Earlier, an Azerbaijan Airlines plane crashed in Kazakhstan on Christmas morning. It collapsed along with the passenger. 38 of the 67 passengers died. Luckily the rest survived. Not even a week passed after that incident, this time the plane crashed in South Korea. While the Kazakhstan plane crash theory has emerged, preliminary investigations suggest that the South Korean plane crashed due to mechanical problems. It is reported that the landing gear of the aircraft was not working during landing.
