US, Boeing investigators probe site of deadly South Korean plane crash

Hindustan Times  

A team of U.S. investigators including representatives from Boeing have examined the site of a plane crash that killed 179 people in South Korea while authorities were conducting safety inspections on all Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by the country’s airlines. Investigators, including officials from South Korea's Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board, US National Transportation Safety Board and aircraft manufacturer Boeing, stand by the mound where the instrument landing system localiser is located, at the scene where a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 aircraft crashed and burst into flames at Muan International Airport. All but two of the 181 people aboard the Boeing 737-800 operated by South Korean budget airline Jeju Air died in Sunday's crash. He said that would be consistent with the landing gear and wing flaps not being deployed “and might indicate a control issue which would explain the rush to get on the ground.” The Boeing 737-800 -- an earlier version of 737 than the Max -- is a widely used plane with a good safety record, according to Najmedin Meshkati, an engineering professor at the University of Southern California who has studied aviation safety.
