<Reporter> This
is Okjeong Village in Sacheon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, near the site of the crash of a training fighter.
A day has passed, but the traces of the crash are still there.
Fighter fragments are found all over town.
Residents seem to have not escaped the shock of the accident.
[Kim Jae-gyo / Okjeong Village resident: A house fell into debris, and two cars fell and were damaged.
The residents were very surprised.]
If you check the video at the time of the accident, you can see the parachute coming down.
At first glance, it appears that the escape was successful, but all four pilots were found dead.
[Aviation field expert: It can be guessed that such a situation occurred because he had already died or was in a state of shock enough to die.]
Investigation into the circumstances of the accident is also being conducted.
The Air Force believes that one of the two fighters during flight training and one instrument flight training collided about 5 minutes after takeoff.
The Air Force began a full-scale investigation into the cause of the accident based on several possibilities.
In addition, we are continuing to understand the damage to nearby villages caused by the fall.
The Air Force prepared a burial place for the deceased, Lieutenant Jeong Jong-hyeok, Lieutenant Cha Jae-young, Flight Professor Jeon Jeon-an, and Flight Professor Lee Jang-hee.
The funeral will be held by the deputy commander, and a funeral ceremony will be held on the 4th.
