The tragedy, which resulted in 179 deaths, is South Korea's deadliest air disaster, with experts questioning the validity of a bird strike as the sole cause.
Multiple experts are urging a thorough investigation, stating premature conclusions regarding the crash could hamper the transparency and understanding needed for public safety.
Initial findings indicate that the aircraft’s landing gear malfunctioned, prompting an emergency descent and subsequent skidding along the runway without deploying gear.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport is prioritizing victim recovery and gathering insights from black box recordings before announcing a definitive cause of the crash.
