South Korea has ordered all airports to install bird detection cameras and radars after the Jeju Air crash that left 179 people dead. The new plans were announced as part of a nationwide special safety inspection of airports - along with a comprehensive survey of facilities that particularly attract birds. All airports will be equipped with at least one thermal imaging camera, said the Ministry of Land in a statement, adding that they aim to begin the rollout next year. Mobile sonic devices will also be implemented mainly to deal with medium and large-sized birds.

Bird detection radars will be installed at all airports to enhance early detection of distant birds and improve response capabilities for aircraft, the ministry added. The radar will detect the size of the bird and its movement paths, and this information will be relayed to air traffic controllers who, in turn, will communicate with the pilot

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
