Search for Muan Airport Crash Victims’ Remains Suspended Due to Lack of Control Tower
▷ The re-search for victims’ remains from the Dec 29 air disaster was halted after the bereaved families association (유가족협의회) raised concerns over conflicting search methods and the absence of a centralized command.
▷ While 12 suspected remains were recovered in a small area, confusion escalated as heavy machinery was deployed near manual search zones, leading to site damage and errors in defining the search range.
▷ The families are demanding the establishment of an integrated control tower and the involvement of recovery experts to ensure a systematic and respectful search process.
