Dozens killed in South Korea plane accident, two people survive.

On a Sunday morning, a tragic incident occurred at Muan International Airport in South Korea. A passenger jet, operated by Jeju Air and carrying 181 people, went off the runway and burst into flames. The airport, located in Muan County, about 288 kilometers southwest of Seoul, was filled with chaos and sorrow as the news of the accident spread.

According to reports from Yonhap news agency, the accident happened at 9:07 a.m. when the plane was attempting to land. It veered off the runway and collided with a fence wall, causing a massive explosion. The authorities confirmed that 62 people lost their lives in the accident and they fear that the death toll may rise even higher. Only one passenger and one crew member were able to be rescued.

The majority of the passengers on the flight were Korean nationals, with the exception of two Thai citizens. It was a flight returning from Bangkok, and little did anyone know that it would end in such a horrific way. Videos from local TV stations showed the plane attempting to land without its landing gear deployed. The plane skidded along the ground before crashing into a concrete wall and exploding into flames. The force of the explosion was so strong that it almost completely destroyed the plane.

Thankfully, the fire has been extinguished, and search and rescue operations are currently underway at the crash site. Close to 80 firefighters have been deployed to assist in the rescue efforts. Initial investigations suggest that the landing gear may have failed due to a possible bird strike, but officials are still trying to determine the exact cause of the accident.

The acting President, Choi Sang-mok, has instructed all officials to do everything in their power to support the rescue operations. He himself is on his way to the accident site to assess the situation and provide any necessary aid. An emergency meeting of senior officials has been called for by the presidential office at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the government's response to the tragedy. The meeting, presided over by Presidential Chief of Staff Chung Jin-suk, will aim to provide swift and effective support to all those affected.

The Acting National Police Agency Commissioner-General, Lee Ho-young, has also ordered all available resources to be mobilized and to work together with firefighting and other related agencies to aid in the rescue efforts. The entire nation is in mourning for the lives lost in this tragic accident and will continue to stand together in support of the victims and their families.
