Following a tragic plane crash involving a Jeju Air aircraft in South Korea, two survivors have been confirmed. The survivors, identified as a male and a female crew member, were rescued from the tail section of the plane, which was the only part that retained some of its shape, according to Muan fire chief Lee Jung-hyun.

The survivors are currently receiving medical treatment at a nearby hospital. The fire chief described the scene, stating that 'Only the tail part retains a little bit of shape, and the rest of the plane looks almost impossible to recognize.'
