Korean tv station kbs did an documentary with multiple cctv footages of the plane from bird strike to landing. Got cctv footage of the plane flew into a swarm of duck then immediately one of the engine compressor stalled.
Cockpit recorder had pilot saying cutoff engine. But shutdown wrong engine? Used flight simulator determined the remaining damaged engine had about 55% power.
Think from the video seems like the pilots saw the birds in front after the tower warning. Thus decided to abort the landing and initiated the go around just before the bird strike. But end up still hit. By then not possible to land straight bah. Have to deal with the situation at hand first.I’m inclined to think the pilot reacted wrongly. Likely not drilled enough in bird strike procedure, which is to continue with the landing, not go around.
Not taking sides, but think this case if not for the failure at the end of the runway. If everyone survived. Think probably not as many would really fault the pilot much. Cause think the pilot main job is to get everyone up and down safely. Which think the pilot did. But once on the ground with the plane no longer in the pilot control. Its sort of out of the pilot hand liao. And the fatal accident happened on the ground, not in the air.
If not wrong, from the video seems like the plane was losing power, if not attitude also. If so, there was no way for other more practical options. Which think its why the first two left and right turn turnaround were aborted (not enough power and height to carry through perhaps). The final turn to come in from the opposite approach was the last ditch attempt.I would disagree about the failure at the end of the runway. Regardless if the bund exists or not, it is improbable they would survive landing at those speeds without gears or flaps. given there are other structures beyond the airport. The TW pilot showed the official calculations of landing distance needed without flaps, it is just a question of what they hit.
While it is understandable that human make mistakes under stress, the initial situation is not an uncommon one. My feeling is still the pilots made a mistake and shut down the wrong engine: There’s no smoke in the video indicating severe ingestion and iirc the post accident photos of the left engine showed pretty intact blades.
That mistake was what turned a relatively routine incident into low survivability event. Coupled with not taking more time to lose airspeed before attempting to land, they were doomed the moment the pilots executed the final right turn![]()

And think from the video mentioned, seems that its because of the gears up that they were able to make that last turn with the lesser drag on the plane. If not, think the last turn was not possible also, they would have to fly straight and crash into population eventually perhaps.
As for survivability upon landing. Think it should be higher without the bund bah. Its a crash landing afterall, cannot really expect everything (gears down and flaps in position) to be swee swee. The plane already lose that ability to deploy so in midair. The plane have to come down with what it have.
And think the bund was questionable cause after the crash many were criticising it and mentioned that there were better options to slow the plane down in such situation. Most airports have to build for such where the plane will over run the runway in an emergency. If there is no other option, then the bund is no wrong perhaps. But seems like from many others, there was a better option.
ytd once more..how come thread tio revived?
KBS made a documentary on the crash with multiple cctv footage from different angles covering the entire time from bird strike to landing with air traffic control communication recording. Also interviewed the nearby residents.ytd once more..
i tot got new findings
blackboxWhat is 黑甲子?
Thanks.blackbox
that's why the video says it's not a pure case of error/accidentThanks.
But how can missing for four minutes.
