On December 29, around 9 a.m., a Jeju Air flight departing from Thailand attempted to land at Muan International Airport in South Korea. Due to an unexplained issue, the landing gear failed to deploy, forcing the aircraft to attempt a belly landing.
The plane veered off the runway, crashed into a wall, and exploded.
The aircraft had a total of 181 people on board, including the crew. Among the 175 passengers, two were Thai nationals, while the rest were South Korean.
Two crew members survived the crash, but all other passengers and crew members were confirmed dead.
(The numbers may change as the search is still ongoing.)
Fire authorities estimate all but two survivors have likely died and have shifted from rescue to recovery operations.
Another tragedy has struck South Korea, which is already facing political and currency issues.
My condolences go out to the victims of the accident...
