Grieving relatives of the victims of the recent South Korea plane crash gathered at the crash site on New Year's Day to pay their respects to their loved ones. The tragic incident involved a Boeing 737-800 operated by Jeju Air, which crashed at Muan International Airport in southern South Korea, resulting in the loss of all but two of the 181 passengers and crew on board.
Video footage of the crash showed the aircraft landing without its landing gear deployed, skidding off the runway, and bursting into flames upon impact. Investigators revealed that the plane was experiencing both an engine problem and a landing gear malfunction. Prior to the crash, the pilot had received a warning from air traffic controllers about possible bird strikes and had issued a distress signal.
