Investigators are considering the role of a bird strike in the crash. Bird strikes have not caused many plane losses, and experts say it may not be the only factor. Bird strike is being considered as a possible cause of the plane crash in South Korea which killed almost everyone on board. Some experts said of the Sunday crash that bird strike was unlikely to be the sole cause. But a bird strike is being considered as a cause, or a possible factor.

This is the first time a sitting South Korean president has faced an arrest warrant. On Monday, South Korean law enforcement officials requested the warrant. The president’s lawyer, Yoon Kab-keun, called the issuance of an arrest warrant “illegal and invalid,” while speaking to reporters Tuesday. An arrest warrant must usually be executed within seven days, but can be extended, according to the CIO. Under South Korean law, at least six out of nine justices must approve an impeachment for it to be upheld.

CNN —An Air Canada Express flight “experienced a suspected landing gear issue” after arriving at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Nova Scotia on Saturday night, though no injuries were reported, according to the airline.

The Halifax incident echoed a far more severe – and deadly – incident in South Korea on Sunday morning local time, when a Jeju Air flight crash-landed at Muan International Airport, killing 179 people. The incident will be investigated by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, which in a notice Sunday said it was deploying a team of investigators to the airport. Air Canada is waiting for the Transportation Safety Board to release the aircraft before returning customers’ belongings.

A plane crash at a South Korean airport on Sunday has left at least 85 people dead, The Associated Press reported. Spokespeople for Jeju Air and the National Fire Agency could not immediately be reached for comment. In a statement posted online, Jeju Air said that it was "bowing" its head in apology and that it would address the crash. The tracker says Ryanair, a budget Irish airline, operated the plane before it was delivered to Jeju Air in 2017. The plane landed "without its landing gear extended," the flight tracker said.

Experts told CNN that the plane’s undercarriage – specifically, the wheels used for takeoff and landing – appeared not to have fully deployed before landing.

Takeoffs and landings at South Korea’s Incheon International Airport were disrupted on Wednesday for about three hours before dawn because of balloons launched by North Korea filled with refuse, an airport spokesperson said. North Korea has flown balloons carrying trash into South Korea since late May, with hundreds landing in South Korea. The disruption to domestic and international flights occurred between 1:46 a.m. and 4:44 a.m., and the runways have re-opened since then, Incheon International Airport Corporation said. North Korea has said the balloons are retaliation for a propaganda campaign by North Korean defectors and activists in the South who regularly send over balloons carrying food, medicine, money and leaflets criticizing the North’s leaders. Among the items carried by the North Korean balloons have been articles printed with Hello Kitty characters, badly worn clothing, and soil containing traces of human feces and parasites, South Korea has said.

Seoul/ Hong Kong CNN —A 19-year-old Korean man tried to open a plane door mid-flight after complaining that he felt “pressure” on his chest, but luckily, the cabin crew stopped him. The door stayed closed and the plane was left undamaged, and none of the 180 passengers on board were harmed in the incident, the airline added. The passenger was handed over to police at Seoul’s Incheon Airport at 7:30 a.m. local after the plane landed on Monday, June 19. Police brought the man for questioning and he has so far not provided a motive for his actions, Incheon Airport Police told CNN. While the passenger’s attempt was foiled this time, the incident comes barely a month since someone actually opened a plane door on a Korean carrier.
