Pilot claims South Korea airport failed to disclose concrete wall before deadly crash

A veteran pilot stated that Muan International Airport in South Korea did not inform pilots about a concrete wall located 250 meters past the runway. The wall, disguised as a dirt mound, was involved in a crash last month that killed 179 people. The Boeing 737-800's landing gear failed, causing it to skid off the runway and collide with the wall. Investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding the crash, which is now the deadliest air disaster in South Korea's history. The wall, built last year to support a navigation antenna, has raised safety concerns. Experts noted that similar structures at other airports are typically made of metal, which would collapse upon impact, potentially preventing such a tragedy.
