Honestly, who builds a concrete structure 200 metres from the end of the rwy? Arrest the architect who designed it first.

[mischa]

I don’t get this. Wow. Jeju Air has been flying for how many years. Korean authorities are truly crazy.

[thegreatone]

The CEO didn’t put that concrete wall at the end of the run way. I guess they are trying to pin the blame on him 😢

[_Ben]

Are they gonna arrest the mixer truck drivers who delivered the concrete for the berm wall also...??? 🙄🙄🙄

[cjmvejby]

Sounds like they are desperately looking for scapegoats for that wall.

[_OpdeeMist]

DW why do you keep reporting Landing Gear malfunction, when there is no evidence just speculation?

[kitezzz]

Not even Trump would have put a wall there

[JohnWoo]

That is insane. Do they expect a CEO to micromanage everything?

[annhans]

I thought they said it was bird flight plus the concrete enbankment. Seems like the police is overdoing it to look good to the public.

[francisty]

South Korean Police will blame Jeju Air for not educating their pilots that there was a barrier on the Runway at the Airport.

[D__Lee]

*"Safety rules are written in blood."* After this accident is fully investigated, I don't know if there will be enough blood to write and re-write all the aviation safety rules that were violated.

[Rinnmeister]

How do you know that the landing gear was malfunctioning? This is the first I hear of this other than speculation. Please provide the source for this DW.

[lordjim]

It`s like they dumped broken glass in a playground for children and then blamed them for hurting themselves with that glass.

[yeoweehuathuat]

who the genuis built the brickwall ? not the CEO

[justforphone]

Nobody at that airport had an issue with that wall?

[donnahdunthorn]

Oh, please, saying "the landing gear" like you know this was some mechanical malfunction. Why not mention the flaps that weren't configured for landing. Or the fact that they landed too far down the runway, and way, way too fast. Then hit a giant cement wall that wasn't supposed to be there.

[aariel]

When the CEO came out and said "it was not due to mechanical" all the red flags started waving all around

[abbiudramos]

The only people that should be charged should be those who ordered that bloody brick wall at the end of a runway...if wall not there everyone would of survived.

[borishenkel]

The problem is the place where the airport is set and the concret barriers at the ends of runway.

[fools]

That’s like arresting the Toyota CEO for a car crash at a 4 way stop sign at a random city in the US 😂😂
