SEOUL: Authorities are still investigating what caused the deadliest flight catastrophe on South Korean soil, and a preliminary assessment released Monday said that both engines of the Jeju flight plane that crashed last month contained duck remains.
A month after the incident, South Korean officials published a six-page report claiming that DNA from Baikal Teals, a migratory duck species that travels in large flocks to South Korea for the winter, was found in both engines of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
But the assessment didn’t offer any preliminary conclusions regarding why flight data recorders ceased recording in the last four minutes of the flight or what might have caused the plane to land without its landing gear deployed.
