South Korea is in mourning following the deadliest ever aviation disaster in the country’s history. 179 people were killed Sunday when a Boeing 737-800 aircraft made a crash landing at Muan International airport, skidded off the runway and burst into flames. Only two people onboard survived. Aviation authorities are investigating the cause of the crash. Some aviation experts are suggesting bird strikes made the pilot’s first attempted landing unsuccessful, subsequently leading to human error in the pilot’s attempt to land a second time.
