The families of those lost in the Jeju Air crash last December have taken a stand against negligence by filing a criminal complaint against 15 individuals, including the airline's CEO and South Korea's transport minister. With 179 lives claimed in this tragic incident, the bereaved relatives, consisting of 72 individuals, are urging for a deeper investigation, insisting the crash was a "major civic disaster" rather than just an accident.
Almost five months later, authorities are still probing the reasons behind the aircraft's emergency belly-landing at Muan International Airport. Families have expressed frustration over the slow progress, and Kim Da-hye, a grieving family member, vocalized their determination to find the truth despite facing online backlash and conspiracies about fabricated victimhood.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft was returning from Bangkok when it encountered problems five minutes before landing, reportedly striking a bird. Subsequent investigations identified bird feathers in the engines but haven’t established the full impact of the strike on the crash. Families are adamant that negligence in air traffic control and various safety management issues played a role in this heartbreaking event.
