Extremely unlikely considering the speed of the aircraft at the time of bird impact, and the fact the cockpit door is locked & it would take some time from others to enter it.
To me this seems more like pilots mishandling the situation after an engine failure caused by bird strike...
- trollied 2y agoThe previous worst Korean air disaster was mostly caused by crew communication failures. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Flight_801 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_Air_Flight_801 I'll add that I'm not saying that is a factor in this at all - the accident report will do that in time.
- wbkang 2y agoThis is from more than 25 years ago, there has been big changes since then.
- tedd4u 2y agoI'm glad to hear there have been big changes. However, there is a more recent accident associated with a Korean operator: Asiana flight 214 crash at SFO in 2013. The NTSB identified poor crew communication and crew resource management as important factors. Reuters and AFP reported negative repetitional impact to Korean air carriers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiana_Airlines_Flight_214 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiana_Airlines_Flight_214
