A Korean investigator in Gimhae Airport is investigating the Air Busan Airbus A321 Fire Inspection in an aircraft on -site inspection, choosing to oppose fuel removal in advance.
The aircraft, which was preparing for departure to Hong Kong on January 28, caused a major damage to the torso.
According to Gimhae Airport's aerial information publications, it was docked on the International Apron Stand 55L, almost adjacent to the fire station located only 150m south.
The wings were not touched, but the aircraft tanks were equipped with a fuel of 16,300 kg (35,900 LB), which brought investigators to have a potential explosion.
Korean accident investigators conducted risk evaluation in cooperation with French counter parts and other specialized organizations, including the safety check of the fuselage and freight parcels.
It was decided not to discharge fuel, but other components such as oxygen tanks were removed, and baggage of passengers was obtained from the freight room.
As a result, the Ministry of Transportation said that on -site inspections began on February 3.
“The collected evidence was shot, catalog, classified, and visually analyzed.” This evidence is transferred to an investigative facility for identification and inspection.
“It's expected to take a long time to complete,” says the ministry.
The members of the Fire Start Investigation Committee collect statements from witnesses and collect information from CCTV videos and flight recorders, and carry out preliminary work to determine the cause of the flame.
When the investigator runs the A321 3D imaging and completed, the Air Force is covered with a tent to protect.
176 passengers and all crews escaped the fire and only had a slight injury during the evacuation.
