![The moment I was shocked was "5 tons".The destructive power of fear that not a single bird can handle. [Now News]](https://image.ytn.co.kr/general/jpg/2024/1229/202412292215408693_t.jpg)
The accident at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do on the 29th is believed to have occurred because the landing gear did not come down normally due to a bird collision, and the instantaneous impact was reported to be about 5 tons when the takeoff aircraft collided with a 900g mallard duck.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport explained that the landing gear, which corresponds to the wheel of the aircraft, did not come down normally due to the tidal current collision, and accordingly, it is understood that it attempted to land the fuselage.
The aircraft that attempted to land the fuselage failed to slow down until it reached the end of the runway, and the fuselage was damaged after hitting the end structure of the airport, causing the fire.
According to the Airport Corporation, there have been 623 bird collisions at domestic airports in the five and a half years from 2019 to the first half of this year.
The development of bird habitats around the airport also contributes to the influx of birds that have lost their place to go into green areas in the airport.
Collisions between birds and planes are known to occur frequently shortly after takeoff or just before landing.
When an aircraft cruises above 10,000 meters, it is high and does not collide with birds, but it is relatively likely to occur less than 2.5 kilometers above the ground immediately after takeoff or just before landing.
In fact, when a bird hits an aircraft that is rising or descending at a high speed, it gives a huge impact, and when a takeoff aircraft collides with a 900g mallard duck, the instantaneous impact reportedly reaches 4.8 tons.
In particular, aviation experts explain that if a bird is sucked into the engine, the fan blade of the engine can be broken, causing a fire, and in severe cases, it can affect the operation of landing gear, leading to a major accident.
