Aviation expert ‘shocked’ by South Korea plane crash

An aviation expert has told Sky News a poorly designed airport was the reason why a passenger jet crashed into a wall, killing 179 people.

David Learmount said many passengers would have survived the crash landing if a solid structure had not been built at the end of the runway.

The Jeju Air plane, which was carrying 181 people, veered off the runway and into a wall before bursting into flames in the South Korean city of Muan.

A bird strike and the landing gear failing to open correctly are possible causes of the crash.
