At least 28 people were killed when an airliner went off the runway and slammed into a wall at South Korea’s Muan International Airport on Sunday, Yonhap news agency reported.
The accident occurred as Jeju Air flight 7C2216, carrying 175 passengers and six crew on a flight from the Thai capital Bangkok, was landing at the airport in the south of the country, the report said.
Two people were found alive and rescue operations were still under way, a Muan fire official said. The official could not confirm the reports of 28 dead.
Authorities were working to rescue people in the tail section, an airport official told Reuters.
Sounds like so far only two people have survived. The video footage of the crash is horrendous, the plane seems to be sliding down the runway on its belly, onto the grass at the end and slams into an embankment and just seems to disintegrate in an explosion.
