Families of South Korean Plane Crash Victims Demand Accountability and Answers

Relatives gather at Muan International Airport to seek justice for their loved ones lost in Korea's deadliest aviation disaster.


As families continue to grieve the loss of 179 lives in the Jeju Air crash, their focus is shifting towards uncovering the truth behind the tragedy. Frustrated by the lack of information, they are seeking answers regarding the accident's causes and aviation safety measures.



At Muan International Airport, a somber scene unfolds as families unite in their grief over the devastating Jeju Air crash that claimed 179 lives on December 29. Once an airport terminal, the area has transformed into a makeshift community center where relatives share meals, support each other, and even camp overnight in tents after receiving the tragic news.

Amidst the turmoil, a sense of camaraderie has blossomed among the families. "We’re a family now," expressed Son Joo-taek, who lost his son in the disaster. Surrounded by around 20 others, he emphasized the understanding they share—a bond that others may not fully comprehend.

However, sorrow has shifted to determination as families press for accountability. Following the crash, questions have surged regarding the incident. The aircraft, filled predominantly with vacationers returning from Thailand, failed to land properly, resulting in a high-impact collision that ignited a fierce fire, leaving only two survivors.

Frustrated by the limited disclosure from officials about the investigation, relatives of the victims have begun to take matters into their own hands. They are delving into aviation safety literature, learning the intricacies of flight operations, control tower communications, and airport design to better understand the circumstances that led to the crash.

The bereaved kin are particularly keen on uncovering the truth behind allegations of a bird strike just moments before landing, the circumstances surrounding the aircraft's landing gear malfunction, and the lack of adequate safety measures in the design of the concrete berm struck during the crash.

As they navigate this tragic journey, the families remain resolute in their quest for truth, unwilling to accept silence or complacency regarding an incident that has irrevocably altered their lives.
