The Gears Malfunctioned Due to The Bird strike the Propeller breaks Off as Half Of The Passengers Got Injured The Front and Middle Passengers Died From the Explosion Rest and Peace to Jeju And The Passengers

simple question: why no flaps or reverse thrusters to slow it down?

@fujioka_909 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

スカッとする素敵な事故でした。

@UnitedYardTV May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

This sounds like pilot suicide to me.
Dont make any sense. The pilot did everything to not land the plane safely. Something was going on we dont know about. The landing gear can be pulled electronic or hydraulically.

@AdityaSinha-p6x May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

People acting like they know it all and these cases take 17 seconds to solve.
better focus on their own life.

@mayankमोनंटि May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Just very cery sad that we could not save them one day people will not be wble to save us

@mayankमोनंटि May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

4:15 exactly exactly I also was thinking same

@joseantoniorodriguezi6755 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

1.) In some videos you can see that the right turbine catches fire after the incident with a bird. Other videos also suggest fire in the left turbine too. Some experts suggest that the captain made a mistake by turning off the left turbine, which was still operational. If at least one turbine worked, the plane could be landed, but with some difficulty.

2.) When the plane lands, it does so almost in the middle of the runway (suggests rushing) and in the opposite direction to the landing strip, with the landing gear retracted and the “flaps” not deployed. I assume that the captain was trying to fly the plane by gliding, since he no longer had support from the electrical and hydraulic systems. That could also explain why the captain did not deploy the flaps, when he landed, to help slow the plane. In the video you can see that the plane moves on the runway at high speed (almost without resistance) and stops violently against the wall.

3.) I would not rule out a design problem on the 737, airplane maintenance problems or incomplete overhauls. Because it is an old airplane model. It is incredible that the plane did not have temporary electrical support systems for when both turbines fail.

4.) You do not need to apply anti-fire foam on the entire runway (+/- 3 km). In this case, it would be approximately on the last kilometer.

5.) The accident may have been caused by the combination of more than one element: a) incident with the turbines b) maintenance c) human factor (the pilots may have panicked)

@Juniperus_Godegara May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

No way they are going to publicize the truth

@Skipbo000 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

The answer is the oldest, most lame, most popular one on earth: THEY FORGOT. They tried desperately to get airborne again but with the engines dragging on the pavement forcing the opening of the reverse thrust apparatus, becoming airborne was impossible. The bird strike served only to be a dangerous distraction causing them to panic making them believe they suddenly needed to get on the ground as soon as possible and as a result they simply forgot to do the most basic of tasks having done it once already just a few moments ago, to again release the landing gear.

@JamesBraun-n1p May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

How about they did not know about the manual gear release handles under a access panel just to the right of the pilots seat Raise the panel and pull a handle , one for each set of wheels . I still say they did not know what to do .

@DenysGonzalezMinisterio May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Wrong answer! Because
Pilot didn’t change there mind; it was the control center operator that tell them to get back and land the wrong way 😭

@solapowsj25 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

It's the same as reported: bird strike, failed landing gear, and there were only about 20 seconds before the plane crashed, a fireball.

@vento539 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Stop terrors in US and S. Korea against movements of Stop the Steal ! Save S. Korea from China !!!

@byram101 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

this was informative.. though it raises even more questions as he said.

@HeresTheThingOfItYoutube May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Was the plane hacked somehow? Very strange crash

@lanzremonte7913 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

The reporters make up is just too much

@AninePlus May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

This is pilot error… the landing gear can be lowered manually…and bad decision to make 180 turn too fast

@watersports1381 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

i still believe north korea killed a defector or a spy aboard that plane, the other passengers were just collateral damage

@americanaviation556 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

This was the most preventable crash this year. firstly, there is high bird activity around the airport, and there is a hard surface at the end of the runway. also its the crews fault for forgetting the systems on the 737, if i were them i would have it memorized by heart. also if i were the crew i would’ve continued for landing instead of going around. on landomh i would have landed early which it wouldn’t had overran.

I AM ONLY 12 YEARS OLD SO I AM SORRY IF IM WRONG ABOUT THIS

@jkough8049 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Democratic Party in South Korea(Radical left wing) illegally impeached the president, Yoon Seok Yeol, prime minister, and 29 other ministers appointed by the president due to the civil war by the pro-China, left wing Democratic Party(Leader, Lee Jae Myung) leaving the National Assembly under dictatorship and completely paralyzed the president's work, Eventually leading President Yoon Suk Yeol to inform the people of the national crisis through martial law for two hours to stop the constitutional corruption. The Democratic Party leader, a pro-China North Korea supporter ‘Lee Jae Myung’ who is currently on trial with four criminal convictions, illegally impeached and suspended the president, Yoon Suk Yeol. He is trying to communize South Korea. The left-wing Democratic Party also illegally appointed two constitutional judges using the acting president, Choi Sang Mok to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol. With the Chinese Communist Party, Lee Jae-myung is trying to make South Korea a communist country Please pray for beautiful South Korea to keep a freedom and the strong allies with the U.S 🇰🇷🇺🇸

@Bob-cd5pp May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Flight Crew panicked. RIP 180 soles on board

@LisaSmith-rw2zm May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

The plane was malfunction , engineering failures .go sue the company who made the planes

@Pw-f100 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

He came in pretty fast about 165mph, even if the landing gear was down I'd be surprised if he could have stopped before hitting that berm

@Pw-f100 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Back in the 90s I saw a TWA Flight that went through a flock of Canadian geese, one went through the ray dome and radar dish, one hit the Leading Edge slat, one hit an engine nose cowl. Have seen many smaller bird strikes just smears on the fuselage or a nicked fan blade Puff of smoke out of that engine indicates to me it was pretty good size bird..

@minos3041 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

I could give you the same answer cause he said I don’t know

@rofo2107 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

The problem with that particular Jeju 737 800 started on route to china and it was engine related as far as i know. It seems to be related to the shortage of spare parts for engines on the market. I doubt they repaired the engine in 2 days, it is impossible as it is not a normal standard repair, so we have good probability this flight which ended in the wall with 178 fatalities flew with one failing engine in questionable shape and the other engine was possibly destroyed in the birdstrike. It is consistent with video footage, with one engine backfiring and pumping because of compressor stall (right engine) and the other engine completely out (left engine). In such situation Boeing has not any backup for many hydraulic systems including flaps and spoilers, hence the high landing speed without flaps. As there was only one damaged engine available and it was destroyed completely after the touchdown, there was not thrust reverse so the doomed aircraft overshot the runway and ended in the concrete wall. It doesn't sound as a pilot mistake at all. It sounds as a problem with airplane design, airport design and maintenance and spare parts availability on the market and supply chain. And it looks like maintenance crew greenlighted faulty engine in the air.

@DOZY69 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

in the old days, american made actually means something but now is just full of lies and money in the CEO pocket.

@FirjunFM May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Did the pilot dump fuel before emergency landing?

The runwaway design seems dangerous

@justhearken8106 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Why can't some kind of steel screen type of covers over the engines be used to keep the birds from passing through the engines themselves….??? Would one bird on the cover keep the engine from running properly???

@masdwi8688 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

condolences for the disaster of the crash of the jejuh plane, may the families left behind be given fortitude

@edcfyau May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

In the future, planes may need to be equipped with tail parachutes to prevent catastrophes like this

@Bestdaredevilabc May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

I know everything that happened

@Bestdaredevilabc May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

I know everything that happened

@Bestdaredevilabc May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

I survived the crash, I was in the rear section and walked away without injury.

@alanmorrison3598 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

All 737s have triple redundancy for hydraulic systems. Loss of an engine is no problem unless the good engine is shut down in error. If this was the case, there would be no time for the pilots to do much of anything but get on the ground ASAP although a restart of one engine may have been attempted. The concrete support structure for the ILS antennas may have been there to protect occupied buildings in the path of the overrun should the outer concrete wall have been breached. Many questions still need to be answered.

@tylerdurdensystem7317 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

There seems to be two distinct camps here. One says WALL! The other says DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. I'm in the second camp.

@Tazjet100 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Failure to read the Checklist. Why abandon a stabilized approach for an unnecessary go around? Cell phone footage shows wheels and flaps were down at moment of birdstrike. Why raise flaps and gear then make a second approach without gear down? ANSWER failure to perform checklist.[Update 9 January] These Jeju pilots had a flyable aircraft and made a deliberate wheels up landing. This crash needs a psychologist to solve it. The pilot flying likely the 6,500hr captain made really crazy decisions. I doubt he ever communicated with his 1,600hr co-pilot.

@raywest3834 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

You can't blame a bird strike for the crew landing with the wheels up! Preliminary indications are that a routine, survivable emergency procedure was botched.

@developmentandnewgovernmen237 May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Based on the video i saw clearly, i don’t think it’s about birds striking, I clearly saw the Landing gear tires didn’t come out and the plane landed with it belly that caused the crash and additional the concrete walls was so close . Just very bad experience and bad news

@JAM-oj1yz May 10, 2025 - 6:07 pm

Pilot incompetence.
After the bird strike, the pilot is succumbed to the pressure. You can't even determine if it's attempting a landing or a go around because they chose both lol
