Let's be happy that it was only cargo, not 200+ passengers being dead.

Dozens of Korean students died in a ferry accident for the same reason: orders from superiors cannot be questioned. It's part of the culture.

Age hierarchy is a huge problem in Asian countries. Socially it's good but when it comes to work, it turns into a toxic situation.

I've been fired more than once for making suggestions to an employer. In Canada. This is not exclusive to Korean culture.

I was driving on the M11 at the time and the fireball was like something out of a movie. I had the sinking feeling of many people had lost there lives thinking it was a passenger plane. Terrible

Im a physician. I always always always listen to my staff, and the patient, and I keep humility in mind because when you become arrogant and stop listening is when people can get hurt.

That Korean social hierarchy never stopped. I am not Korean, but when working with a Korean who has 1 year seniority always gave me a very bad experience. He always thought he was the only right guy and left no room for improvement.

Oh my God... The seniority culture in Korea is really toxic. It's everywhere from schools to the entertainment industry and even the workplace, as we can see from what happened to this pilot.

Damn lucky that crew weren’t flying a passenger liner with hundreds of passengers on board.

I love that the actor of the pilot was also the actor for JAL123
