IN one of the worst aviation disasters in recent times, all but two of 181 people on board a passenger flight were killed after it skidded off the runway while landing at South Korea's Muan international airport on Sunday and burst into flames.
Horrific visuals of the accident showed the plane skidding across the airstrip at high speed after its landing gear failed to deploy, overshooting the runway, ramming a concrete wall, and exploding.
The Korean transport ministry said the Jeju Air plane was a 15-year-old Boeing 737-800 jet that had arrived from Bangkok and landed at Muan, 290 km south of Seoul, around 9 am.
South Korean officials said the airport control tower had issued a bird strike warning to the plane shortly before it intended to land.
The pilot reportedly sent out a distress signal shortly before the plane touched down without using its wheels or any other landing gear.
The flight had 175 passengers and six crew members on board.
