Tragic news has reached us from the city of Muan in South Korea, where an early morning crash involving a passenger plane carrying 181 holiday travelers took place. The terrifying incident happened when the aircraft crashed on the airport’s runway before colliding with a wall.

The impact caused the plane to overshoot the runway, resulting in a devastating explosion as it burst into flames.

Currently, it is presumed that more than 179 passengers have tragically lost their lives, as the plane skidded off the runway. Initial investigations point to the aircraft being a Jeju Air flight, which had been traveling from Bangkok when the unexpected catastrophe occurred.

On a note of hope amid the disaster, local media outlets have reported the astounding survival of two individuals. These lucky survivors, reportedly part of the flight crew, were miraculously rescued from the wreckage.

Graphic footage has documented the heart-stopping moment when the Boeing 737-800, a plane in service for 15 years, slid along the runway. Moments later, it catastrophically crashed into a concrete barrier, setting off a towering blaze.

Officials from the country’s foreign office have released early reports suggesting that the aircraft’s landing gear may have encountered a critical failure after a bird strike. These initial speculations are yet to be confirmed, as many await further information about the dreadful accident. This horrifying crash is on its way to becoming one of the most tragic in the history of aviation in South Korea.
