Jeju Air Flight 2216. A Boeing 737-800 has crashed in South Korea at Muan International Airport.

The aircraft has landed with the landing gear retracted and smashed into a grass bank and ILS equipment at the end of the runway at unabated speed.

181 onboard. At the time of posting, 3 confirmed survivors and 29 confirmed dead. frown

Some comments on social media mention the aircraft suffered a bird strike.

The crash was filmed... https://x.com/BNONews/status/1873174704720425440

Complete landing gear failure after go around? Or did they not use gravity to drop?

This plane also had a hydraulic failure days before with a diverted landing shortly after take off.

Jesus that was still cracking on at a fair old speed, wonder if they have had to do a flapless landing.

That didn’t look to be slowing down, no spoilers deployed either from what I can see on a small phone screen.

Also looked like it was being held in a slight nose up attitude so not really allowing the full weight of the aircraft on the ground.

Time will tell.

Trying for a go around? But clearly was never going to get airborne with all that damage and drag..

I think you’re right, I’m also on a phone but thought why is nothing deployed to kill the speed.

Linked?

It's like that crash in Pakistan, just this one didn't take off again after landing on the engine cowlings. The power doesn't seem to have been reduced once on the ground, you'd expect speed to scrub off quite quickly.

Or the crew were too pre-occupied with dealing with the emergency to remember to deploy the landing gear?

No need to remember. There’s a loud, audible alarm.

That video is heartbreaking. So many people with hope just seconds from oblivion.

Awful frown

Sadly, that isn’t always sufficient when the crew are dealing with an emergency:

Originally delivered to Ryanair in 2009 and flew under registration EI-IFR and delivered to Jeju in 2017.

Apologies the recent 7700 squawk the day before appears to be medical emergency related.

But… the other evidence we see on that video suggests that the flight crew had a few issues to deal with, maybe with a common root cause, maybe not. I very much doubt they forgot to do it.

An ex pilot for the airline points out that the localizer support at the end of the runway that stopped the aircraft was made of reinforced concrete, not steel girders.

It seemed to be going at a heck of a rate still, considering that the runway is 2800m.

But maybe the aircraft didn't land at the beginning of the runway frown

I was thinking the same thing: surely 2800m of runway would have scrubbed off (literally) more speed than the video seems to show. By the way I am aware that a plane wouldn’t necessarily land at the start of the runway but it looks like this touched down at least halfway along, and at considerable speed.

Just an awful, awful thing to see.
