The preliminary investigation into South Korea's Jeju Air crash reveals that while both engines suffered bird strikes, pilots shut down the less-damaged engine before the crash landing. This finding, suggesting pilot error, has sparked outrage from bereaved families and pilots who accuse authorities of scapegoating the deceased. The investigation board canceled a press briefing due to protests. While the report found no engine defects, it didn't explain the pilots' actions, leading to accusations of a biased investigation. The final report is expected by June, encompassing other potential factors like airport infrastructure and air traffic control procedures.
