All foreign media continue to report in real time on the Muan air disaster :: Sympathetic media Newsis ::

(Seoul = Newsis) Reporter Kim Jae-young = The online news editions of foreign media outlets on the 29th are almost entirely obsessed with the Muan Jeju Air landing failure disaster. As if possessed by something, he walked away from the scene of the Muan disaster and was unable to go anywhere else, covering it as top news.

All media outlets, whether they are telecommunications, online newspapers, the United States, the United Kingdom, or other countries, report the news of the Muan Airport disaster as if they were broadcasting it live.

At 9 hours after the accident, basic news that could be released, such as the approximate cause of the accident, was vaguely known. If there is any news, it is the number of deaths.

The news of the Jeju Air disaster is unique in that it has a somewhat absurd cause of an unfortunate encounter with a flock of migratory birds, but it is distinguished from other air disasters in that the number of deaths continues to gradually increase over time.

In the absence of any groundbreaking new news, foreign media outlets are eagerly following the official announcement of the number of deaths, which changes every few tens of minutes, in a horse racing style.

Perhaps the peak of foreign media’s breaking news on the Muan disaster was when it was officially announced that ‘all but two of the 181 passengers on board were dead’. Some foreign media outlets are already reporting news based on the domestic media’s estimate, which came out 5 hours ago.

A large-scale airplane disaster occurred on a Sunday when news was relatively rare, and because it was an exception in that the number of deaths changed by the minute, the Muan disaster almost monopolized foreign news.
