Partner and Aviation Analyst Justin Green Featured on CNN With Host Rahel Solomon Regarding Jeju Air Flight 7c 2216 Plane Crash in South Korea
Kreindler Partner Justin Green Speaks with CNN on South Korean Jeju Airlines Crash Investigation
In a recent CNN segment, Justin Green, partner at Kreindler & Kreindler, discussed the ongoing investigation into the tragic crash of a Jeju Airlines plane in South Korea, which claimed the lives of 179 people. In the segment, Justin highlighted critical elements of the investigation, including the plane’s engines, black box data, and the mayday call made by the pilots.
A single-point failure is not supposed to happen. Aviation safety is based on redundancy; so, they have two engines, multiple hydraulic systems, backup systems.
Justin added that while a bird strike may have been an initiating factor in the crash, it is also important to understand what steps were taken after the strike, including decisions made by the pilots.
Kreindler & Kreindler is known nationally and internationally for its extensive experience representing families affected by deadly aviation accidents. Based on his firsthand knowledge of aviation accident law, Justin emphasized that under international law, Jeju Airlines “owes a responsibility to the families to compensate them for their losses.”
“One of the reasons they want to let out information early on [about the accident and investigation] is to let the whole aviation community know what’s happening,” said Justin. “I’ve lived with the families [of other accidents] through this process; they want their loved ones back with them.”
As investigations continue, Justin emphasized that it is common to uncover preliminary factors in a plane crash investigation, with the recovery of black boxes providing crucial evidence.
