Tragic Plane Crash in South Korea Claims 179 Lives

In a devastating incident, a Jeju Air flight from Bangkok, Thailand, crash-landed at Muan International Airport in South Korea, resulting in the deaths of 179 people. The Boeing 737-800, carrying 175 passengers and six crew members, skidded off the runway and burst into flames after colliding with a wall.

The crash occurred shortly after 9 a.m. local time, with initial reports suggesting that a bird strike and adverse weather conditions may have contributed to the accident. The tail section of the plane remained somewhat intact, allowing rescuers to pull two crew members from the wreckage, who are now being treated for injuries.

This tragic event marks the deadliest air accident in South Korea's history and has left the nation in mourning. Authorities are conducting a thorough investigation to determine the exact cause of the crash.
