complete hydraulics failure then they were flaps zero.
Didn't see flaps down either but FYI, alternate flap extension is electrical...no need for hydraulics.

Boeing isn’t the only manufacturer that has accidents
In reality, there is no comparison between the two events. One was a natural occurrence and the pilot was able to save everyone.
The other MAY have started as a natural occurrence, but landing gear failing this badly is either pilot error or a manufacturer issue.

Thanks for proving my point

Looks like they lost the ability to lower the gear for landing and landed going very fast which suggests hydraulic failure.
Alternate gear extension is a gravity drop. No need for hydraulics to extend the gear. A bird strike could have damaged the nose gear doors in such a way to prevent the extension. The main gear on the 737 doesn't have doors.

But as another poster stated, only to 15-degrees. I’m not well-versed on flap speed range for 15-degrees but it seems as if it wasn’t enough to really slow them down.

I think we should take Occam's Razor to heart when discussing Korean airlines and Korean pilots. Korean's are the God's of CFIT. They possess an unholy talent for destroying perfectly fine aircraft.

People got mad when I said Asian pilot error.

Ohh sure, sureee.
The one that went down over Kazakhstan was a “bird strike” as well.

That air Canada (regional affiliate not AC) aircraft is a Dash 8, they’ve had landing gear problems since they came off the assembly line.

Air Canada flight 2259 lands with broken landing gear mere hours after a BOEING 737 crashes in South Korea
ACA2259 is a *checks notes*

How can this be???

For the 737-800 flaps 15 airspeed limit is 200kts. Compare that to 162kts for flaps 40 and 250kts for flaps 1.

How slow could they have theoretically flown that approach with flaps 15?

Very similar situation with this plane crash. Belly land after a go around with only 2 survivors

Are those bottom range numbers?
Upper limit. Slowest speed is the stall speed.

A lot going on here. Gonna wait for blancolirio’s take.
