93% of all professional accidents are caused by experts :)

When will we learn to stop trusting them blindly.

The wall apparently was the support for the instrument landing system. It also protected hotels and apartment buildings on the other side from a plane crash. How many additional people might have been killed if the wall hadn’t been there?

American airports have the same ILS antennae at the ends of the runway. But they’re on poles designed to shear away if struck by a plane, and their bases are flush with the ground.

Imagine if the NHRA used this sophisticated strategy, a nice beautiful ‘safety’ wall at the end of the dragstrip.

Looks like we need more H-1B engineering geniuses from South Korea, only the best!

So from now on all airports will have to install endless runways.

The regulations are wrong.

Another government eff-up.

Putting up a reinforced concrete wall covered in dirt is criminal. Localizers have no need for this.

Like Trump said, the two things that always work are walls and wheels.

He insisted that it was built according to regulations and that similar walls were found in other airports in South Korea.

Sounds like they know where to start dismantling.

Airport safety gurus are learning to install soft materials at the end of runways like what interstate builders do, to arrest runaway 18 wheeled tractor trailers that have lost their brakes during descent down a mountain or a steep sloped grade.

True dat’

This reminds me of the old movie “Fate is the Hunter.”
