29.12.2024 โข The Day Muan's Wall Became Fire
โจ
A Jeju Air flight crash at Muan International Airport dominated coverage, with death toll reports evolving from 28 in early morning to 179 by mid-day. Initial reports focused on the plane striking an airport wall, while later coverage revealed air traffic controllers had warned about bird strikes minutes before the crash. By afternoon, experts expressed doubts about the bird strike theory, describing the incident as "extremely unusual."
Evening coverage shifted to human elements, reporting on three generations of one family among the victims and a three-year-old as the youngest casualty. King Charles issued a statement of condolence.
The day concluded with former US President Jimmy Carter's death at 100, marking the end of the longest post-presidency in American history. The Times noted his transformation from "unlikely leader" to "best ex-president America ever had."
