There’s a lot that Beeb is not reporting.

What’s South Korea hiding?

And why is the Beeb shilling for whomever is hiding it?

Is there evidence that one,or both,engines were malfunctioning...or shut down? And why was the landing gear up? Hopefully the black boxes will show exactly what happened.

I also hope that the evidence shows that Boeing wasn't to blame.IIRC that's what Korean officials were saying at one point.

“Authorities earlier said that flight data and cockpit voice recorders from the plane stopped recording about four minutes before the disaster.”
**********************************

Really? My understanding is that this would be VERY unusual. And no mention of the pilots failing to lower the landing gear despite the fact that it could be done manually if necessary.

Why can’t jet planes put some kind of
a mesh screen over the intakes?

Who in their right mind would build a concrete wall at end of a runway, to suddenly stop runaway aircraft with failed landing gear?

On many steep roads they have sand filled exits for runaway trucks with failing brakes. Why there was no such facility when a concrete wall was built to suddenly end the runway?

This was as stupid as the nuclear power plant in Japan where they had placed cooling fluid circulating pumps on top of the reactors. When the nuclear reactor has a meltdown, the pumps get melted down first! That is the problem with engineers. Any one can design anything. In medical field no one can prescribe a simple aspirin without a MD degree.

Everyone would probably have survived if there wasn’t a concrete wall.

Saw a video that speculated smoke in the cabin after the bird strike.

The non deployment of the landing gear is a wtf moment

Were they on their final approach when the strike occurred? If so, why not just complete the landing? The go-around positioned the wall at the end of the runway. Had they just come in as originally planned, they would have flown over the wall.

Both engines? Sounds like bird strike Part Deux.
