• The Korean flight crashed due to mechanics, not a bird. The footage makes it clear. There are many ways to bring down the wheels. No bird collision can impede that. Another failing incident (failure) for Boeing and bad statistics for air travel towards the year's end. In Soviet Russia, Putin called bird.
