Heartbreaking Farewell: A Heart-Wrenching Message
There was a man who showed up and told of the last message of heartbreaking farewell he had from his loved one who boarded the fateful flight. The message, which he sent via KakaoTalk at 9 am, was: “A bird struck the wing, and we can’t land.” He followed it with an alarming question: “Should I say my last words?”

The recipient, seized with fear, asked for clarification, saying how long the situation had been going on. The passenger answered promptly, verifying the worst of the news: “Just now. Should I make a will?” The plane skidded off the runway and into the airport fence in a fiery crash.

Heartbreaking Farewell: Investigation of the Cause
A video of the crash has since emerged, capturing the horrific scene of the plane losing control during a landing.
Preliminary findings indicate that a bird strike severely damaged the wing and probably compromised the landing gear of the aircraft. Footage captures a bird striking the wing of the plane right before the crash, with visible flames and rendering the systems inoperable for a successful landing.

The inability of the aircraft to retract its wheels during landing has been cited as a critical factor in the accident. Structural damage or disruption to a critical system from the bird strike may have precipitated the catastrophic failure of the aircraft as it veered off the runway.

This disaster serves as a grim reminder of the weaknesses in air travel, particularly with incidents such as bird strikes that are unpredictable. The authorities are now bent on investigating the cause and putting measures in place to avoid such accidents in the future.

As the nation mourns, the final words of “Should I say my last words?” ring out, a somber echo of the lives lost in the Jeju Air tragedy.
