South Korean Police Raid Offices Linked to Deadly Plane Crash

There were just two survivors of the Jeju Air flight. The Boeing 737-800 jet skidded off the runway, slammed into a concrete-reinforced embankment and erupted into flames.

The crash at Muan International Airport, located in the country's southwest, represented one of the worst aviation disasters in years.

Roughly 30 investigators on Thursday collected evidence from Jeju Air's office in Seoul, as well as the Muan airport and its regional aviation administration office.

No individual has been charged at this time, police said. Under South Korean law, professional or gross negligence that results in death can carry punishment of up to five years in prison.
