South Korea to review airport runway walls after deadly Jeju Air crash
South Korea will review concrete walls at airport runways following a deadly crash on December 29, which killed 179 people. The walls, designed to support landing instruments, will be modified to enhance safety, according to Transport Minister Sangwoo Park. The crash involved a Jeju Air flight attempting an emergency landing without landing gear. The plane hit a concrete structure, leading to an explosion. Investigators are examining the airfield's design and the possibility of bird strikes affecting the engines. Authorities are also analyzing data from the flight recorders to determine the crash's cause. A joint investigation team includes experts from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and Boeing.
