of Muan International Airport yesterday as part of an investigation. Jeju Air CEO Kim E-bae has also been banned from leaving the country.
Authorities hope that black boxes recovered from the plane’s wreckage will provide important clues about the pilot’s landing efforts after the landing gear failed to deploy.

It was announced that data was obtained from the black box that recorded sounds in the cockpit. Now, this data is expected to be converted into an audio file and examined.

It is noted that the data in the flight information record in the second black box will be more difficult to obtain. This damaged black box was sent to the US so that its data can be extracted.
