Bird strike linked to deadly South Korea plane crash; 179 fatalities; inquiry focus on bird strike, runway barriers.

Investigators have identified a bird strike as a contributing factor in the crash of a passenger plane in South Korea, which resulted in the deaths of 179 people in December.

Feathers and blood stains from a Baikal teal were found on the engines of the Jeju Air Boeing 737-800, according to a preliminary investigation report released on Monday.

The crash investigation will now examine the impact of the bird strike alongside a concrete structure located at the end of the runway that the aircraft collided with.

The plane had taken off from Bangkok and was en route to Muan International Airport on 29 December. Three minutes after establishing contact with the control tower, the crew was warned about “bird activity.”

Shortly after, the pilot confirmed a bird strike and issued a mayday. The aircraft attempted an emergency landing but overran the runway and crashed into a concrete navigation system, which exploded on impact.

The report noted that the flight data and cockpit voice recorders stopped working about four minutes before the crash.

Experts suggest the concrete barriers may have exacerbated the disaster, raising concerns about runway safety.

Following this incident, South Korea’s transport ministry has announced plans to modify the concrete barriers at seven airports nationwide to enhance safety measures.

The preliminary findings have been shared with international aviation authorities, including the United Nations, the US, France, and Thailand.

Iran buries nuclear site entrances amid rising tensions with the U.S.

Published

Satellite images reveal that Iran has buried all three tunnel entrances at its Isfahan nuclear complex. Analysts say the move mirrors defensive preparations taken before U.S. airstrikes devastated the facility last year, with no vehicle or personnel activity visible around the entrances.

The burial appears aimed at limiting damage from potential airstrikes and complicating any ground raid targeting enriched uranium stored in the underground facility. Experts suggest equipment or materials may have been moved into the tunnels for protection, though this remains unconfirmed.

The fortification comes amid ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions. President Trump has demanded Iran curb its nuclear program, warning of military action, while Tehran insists halting uranium enrichment is unacceptable. Recent indirect talks in Oman showed little progress toward a new deal.

Trump hints at military pressure as U.S. and Iran resume nuclear talks

US-Iran restart nuclear talks in Oman amid cautious optimism, while Trump considers military escalation and Israel demands stricter missile terms.

The United States and Iran have returned to the negotiating table in Oman, marking a fresh attempt to ease escalating nuclear tensions between the two long-time rivals. President Donald Trump described the talks as promising, suggesting momentum toward further discussions.

Iran’s Foreign Minister echoed cautious optimism, calling the meetings a positive first step while acknowledging deep-seated trust issues remain unresolved. At the heart of the talks is a major sticking point — the White House’s insistence that Iran dismantle its nuclear capability entirely.

Iran, however, maintains it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium, setting the stage for difficult negotiations ahead as both sides test whether diplomacy can hold.
