South Korea plane’s final moments captured on video before hitting concrete barrier, triggering explosion
A chilling video has emerged showing the last moments of a plane that crashed in South Korea on Sunday, killing at least 179 people.
The footage captures the Jeju Air flight attempting to land at Muan International Airport when it suddenly veered off the runway and hit a concrete barrier, causing an explosive crash.
The tragic incident occurred at approximately 9:03 am local time near the town of Muan, which is about 180 miles south of Seoul. The plane was arriving from Bangkok when it suffered the devastating crash.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that the aircraft appeared to be traveling too quickly before impact, with some suggesting that a bird strike could have played a role in the disaster. However, authorities have not confirmed any theories as of yet.
The investigation into the cause of the crash is still in its early stages, but officials at the Transport Ministry have emphasized that it may take several months to determine the root cause.
In related news, an airport control tower had issued a bird strike warning to the pilot mere minutes before the incident, permitting the aircraft to land in an alternate area. The possibility of a collision with birds has sparked concern among experts and investigators alike.
The plane was virtually destroyed upon impact, with only the tail assembly remaining recognizable amidst the wreckage.
