After the plane crash tragedy, the last messages and photos of the unfortunate passengers were continuously shared by netizens. Among them was a photo of the youngest victim.

On December 29, the Jeju Air plane skidded off the runway, crashed into a fence, and burst into flames at Muan Airport (South Korea), shocking the world. According to Korean authorities, the accident killed 179 people, with only two lucky survivors. The youngest victim was only 3 years old.

After the tragedy, images of the boy and his family were shared on forums, making the online community choke up. Korean media reported that Kang Ko (43 years old) - the boy's father, had planned a trip to celebrate Christmas with his wife Jin Lee Seon (37 years old) and son.

The source added that the trip to Thailand was also to celebrate the Kia Tigers baseball team, where Ko worked in the public relations department, winning the Korean Baseball League earlier this year. In particular, Ko was once honored by sports announcer Jung Woo-young in an online news report. But now, the family of three is no longer in this world.

Notably, not only the final image of the victim, but also warnings from some people believed to be former employees of Jeju Air have "heated up" again. According to Munhwa Ilbo, these posts were posted on an anonymous community for workers.

Specifically, in February, an employee who is said to have worked at Jeju Air issued a warning: "Do not fly with Jeju Air." "Engine failures are common these days. You never know when a plane might crash. The company has had maintenance, operational and financial problems. People seem to be switching to other airlines," the person shared.

Another person who claimed to be an employee of the airline revealed: "To save on maintenance costs, Jeju Air has recorded four times of engine failure during flight in one year. This is a rare serious incident in its entire history of operation."

Not only that, a maintenance technician also complained about the harsh working conditions: "We are working on dangerous planes. Maintenance technicians have to work 13-14 hours, sometimes only getting a 20-minute meal break. The workload is much higher than other airlines."

Until recently, data released from the flight tracking website Flightradar revealed many surprising information. Accordingly, the Boeing carrying 181 people had to make 13 flights within 48 hours before the accident.

When the Korean public reacted because they thought the plane had been operating beyond its capacity, Jeju Air explained: "The Boeing 737-800 can go through many takeoffs and landings, but those are not long flights." In addition, this unit also affirmed that "it did not operate the plane in a risky manner."

As reported, at around 9:07 a.m. (local time), Jeju Air flight 7C2216, departing from Bangkok (Thailand), crashed while approaching Muan International Airport. The plane, carrying a total of 181 people, including 175 passengers and 6 crew members, skidded off the runway and burst into flames after hitting a fence.

South Korean authorities suspect that a bird strike may have caused the crash during landing. However, other experts say that a single engine failure after hitting a bird is unlikely to have caused such a catastrophic outcome. They say that even if one engine failed due to a bird strike, the second engine could still be powering the landing gear, suggesting other systemic problems with the plane.
