4 Controversy over false reports of intentional crash aimed at earning insurance money
A few days after the accident, there was a report saying, “The captain of the accident plane has a loss of about 1.5 billion won and is not enrolled in insurance 7, which would allow him to receive a total of 3 billion won.”

It had a huge impact because it could be taken as a nuance that he deliberately crashed the plane in order to get the plane.
There are also ridiculous rumors spreading, such as saying that he was going to jump with a parachute.
However, according to additional reports from other broadcasting stations, the captain in the incident was always a weak-hearted person and did not have the personality to refuse requests from close people.
He revealed that he did not have multiple insurance policies that he had signed up for and that it just happened to coincide with the timing of the accident. The captain at the time of the accident refused, saying that he already had a lot of insurance policies, but he still had to pay for more.
The insurance agent (the son of the captain’s close friend) who recommended the accident revealed that he was very sorry that the captain of the accident was misunderstood and made no sense by signing up for the insurance he recommended.
The Korea Railroad and Aviation Accident Investigation Board (KARAIB) came up with an explanation right away and made a clear statement that it had never investigated the captain’s insurance subscription or any other prohibited circumstances during the accident investigation process.
In other words, the reputation of the pilots, including the innocent captain, was greatly damaged as they fought desperately to save the cause of the accident due to the media’s exaggerated and estimated reports.
Other pilots also strongly opposed the 747 cargo plane, saying it made no sense to intentionally cause a fire since it was impossible to access the cockpit of the 747 cargo plane to the bottom cargo compartment where the fire occurred.
There was no response and the situation grew so much that even the World Civil Aviation Pilots’ Association issued a statement saying, “Don’t sell out two more pilots.”
As a result, as explained in the paragraph above, the captain and co-pilot were not found dead in the cockpit seats of the salvaged aircraft, and the accident investigation report shows that they struggled to save the airplane frame.
It appears that this is a groundless and speculative report.
Of course, the bookkeeper’s insurance subscription details are legally considered personal information, so unless there is consent from the information subject or there is no legal basis for providing personal information to a third party, it cannot be shared with a third party.
(Refer to Article 17, Article 18 of the Personal Information Protection Act) [23] Therefore, the insurance company’s notification of the captain’s insurance subscription details to the media clearly constitutes an illegal personal information leak incident.

Although the cause of the accident is not clearly known,
There was controversy because the article was written with the nuance that the captain had a debt of 1.5 billion won and committed suicide in order to receive 3 billion won in insurance money.
However, after several months of investigation, it was discovered that the fire was caused by a lithium-ion battery in the cargo compartment.
The two pilots tried to save the plane until the end, but the plane crashed into the sea and died.
I hope something like this doesn’t happen again.
