Aviation expert 'shocked' by South Korea plane crash

An aviation expert has told Sky News a poorly designed airport was the reason why a passenger jet crashed into a wall, killing 179 people. David Learmount said many passengers would have survived the crash landing if a solid structure had not been built at the end of the runway. The Jeju Air plane, which was carrying 181 people, veered off the runway and into a wall before bursting into flames in the South Korean city of Muan. A bird strike and the landing gear failing to open correctly are possible causes of the crash. #southkorea #planecrash #skynews Read more: https://news.sky.com/story/south-korea-plane-crash-jeju-air-muan-airport-bird-strike-13281017 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
