Foreign media are also paying attention to the cause of the Jeju Air disaster, which caused the worst casualties.

Many questions have been raised, saying in unison that bird collisions may not be the only cause.

This is Washington correspondent Kwon Jun-ki.

With more than 5,000 airports in the United States, wildlife crashes are so common that more than 20,000 occur a year and more than 50 a day, the New York Times said.

However, most of them do not cause death or serious injury, and only 76 people have died from wild animal collisions in the past 35 years.

In addition, experts say that it is difficult to cause a major accident only with a bird collision as the plane is equipped with dualization for safety.

[Justin Green / Aviation lawyer: The bird crash appears to have started, but what happened to the system after the bird crash and how the pilots dealt with it will be the focus of the accident investigation.]

AFP only says more than one bird could cause serious engine failure if it enters the engine,

In particular, if the turbine engine compressor is damaged, it can malfunction or stop.

However, it is still questionable that the landing gear and wing flap did not work.

The BBC said it had never seen a landing gear not working because of a bird collision, and an expert said the engine would not immediately turn off even if the bird was sucked in, so there must have been time to deal with it.

The AP pointed out that concrete dunes installed at the end of the runway were not normal.

[David Rearmount / Aviation Specialist: Do not install rigid structures as aircraft can sometimes cross the end of the runway. But this time it happened.

Foreign media also questioned the late change of landing direction and the lack of firefighting and rescue teams in preparation for the fuselage landing.
