A year has passed since a plane crash shook South Korea, but the families of those lost are still searching for answers. They've been camped out at Muan International Airport, refusing to leave until they understand what happened. The crash of Jeju Air Flight 2216 from Bangkok killed 179 people. Only two survived. The plane skidded off the runway, hit a wall, and exploded. But why? That's what everyone wants to know.
Birds were involved. The plane struck a flock before it crashed. But was that the only reason? Investigators aren't saying much. The families think the investigation isn't fair. They want an independent team to look into the crash, not one connected to the Transport Ministry. Warnings were ignored. Reports showed that officials knew about the bird danger near the airport. They also knew the concrete wall at the end of the runway was risky. Why didn't they do something? These are the questions that need answers. The families are tired of waiting. They're tired of feeling sad and angry. They just want the truth. But will they ever get it? Only time will tell.
