The wall was absolutely the reason everyone died. I saw no RESA or EMAS in the posted video of the crash.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
For those, like me, ignorant of that jargon:
RESA
A runway safety area (RSA) or runway end safety area (RESA, if at the end of the runway) is defined as "the surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway."
EMAS
An engineered materials arrestor system, engineered materials arresting system (EMAS), or arrester bed is a bed of engineered materials built at the end of a runway to reduce the severity of the consequences of an aircraft running off the end of a runway.
From the article:
The International Civil Aviation Organization recommends a standard buffer zone of about 180 to 300 meters, or 591 feet to 984 feet, from the end of the runway. At Muan airport, the concrete structure surrounded by a mound of dirt sits roughly 250 meters from the end of the runway, according to local officials.
So it's not out of the usual range for distance, but the presence of an unbreakable barrier was a problem.
I think it was the approach they took. Has they flown along the wall, everything would have been just fine.
They're using it wrong.
You don't see skaters ramming their boards onto walls at full speed.... Nah, they slide along the wall on the top. See? That's what they got wrong. Or Maybe add a little ramp so the planes can "take off"... You know what I mean? A little "wake me up" ramp. In case the pilots forgot to pull up, the ramp will do that for them.
It probably had those little metal outsets to prevent sliding.
Shit! You know, the guy who invented those things went to my university. Well, it's not my university, I mean I went to the same university he did. He's going to hell for that invention. I'm sure of it. He just wanted to punish skaters by removing their teeth. But he created the perfect airplane recycling crusher instead.
They flew down the runway..
What about a big ass garage door? Like if you know you'll be overshooting the runway, just press the button and it will open excruciatingly slowly. You still get the great American movie special effects, cuz the wings won't fit in time. But you save everyone with only small bruises and concussions. Like for me, I rather have a concussion and have my entire family realize what a piece of shit flying really is, than you know, nothing. Nothing is easy, but then its nothing so that's the end unless you gotta friend who wants to sue. But maybe the easiest way would be to not build a wall at the end of a runway? Imagine every take off..... We're not gonna make it! Steady! Captain! We need more power! I'm giving it all she's got! Punch it! Goddam! I said punch it!....by god we made it Franky! We made it! Set a course for Ohio!
