I heard that the airport's glide slope equipment wasn't operating because of construction. Seems that the planes ground proximity system should have sounded an alert. Too much speculation atm. Probably have to wait until after the investigation to know what happened.

Not sure if it was or wasnt operating, but with the weather conditions they had at the time, they were flying VFR, so no need for the ILS to be used,

My guess is the 2 deaths are probably FAs because they usually have a seat at the back of the plane and it looks like the tail is missing. Id be knocking people out in that situation if they were worried about their luggage and stopping me from getting to safety. Check yo **** in.

Does anyone else think the woman in the back ground sounds like a complete idiot. "Oh you're filming it too", "Oh my god you're filming it" "You filmed the whole thing"

My guess she's blonde lol

Let me get this straight... you are going to Korea to have your eyes cut on by uninsured discount surgeons and the plane flight is what scares you
