The South Korean government is investigating a plane crash in Muan that resulted in 179 fatalities. Preliminary reports indicate a bird strike occurred shortly before the aircraft made an emergency landing without its landing gear deployed. Experts are examining the relationship between the bird strike and the landing gear issue, while emphasizing that bird strikes are often unharmful. Further analysis will depend on data retrieved from the aircraft’s black boxes, with Boeing’s interests in a swift resolution due to ongoing scrutiny following other incidents.
