Jeju Air 737 crash South Korea

[Zaphod58]

I too offer condolences for the families that are grieving over 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".

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.
 

Boeing has taken steps to correct manufacturing issues, but Collins isn’t Boeing. A manufacturer isn’t going to get parts from a supplier, then tear them apart to make sure they’re built right.

As for disputing it, apparently these people know better than a passenger, flight attendant, pilot, and video showing engine problems consistent with a bird strike.

As for that quote, they don’t foam runways any more. That would be worse if they did. The fire trucks stage at both ends of the runway, and at the middle. They touched down long because they had a higher approach speed so they floated. The wall is there to keep aircraft from hitting things beyond the runway like the ILS antenna, or buildings off the airport.
