Recent reports from South Korean media, including CNN affiliate JTBC, shed light on a chilling exchange between a passenger and their friend moments before the tragic crash-landing of a Jeju Air flight. The passenger, using the Korean messaging platform KakaoTalk, informed their friend that a bird had struck the plane, causing concern about the ability to land safely.
At 9 a.m. local time on Sunday, the passenger's message read, 'Wait a minute… we can’t land because a bird (or birds) caught in our wing.' The conversation took a somber turn when the passenger contemplated leaving their last words before contact was lost.
