Jeju Air Muan Crash Anniversary 2025: Families Demand Accountability
According to Reuters, the official government-led inquiry report is currently on hold, leaving relatives in a state of agonizing uncertainty. The families describe the current investigation as flawed and lack clear accountability. They're pushing for a separate, independent probe to ensure that the errors leading to the charred remains of the jet are fully understood and exposed.
The crash happened as the Jeju Air passenger jet attempted to land, resulting in one of the deadliest aviation incidents in recent South Korean history. As the nation marks the first anniversary, the pressure on the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is mounting. Experts suggest that the delay in releasing the report might stem from complex technical findings or potential institutional liabilities that have yet to be resolved.
