A deadly Jeju Air crash in South Korea has prompted an urgent investigation into airline safety. As authorities work to identify victims, questions arise about runway design and potential safety oversights. Emergency inspections and international cooperation aim to uncover the crash's causes and prevent future tragedies.

The South Korean aviation sector is under intense scrutiny following the crash of a Jeju Air jetliner in Muan, which claimed the lives of 175 passengers and four crew members. Efforts to identify victims and determine the crash's cause are underway, causing an uproar over safety protocols.

Acting President Choi Sang-mok has ordered an immediate review of the nation's airline operations as questions mount concerning airport design and potential pilot error. Despite challenges with missing data from the 'Black Box,' authorities seek to glean insights into the tragedy.

Scrutiny now focuses on the runway's embankment, suspected to exacerbate the crash's severity. International experts, including those from the NTSB and Boeing, are collaborating to assess all angles of the disaster, highlighting the need for global safety standards adherence.
