Jeju Air 737 crash South Korea

[quintessentone]

I first offer condolences for all those people who are affected personally from this tragic event.

The "gears up" landing sounds to be one of multiple failures.  

I don't want to sound silly, but this is another Boeing incident to add to an already long list... I never imagined it continue to get worse.

I know it's probably too early to make guesses about this... but that was quite a fireball when it hit the fence... would that be because they still had fuel in the wings?

I too offer condolences for the families that are grieving over their loss of loved ones from this horrifying tragic crash.

I am just reading that this type of aircraft does still carry a good amount of fuel at the time of landing as well, because of it's longer design and so that the tail will not drag on the runway, the landing speed needs to be at a higher speed.

I am also reading where Boeing's manufacturing problems have been reported as them using faulty parts and rudder jamming issues due to, get this, " seals at supplier Collins Aerospace were installed backwards, allowing water to enter and freeze at high altitudes, inhibiting rudder movement. However this is far from the only problem with rudder controls on the Max". (A quick google search will confirm that Collins Aerospace also worked/works on the 737-800.)

Additionally, I am also reading where Boeing has not yet addressed these manufacturing problems, to this date!

I advocate for all aircraft manufacturers to design planes whereby passengers and crew are somehow protected from the forces of a crash and fire, something akin to an airbag, but I'm not an engineer, I am a customer that thinks they should do much better to protect lives.

The bird strike cause is being disputed.
 

"Why didn't fire tenders lay foam on the runway? Why weren't they in attendance when the plane touched down? And why did the aircraft touch down so far down the runway? And why was there a brick wall at the end of the runway?" said Airline News editor Geoffrey Thomas.
