179 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE PLANE CRASH

According to a report by the South Korean agency Yonhap, a plane belonging to Jeju Air airline crashed while landing at Muan International Airport in the city of Muan, located 288 kilometers southwest of the capital Seoul. The plane lost control during landing and veered off the runway, crashing into a wall surrounding the airport and exploding. It has been reported that 179 people lost their lives in the accident.

CRASHED INTO THE WALL AT THE END OF THE RUNWAY

Authorities stated that the accident was caused by a malfunction in the plane's landing gear, and that the plane, which failed to deploy its landing gear on the first attempt, crashed during a forced landing on the second attempt. Footage broadcasted on national television showed the plane attempting to land on the runway but failing to slow down and crashing into the wall at the end of the runway.

TWO CABIN CREW MEMBERS RESCUED FROM THE CRASH

Firefighters extinguished the fire on the plane, which was largely destroyed by fire, and rescued two cabin crew members. A fire department official stated that after the plane crashed into the wall, the chances of survival for the passengers were low, saying, "The plane was almost completely destroyed; it is difficult to identify the deceased. Analyzing the remains will take time."

It was recorded that among the 175 passengers and 6 crew members on the flight from Bangkok to Muan, two were Thai citizens, while the others were South Korean citizens.
