The exact cause of the Jeju Air crash remains unclear, and the investigation is complicated because the black boxes stopped recording four minutes before impact.

The first report on last month’s Jeju Air crash in South Korea confirmed traces of bird strikes in the plane's engines, though officials haven’t determined the cause of the accident that killed all but two of the 181 people on board.

The investigation into the deadliest air disaster on the country's soil remains ongoing, focusing on the role of bird strike and involving an analysis of the engines and the "localizer" landing guidance structure.
