More news on the investigation into this crash. Two quotes - "South Korean police have raided the headquarters of the transport ministry as questions mount over the authorities' handling of the country's deadliest aviation disaster. & The incident has since triggered multiple probes, with the latest one ordered by President Lee Jae Myung on Thursday after investigators recently discovered more body parts and victims' belongings.".

The whole thing seems to becoming rather untidy...

We have see untidy reports across many parts of Asia. You sort of just never expect any final conclusion to ever come out.

So the whole thing was completely avoidable. They could have used cheap plaster like how we Aussies build dodgy buildings, or hire an excavator. Instead, the whole plane died.

And worse, WTF is this hiding victims body parts? That's just next level wrong, in a society where respect is above everything else.

The berm was no doubt a bad idea, but reflected a non-flat runway (also a bad idea) and while it may not have done as much damage, this aircraft was way out of control and the bigger fence or ditch beyond that would also have been catastrophic.

Like a plane running into a mountain. Sure things might have been better had that specific mountain not been there but a lot has also gone wrong beforehand.

It seems like the investigation report is saying that no one would have died if that wall wasn't there?

It is a flat runway for the most part (0.2 degree slope) except for a 1 degree slope down for the last 250metres or so at the Berm end

1 degree over 250m horizontal gives a vertical rise of 4.3m which is apparently in the ball park of the height of the Berm

In comparison MEL 16/34 runway has a 0.9 degree sloping down from north to south. <1 deg is acceptable.

SYD is not flat either with a "hump" in the middle. The hump is 2.3M above the runway thresholds.
