South Korea orders inspections of Boeing 737-800 planes after deadliest airline disaster of 2024

South Korean officials said Monday they will conduct safety inspections of all Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by the country's airlines, as they struggle to determine what caused a plane crash that killed 179 people a day earlier.

Sunday's crash, the country’s worst aviation disaster in decades, triggered an outpouring of national sympathy. Many people worry how effectively the South Korean government will handle the disaster as it grapples with a leadership vacuum following the recent successive impeachments of President Yoon Suk Yeol and Prime Minister Han Duck-soo, the country’s top two officials, amid political tumult caused by Yoon’s brief imposition of martial law earlier this month.

After Boeing moved HQ from Everett to Chicago and then Virginia, I knew these type of things will keep happening… they are not an engineering company anymore, they are a financial company and lobby company.

Hey, what about the two astronauts stuck in ISS waiting for SpaceX to rescue? 😂

I don't think Boeing built a Concrete wall at the end of the runway and are not responsible for Bird Strikes

Here we go again. Blaming Boeing for other airlines quite possibly lack of maintenance.

Good thing we are paying boeing employees more for good quality . I hope they can figure it all out after laying off all the senior experienced ppl . Condolences to the family’s who lost lives .
But boeing will point as much finger before saying there going to look at it carefully …
