CNN released the names of the crew- Ho Lee Fuk, We Too Lo, and Bang Ding Ow.

And don’t forget about Cpn. Som Ting Wong

Haha yes! I thought there were four but could not remember them all. I see they are still working.

The flight data recorder retrieved from Jeju Air flight 2216, which crashed killing 179 people in December. Black boxes holding the flight data and cockpit voice recorders for the flight stopped recording four minutes before the disaster, South Korea's transport ministry said Saturday. | SOUTH KOREA MINISTRY OF LAND, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND TRANSPORT / VIA AFP-JIJI

"Authorities suspect that both engines shut down shortly before the pilot attempted an emergency landing, depriving the aircraft of almost all electrical power in its final moments before impact."

The bellyflop landing I saw on video the plane was clearly under power, I would like to also know exactly how the plane flew for 4 minutes without power, and where exactly in the flight profile it was that the recorders stopped working for the final 4 minutes.

Nothing here is making sense here including the reporting.

I was thinking about this again today - I believe it's gotta be due to the bird strike engine failure. I can't imagine the pilots willfully doing this as a suicide mission the way the events unfolded. I mean, who would get all the way to the airport, experience a bird strike, make a go around followed by the 2nd landing attempt, set the plane down so gently, only to crash it intentionally? No way. It's gotta be either air traffic poor judgement on landing strip or neither air traffic or pilot thinking they'd run out of runway or destroy the plane before the barrier wall impact. I hope they retrofit that runway and others like it immediately to remove the solid wall and replace with soft netting as other airports use.

So, the landing video we saw the engines are not operational and/or appears and sounds like they never power back on an emergency landing?

I have no way to dispute that, but also find it rather odd the plane was airborne and made a go full around without engines for 4 minutes, made a controlled landing it looked/sounded like with engines under power, contacted a hard abutment at speed, was engulfed in a nearly full plane consuming fireball and they located blood and feathers in both engines?

"Authorities suspect that both engines shut down shortly before the pilot attempted an emergency landing, depriving the aircraft of almost all electrical power in its final moments before impact."

I find that part interesting, since the 737 has about an hour of reserve battery power to keep the systems running, including hydraulics, with both engines off.

Somebody is CYA and needs to get their story straight.

Is "final moments before impact" 4 minutes?

Is "final moments before impact" 4 minutes?

I guess it depends on how many "moments" there are. The historical definition of a moment was about 90 seconds; an hour had sixty minutes or forty moments. But most people don't use that definition these days.
