S. Korea Launches Parliamentary Probe into Jeju Air Flight Crash
A specialized parliamentary committee composed of 18 National Assembly members commenced the inquiry, which will span a minimum of 40 days.
The committee intends to scrutinize contributing elements that may have triggered the disaster, including a bird strike and potential mechanical malfunctions.
Investigators will additionally assess whether officials attempted to suppress information during the government's examination of the incident.
On Dec. 29, 179 of the 181 passengers aboard a Jeju Air flight from Bangkok perished when the aircraft was compelled to execute an emergency landing at Muan International Airport, situated 290 kilometers (180 miles) south of Seoul, and exceeded the runway, colliding with a concrete barrier and erupting in flames. Only two crew members survived.
Relatives of those killed have voiced objection to the government investigation, questioning its transparency and credibility and demanding an independent probe, the report added.
