It seems that the onus of the crash and ongoing investigation is now centered on the Muan Airport, the Airline and its leaders and the wall. Nothing is wrong with the plane landing without its landing gear not functioning. Boeing is another too big to fail USA company and cannot be targeted. The fact is that if the crash is proven to be a fault of the plane's landing gear, compensation is going to be costly. I do not know whether there are limits to that, but reputation wise it is going to cost Boeing dearly in its floundering reputation.
Now this is not the only occasion that Boeing landing gears have malfunctioned. That belly landing in Torp Airport, Norway was also because of the same landing gear malfunctioning. There was no bird strike damaging the landing gears to blame on. What is the explanation? And this is not the only other incident. Not long ago, a plane tire flew off a Boeing plane after take-off at Los Angeles International Airport. And they kept claiming that China is making junks. What about Boeing?
With one of the plane's black boxes sent to the USA for squeezing out information, how far can we be certain they are upfront? Will the information be sanitized to save Boeing's reputation? You bet!
There is an ongoing outcry from travelers that tells the whole story - 'If it is Boeing, I am not going'. That had better be the motto of the flying public. It is their life that they are gambling with.

PS. They took more than a week to transcribe the cockpit conversation between pilot and Tower. Can you believe that? The conversation would also be recorded by the Tower and easily available. It was only a few minutes conversation and spoken in English or Korean, not in alien language. What are they hiding or trying to hide? Transcribing the Tower recording would not take more than half an hour. And they refuse to release the conversation between pilot and Tower.

They need time to sanitized it, making sure it does not demonize Boeing's fault pertaining to the landing gear failure.
