Wrong engine shut before Jeju Air crash, source says

From Reuters.

The South Korea-led investigation into Jeju Air’s fatal plane crash in December has "clear evidence" that pilots shut off the less-damaged engine after a bird strike, a source with knowledge of the probe said.

The source said the evidence, including the cockpit voice recorder, computer data and a physical engine switch found in the wreckage, showed pilots shut off the left engine instead of the right engine when taking emergency steps after a bird strike just before the plane was scheduled to land in Muan, South Korea.

The crash killed all but two of the 181 passengers and crew members on board. Gavino Garay explains. 🔗 Head to our link in bio for the full story.
