Canada, the Netherlands, South Korea... In the past few days, multiple global aircraft accidents have occurred one after another. On the evening of the 28th local time, a Canadian DHC Dash8-400 aircraft encountered a "suspected landing gear issue" while landing at Halifax Airport, causing some of the fuselage to catch fire. The airport is temporarily closed. The crew and 73 passengers are unharmed. On the evening of the 28th local time, a Boeing 737-800 passenger plane in the Netherlands encountered a hydraulic system failure shortly after takeoff and made an emergency landing at Top Airport in Norway. Rescue personnel quickly rushed to the scene for disposal, fortunately, all 182 people on board were not injured. In contrast, passengers on Jeju Air in South Korea are not so lucky. On the morning of the 29th local time, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft veered off the runway during landing at Woan Airport in South Korea, collided with the airport walls, and caught fire. Except for 2 flight attendants who were rescued, all 179 people died. This is one of the most serious air accidents in South Korean history. Just one day later, another Jeju Airlines aircraft of the same model experienced an abnormality due to landing gear failure and turned back shortly after takeoff, ultimately successfully landing. Among several accidents, the South Korean plane crashed into a wall and caught fire, which was particularly noteworthy. According to preliminary speculation, the cause of the accident is suspected to have been a collision between the plane and a flock of birds during landing, with the landing gear not properly lowered and ultimately colliding with the airport building, causing an explosion and fire. This has drawn the attention of many netizens to the risk of bird strikes. According to statistics from the International Civil Aviation Organization, there are over 20000 bird to plane collisions worldwide every year, making it one of the most dangerous factors threatening aviation safety. But precisely because of this, humans have developed many effective coping strategies. Although there are many bird strike incidents at present, bird strikes on airplanes rarely directly lead to such tragic flight accidents and significant casualties. As pointed out by numerous aviation experts, the collision of a flying bird may have caused a malfunction in the right engine of the crashed aircraft, but this malfunction generally does not have such a fatal impact. What kind of danger did the plane encounter in this accident? Is the pilot's response to suspected bird strikes or landing gear malfunctions appropriate? A series of questions still need to be answered. According to the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the accident investigation committee has currently recovered two "black boxes" of the aircraft and plans to analyze them before further releasing relevant information. While mourning for the victims, people should also remain rational and wait for the investigation results to be announced. This series of events has once again aroused widespread public attention to aviation safety. According to the famous Hayne's Law, "behind every serious accident, there must be 29 minor accidents, 300 near misses, and 1000 hidden dangers. Therefore, while dealing with the accident itself, it is also necessary to promptly investigate and handle the "accident symptoms" and "accident signs" of similar problems: Landing gear failure is one of the common mechanical failures. Is the airline's daily maintenance in place? Is the training system for crew members complete? Is the airport runway setup reasonable and responsive? Have regulatory authorities conducted strict reviews and regular inspections? Another noteworthy detail is that in the consecutive aircraft accidents, except for the DHC aircraft produced by De Havilland, Canada, all others were directed towards the same company's products, namely Boeing. In recent years, there have been continuous negative news about Boeing, with multiple models of aircraft experiencing safety accidents. In early January of this year, a Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by South Korean airline DeWei Airlines also caught fire in its right engine due to a bird strike before landing at Incheon Airport. In January of the same year, the door plug of Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX9 burst, causing uncontrolled decompression. The US Senate Standing Committee on Investigations has found that Boeing workers are forced to prioritize speed over quality when working. CNN hit the nail on the head: Boeing has shifted its focus to financial performance over the past few decades, sacrificing the safety and quality of its aircraft. The South Korean plane crashed into a wall and caught fire, further causing Boeing to be in big trouble, 'going from bad to worse'. Every aviation accident is a constant alarm bell and an opportunity for reflection. Is the aviation industry paying enough attention to safety and security in the pursuit of maximizing profits? International aviation organizations and governments of various countries must take this as a warning and adopt stricter measures to strengthen the supervision of airlines and airport operations, especially in the field of low-cost airlines. In addition, aircraft manufacturers must also take on greater safety responsibilities. Only through profound reflection and collaborative improvement by all parties can we build a solid defense line for aviation safety, ensure the safety of every flight, and restore public confidence in air travel.
