Bird feathers have been found in the engine of a South Korean passenger jet that crashed, killing 179 people.<\/p>\n

Jeju Air 7C2216, a Boeing 737-800 jet, was flying from the Thai capital of Bangkok to Muan, South Korea, on 29 December when it crash-landed, skidding off the runway into a wall and exploding into flames.<\/p>\n

Of the 175 passengers and six crew members on board, only two crew survived and were pulled from the wreckage.<\/p>\n

Park Sang-woo, South Korea’s transport minister, plans to resign, saying: “I feel heavy responsibility for this disaster.”<\/p>\n

He added he would try to find the right time to resign after addressing the current situation.<\/p>\n

Lead investigator Lee Seung-yeol said feathers were found in one of the engines recovered from the crash scene.<\/p>\n

He added that video footage showed there was a bird strike on one of the engines.<\/p>\n

Police are also investigating how the airfield wall the plane hit was constructed.<\/p>\n

Last week officers raided Jeju Air and the operator of Muan International Airport.<\/p>\n

On Monday, two investigators left for the US to recover and analyse a flight data recorder which was damaged during the crash.<\/p>\n

The device, and a cockpit voice recorder, are the two black boxes that contain key information about the crash.<\/p>\n

Mr Lee said it would take three days to extract the data and another two to conduct a preliminary analysis.<\/p>\n

While authorities previously said they suspected a bird strike may have played a role in the crash, it has not yet been confirmed why the landing gear wasn’t deployed, or what led to the crash landing.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
