After a South Korean airplane carrying 181 passengers exploded in ball of flames after experiencing what appeared to be a mechanical failure as it attempted to land on Sunday morning, the pressure is on airports around the world — even in Salt Lake — to work harder to prevent them.

South Korean officials are conducting an emergency safety investigation after 179 people died in the country's worst-ever plane crash on Sunday. Moments before the flight was due to land, air traffic control issued a bird strike warning - an alert about the risk of colliding with birds.
