A Jeju Air plane crash at Muan International Airport is under investigation. The pilots' union alleges investigators are unfairly blaming the crew, ignoring potential contributing factors like the airport's earthen runway barrier and insufficient bird control. Eyewitnesses reported flames from the right engine after a bird strike, but the left engine was shut down by the pilots; however, investigators claim the left engine was not faulty. Concerns remain about inadequate bird mitigation measures, with only one of the four required bird control personnel on duty. The union and victims' families urge a thorough investigation considering all contributing factors to prevent future accidents.
