The Jeju Air passenger jet crash in December resulted in a deadly fireball after the plane skidded off a runway and hit a wall. Now, nearly a year later, the cause of the disaster remains unclear, prompting victims’ families to question the credibility and impartiality of the inquiry board overseeing the investigation.
Despite the passage of nearly a year since the incident, the investigation into the cause of the crash has stalled, raising concerns among the victims’ families. They argue that the inquiry board, which is responsible for determining the cause of the disaster, has not provided a clear explanation for the crash. This has led to criticisms of the board’s handling of the case, with some families alleging that the process has been biased or incomplete.
The tragedy has also sparked broader discussions about aviation safety in South Korea and the need for improved oversight. With no clear answers yet, the victims’ families continue to push for transparency and accountability in the investigation. As the public hearing is scheduled to take place, there is hope that it will finally provide some clarity on the circumstances that led to the crash.
