A Jeju Air Co. plane landing in South Korea veered off an airport runway and collided with a wall, killing at least 28 people, Yonhap reported on Sunday.

The flight, a Boeing Co. 737 aircraft, was carrying 175 passengers and 6 crew members to Muan International Airport, in the country’s south. It was returning from Bangkok, according to the news agency and Flightradar24 data. The 737 plane in question was not a Max jet.

The Korean transport ministry said it was investigating the crash. The airline and the fire department were not immediately available for comment.

The fatal crash takes place just days after a Dec. 25 crash involving an Azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane, killing dozens.

Take a shot for another Boeing downed.

The 737 plane in question was not a Max jet.

Is this supposed to be a good thing? It's spreading!

Jesus Christ, it's like straight out of a movie.
Just how many times is this going to happen before Boeing either goes under or Luigi?

 

[Rome's rightful successor]

I'm sure thousands of redditors are celebrating that finally there was a aeronautical accident caused solely by a Boeing plane.

"Killing at Least 28"
That crash does not look survivable I'd bet all 181 are dead

I knew there would've been a decent number of survivors from that Azerbaijani plane the other day because the back half of the plane was relatively unscathed but so far, with this Jeju Air crash, I haven't seen much of any intact fuselage besides the very rear part attached to the tail so I don't see how more than a handful of people could have survived this.

Can't go under as long as they keep getting government contracts and killing all the witnesses.

Just leaves Luigi I guess.

I think this was on the pilots not pulling the fuck up.

Steve Lookner (quoting Yonhap News) is saying one passenger and one crew member have been rescued. They gotta have been in the tail section, I think there's usually at least one jump seat for the attendants near the rear toilets on most larger airliners.

it blew the fuck up
if anyone survived, they're crippled at the very least

If governments are good at anything, it's burning money on declining or useless shit.

If it was landing maybe it had an issue with landing gear properly deploying?

 

[WelperHelper99]

Looking at the footage, they came in way too hot, way too fast. They needed to bleed off a fuckload more speed before making touchdown.

I just mentioned it. Everything looks functional. It's rolling fine. For some reason they came in EXTREMELY hot. They tried landing at the speed of fuck. The only option was to pull up and retry. It looks like pilot error to tell you the truth.

The thing exploded in a fireball, 28 dead my ass.

I'm sure thousands of redditors are celebrating that finally there was a aeronautical accident caused solely by a Boeing plane.

And also the thousands of Chinese and Japanese netizens celebrating too, just because it's another Korean mass casualty event.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Apparently it hit a bird prior to the crash? Maybe that fucked something up.

 

[Drama Fan]

Why is there a wall placed at the end of the runway?

The thing exploded in a fireball, 28 dead my ass.

That just means they found 28 bodies so far.

And yeah, that thing was going fast as allfuck. Damn Koreans.

For anyone wondering, it was Jeju Air Flight 7C 2216.
