Jeju Air Crash Probe Focuses On Engine Damage After Bird Strike

Both engines of the aircraft involved in last month’s fatal Jeju Air crash in South Korea were found with bird remnants, though it remains unclear how much damage each sustained before the plane crashed into a concrete-reinforced embankment.

The findings emerged from an initial crash investigation report released Monday local time by South Korea’s transport ministry, which oversees the probe with the U.S., Boeing and the jet’s engine maker. The crash killed 179 people, in what was one of the deadliest aviation disasters in years.
