Bizarre 737 crash in South Korea. Everyone dead except for 2 with serious injuries. It's all on video. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-29/passenger-plane-crashes-at-muan-airport-in-south-korea/104769164
As usual the pprune forum is the place to go for informed analysis by pilots https://www.pprune.org/accidents-close-calls/663324-jeju-737-800-crash-muan-airport-south-korea.html The short version is that the aircraft had a bird strike in one engine, attempted to land but did a go-around, then a 2nd attempt and landed quite fast but without gear or flaps down or thrust reversers. The aircraft slid almost the full length of the runway and didn't shed much speed. The consensus is that something calamitous must have been happening on the flight deck.
