The Jeju Air plane crash that claimed the lives of 179 individuals, including a three-year-old boy, has left the world in shock and mourning. The little boy, Ko Yoonwoo, was on his first overseas holiday with his parents, Jin Lee Seon and Kang Ko, when tragedy struck. Photos of the family's journey to Thailand were shared on social media just days before the accident, showcasing their excitement and happiness for their first trip abroad.
In one of the photos posted by his father, the caption reads, "The whole family's first overseas DAY 1. My son's first night flight and first stamp on his passport! We went to the zoo and even got to walk with a tiger and climb on its back." Another post shows Ko Yoonwoo proudly holding his passport at the airport, ready for his adventure. These innocent and joyful moments now bring tears to our eyes knowing the fate that awaited them.
The last photo of Ko Yoonwoo, posted just hours before the crash, shows him standing in front of a tiger enclosure with the caption, "Before and after going in the tiger den." Little did they know that this would be their last family trip and their last moments together.
The Jeju Air flight 7C2216 was coming in for a landing at Muan International Airport after departing from Bangkok when it suddenly crashed, skidding off the runway and bursting into flames. Out of the 181 people on board, only two crew members survived and are currently being treated for injuries. The rest, 179 individuals, including Ko Yoonwoo and his parents, tragically lost their lives.
This is the deadliest plane crash in South Korean history, leaving the nation and the world in shock. Families of the victims are still camped out at the airport, waiting for the return of their loved ones' bodies. Identifying the deceased has proven to be a difficult and heartbreaking task for officials.
South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok has requested that investigators provide information to the grieving families as soon as possible. However, the exact cause of the crash still remains unknown. Aviation experts are working tirelessly to determine what went wrong and to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.
As we mourn the loss of so many innocent lives, we are reminded of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment with our loved ones. Rest in peace, Ko Yoonwoo, Jin Lee Seon, and Kang Ko, and to all the victims of this tragic accident. May their memories live on in the hearts of those who loved them.
