Some pointed out that one of the reasons for the damage was that the mudflats were made of concrete after the fuselage landing, and there was an answer from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's briefing this morning. Let's hear what it's about.

◆ Anchor
So, this blunt object, this is called localizer equipment, and it must be installed, but why was it made of concrete, and did this make it even more angry?

◇ Youngjoo Lee
As previously announced, most of the airport facilities are not arbitrarily installed or anything like that. Basically, there are regulations and standards for installation, and those are not simply part of domestic law, but are applied by internationally accepted standards. In particular, in the case of international airports, these facilities are probably legally installed because various facility standards and safety standards must be certified as international airports.

However, the problem was that the support part of the localizer and the structure of the support support were made of concrete, so the upper localizer itself was satisfied with the fact that it should break easily in case of something caught or hit so that there was no physical impact on the aircraft or the hit, but there seems to be a slight difference in whether such parts should be considered, including the lower structure and the support structure. However, there was a problem with the support part because it collided.Ma said that if this support structure itself also has the main purpose of fixing the localizer well, it may be difficult to conclude that this is the wrong installation. Unfortunately, it's a pity that it collided with you and caused a problem.

◆ Anchor
Do you think the actual damage would have been reduced more if the concrete structure, the hillside, had the localizer not been there or were further away?

◇ Youngjoo Lee
It's a consequential story, so if you didn't crash here, there's a good chance you wouldn't have crashed somewhere else, and there's a possibility that a fire might have occurred for another reason. However, the primary collisions, in short, what we're thinking about now, hit here, so I think it would have been safe without him, but without that, there is a possibility that another variable would have suffered a different pattern of damage. So, unfortunately, it's a shame that we wish we had taken care of this beforehand and eliminated it, but even if we didn't have it, it's right to say that there would have been risks in other situations or other types of accidents.
