A New York Times investigation reconstructs the December 2024 crash-landing of Jeju Air Flight 2216 after a birds strike damaged both engines; pilots, caught in the startle reflex, rushed to act rather than methodically assess, potentially misidentifying which engine to shut down, causing a total electrical failure and limited control during a final go-around and belly landing that killed 179 of 181 aboard. The tragedy is linked to regulatory gaps in bird-strike prevention at Muan Airport and data gaps from failed black boxes, prompting questions about crisis training and airport bird deterrence.
