Pilots shut off wrong engine in South Korea crash that killed 179, report finds
[Source] South Korea's Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board revealed on July 19 that the pilots of Jeju Air Flight 2216 shut down the wrong engine during an emergency after a bird strike, leading to the fatal crash on December 29, 2024. The interim findings, based on cockpit voice recordings, flight data and wreckage analysis, showed the flight crew mistakenly switched off the less-damaged left engine rather than the right engine that had suffered the bird strike. This critical error left the aircraft with reduced thrust during an emergency landing attempt near Muan International Airport. Investigators reported that shutting down the functioning engine led to the loss of key electrical and hydraulic systems needed to deploy the landing gear. As a result the aircraft made a belly landing, slid into a concrete embankment and caught fire. The crash resulted in the deaths of 179 of the 181 people on board with only two cabin crew members surviving. The interim report's release was met with criticism from some victims' families who argued it focused too much on pilot error and not enough on other possible factors such as airport safety and infrastructure. The final investigation report is expected next year and authorities have begun reviewing safety procedures at regional airports including wildlife hazard management and emergency protocols.

Plane crash in Russia's Far East kills all 48 on board, including 5 children, officials say
Moscow — Forty-eight people died in a plane crash in Russia's Far East, the head of the country's Amur region said in a statement Thursday. The An-24 passenger plane disappeared from radar as it travelled from the city of Blagoveshchensk on the Russian-Chinese border to the town of Tynda. Rescuers later found the aircraft's burning wreckage amid dense forests on a hillside south of its planned destination. Regional Gov. Vasily Orlov said that all passengers and crew on board the Siberia-based Angara Airlines aircraft were killed in the crash. He also announced three days of mourning. Local emergency services said earlier that there were five children among the 49 people on the plane, which crashed about 4,350 miles east of Moscow. Images of the reported crash site circulated by Russian state media show debris scattered among dense forest, surrounded by plumes of smoke. Russia's Interfax news agency said there were adverse weather conditions at the time of the crash, citing unnamed sources in the emergency services. Several Russian news outlets also reported that the Anatov aircraft was almost 50 years old, citing data taken from the plane's tail number. The transport prosecutor's office in the Far East said in an online statement that the plane had attempted a second approach while trying to land when contact with it was lost. The authorities have launched a probe on the charge of flight safety violations that resulted in multiple deaths, a standard procedure in aviation accidents. Aviation incidents have been frequent in Russia, especially in recent years as international sanctions have squeezed the country's aviation sector.
