South Korea experienced its deadliest air disaster on Sunday when a plane crash at Muan International Airport killed 179 people. The Jeju Air flight, arriving from Bangkok, skidded off the runway and erupted into flames upon striking a wall.

The crash, involving a Boeing 737-800, marks the worst aviation accident on South Korean soil in nearly three decades, as stated by the transport ministry.

The incident occurred just after 9 a.m., with the plane carrying 175 passengers and six crew members. Only two crew members survived, now receiving treatment for serious injuries.
