A tragic incident unfolded at a South Korean airport on Sunday when a Jeju Air passenger plane skidded off the runway, crashed into a concrete fence, and burst into flames. The front landing gear of the 15-year-old Boeing 737-800 jet failed to deploy during landing, resulting in the devastating crash in the town of Muan, located 290 kilometers south of Seoul.
Out of the 181 individuals on board, only two crew members survived, with the remaining 179 passengers losing their lives in the fire. The majority of the passengers were South Korean nationals, along with two Thai citizens who also perished in the crash.
