◇Anchor> Fire authorities said that many passengers died when they poured out of the fuselage at the time of the accident. What kind of situation can this be estimated?

◆Baek Seung-ju> Currently, the rest of the body except for the tail fuselage cannot be identified, but if you look at the on-site coverage and tip-off video, you can see even bags and magazines not touching the heat while the fire brigade investigates and collects the debris. So the early recovery of the victims from the tail fuselage was not a vigorous fire inside the tail fuselage, and it has a venting tank on the tail wing. Although the structure is not accurate, there are large aircraft, so there is a large amount of aviation oil on both sides of the wing, and there is also a fuel tank under the main body and through the center of the wing. There is also a venting tank on the tail wing. So, the fuels are on fire, but the fire does not seem to have reached much on the rear side of the fuselage. So, in such a situation, if it led to damage after the collision, even if you look at the report video, the rear part continued to receive physical shock and dragged it all the way. In that case, if it was damaged, I think it could be expected that there would have been a situation where people who had to wear relatively weak seat belts and sit in auxiliary chairs would come out first.

◇Anchor> The professor previously told me that the golden time was 90 seconds when the fire broke out, but looking at the situation at that time, there would have been no way for passengers to respond in 90 seconds, right?

◆Baek Seung-ju> That's right. In principle, when we board an aircraft, it is necessary to escape within 90 seconds to do emergency escape training and not fire extinguishing training. When designing the aircraft, we design the aircraft using only half of the entire emergency exit so that the power can escape out within 90 seconds. In that regard, it seems that it would have been difficult for passengers to open the door and escape. And it is predicted that it would have been difficult for individuals to take action on their own, even though we are in front, middle, and back of emergency exits.
