Traces of bird feathers and blood were found in the engine of the Jeju Air plane involved in the crash in South Korea that killed 179 people. The emergence of new details with each passing day has made the causes of the crash the most important topic of discussion. The South Korean Ministry of Transportation recently reported that the black boxes containing the cockpit voice recorders stopped recording 4 minutes before the disaster. As authorities try to find the cause of the data loss in the boxes containing clues about the final moments of the flight, questions about the accident are growing.
It was learned that the obtained video recordings showed the moment the bird hit the engine.
The South Korean Ministry of Transport has not yet made a statement on the issue.
The South Korean Ministry of Transport announced that the pilot requested emergency landing permission after the tower’s bird strike warning and landed with the landing gear retracted, and an investigation was launched to determine the exact cause of the accident.
