YOUNG A PLANE crash killed 179 people in South Korea's deadliest ever aviation disaster yesterday.
Two cabin crew were the only survivors after the Jeju Air flight skidded off the runway on landing then smashed into a wall and exploded at Muan International Airport. The youngest victim was a boy aged three.
A bird strike and landing gear failure are among possible causes being 수객 probed. Final messages from victims included a passenger reportedly texting a relative to say a bird was stuck in a wing. The person added: "Should I say my last words?" Flight 2216 was returning from Thailand's capital Bangkok with six crew and 175 passengers.
Distraught families were in the airport's arrival hall as they waited for bodies to be identified. Relatives screamed as names of the dead were announced.
Some victims were only identifiable by fingerprints.
