179 Dead in South Korea Plane Crash

stock here: you just have to wonder what the real story is. And it’s laughable that someone floated out the idea that a “bird strike” could cause failures of 2 completely independent hydraulic systems. It’s a sign of abuse, and a test of how much bullshit they can get away with.

Ouch “JeJu Air” say that out loud

I did not watch the video until just now. Frame by Frame analysis should be able to show the speed of the plane. It does not appear to me that the plane was slowing down at all, and the pilots should have easily seen that they were going to hit the barrier and they should have done a touch and go or went to a different airport from the get go. It can be assumed that some “force”, aka Mossad, took control of the airplane controls

South Korean broadcaster MBC News has released footage of the Jeju Air Flight 2216 crash. The footage reveals that none of the aircraft’s landing gear was deployed at the time of impact: https://t.co/41fmWgZ1NY pic.twitter.com/3xRYPshKjH

|One X user asked: “I’m puzzled as to why the pilots of Jeju Air Flight 2216 didn’t use the landing gear manual extension. It’s incredibly strange that both hydraulic systems A & B failed simultaneously, leading to an attempt to land on a short runway without gear or flaps. This decision seems like madness.”

The manual extension on a Boeing 737-800 refers to a backup system for deploying the landing gear in the event of hydraulic system failure. This system is critical for emergencies where both the primary and secondary hydraulic systems (A and B) are compromised, which is an extremely rare scenario.
How Manual Gear Extension Works:

Gravity and Locking Pins: The manual extension system uses gravity and airflow to drop the landing gear into position. This is done by pulling a series of handles or levers located in the cockpit. These actions mechanically release the uplocks holding the gear in the retracted position.
Independent of Hydraulics: Since it operates mechanically, this system bypasses the failed hydraulic systems.

Jeju Air Flight 2216 Incident:

If reports suggest that both Hydraulic Systems A and B failed, the situation would be classified as a severe emergency. A simultaneous failure is extremely rare and often points to:

A catastrophic mechanical or structural failure.
Human error in managing the systems.
External damage, such as bird strikes, debris, or maintenance oversight.

Why Not Use the Manual Extension?

If the pilots did not use the manual gear extension, there could be several reasons:

Lack of Time: In high-stress situations, pilots might focus on other critical tasks, such as managing the aircraft's speed, altitude, and approach trajectory, and may fail to fully execute all emergency procedures.
Miscommunication or Confusion: Under extreme pressure, cockpit communication can break down, leading to procedural oversights.
Mechanical Issue with Manual Extension: The system itself might have been damaged or inaccessible due to the nature of the failure.
Runway Considerations: Attempting a gear-down landing on a short runway without sufficient braking capability could have been deemed riskier than a belly landing.
Flap and Gear Interdependency: Loss of hydraulics would also disable the flaps, making a controlled landing significantly harder, regardless of whether the gear was down.

Context and Inquiry:

Investigators will examine the following:

Why both hydraulic systems failed simultaneously.
Whether the manual gear extension was attempted.
The decision-making process in the cockpit.
Maintenance and inspection records.

The decision to attempt a landing without gear or flaps, while it may appear as “madness,” could have been influenced by a confluence of these factors. The final incident report will shed light on whether it was due to system failure, procedural missteps, or unavoidable circumstances.
