‘Bird Strike, Bird Strike, Go-Around’: South Korean Plane’s Pilot’s Cry for Help Before Fatal Crash
The harrowing final moments of Jeju Air Flight 2216 have left South Korea in mourning after the country's deadliest aviation disaster unfolded at Muan International Airport. Moments before the crash that killed 179 of the 181 people aboard, the Boeing 737-800's pilot made a desperate "Mayday" call, reporting a "bird strike" and requesting a go-around landing. Tragically, the plane skidded off the runway, collided with a concrete barrier, and burst into flames, leaving the aircraft "almost completely destroyed." #SouthKoreaPlaneCrash #JejuAirCrash #PlaneCrashNews #SouthKoreaNews #AviationDisaster #PlaneCrashInvestigation #JejuAirTragedy #MuanAirportCrash #SouthKoreaTragedy #Boeing737Crash #AviationSafety #JejuAirlineCrash #SouthKoreaBreakingNews #Flight2216Crash #AviationAccident Also Read South Korea Orders Urgent Safety Inspections On All Boeing 737-800s After Fatal Crash :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/south-korea-orders-urgent-safety-inspections-on-all-boeing-737-800s-after-fatal-crash-4029451.html?ref=DMDesc South Korea Plane Crash: ‘Mayday’ Alert And Black Box Reveal Shocking Details :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/south-korea-plane-crash-mayday-alert-and-black-box-reveal-shocking-details-4029361.html?ref=DMDesc Jetliner Skids Off Runway in South Korea, Resulting in 179 Fatalities During Landing :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/jetliner-skids-off-runway-south-korea-aviation-disaster-011-4029039.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.125~PR.152~ED.102~
