At least 28 dead in fiery aircraft crash in South Korea
A commercial flight carrying 175 passengers skidded off a runway at an airport in South Korea and burst in to a massive fireball, killing at least 28 people in a horrifying aviation disaster, according to reports.Â
The Jeju Air plane was arriving from Thailand at Muan International Airport in the south of the Asian nation on Sunday morning when it belly flopped onto the runway with no landing gear and slid out of control, according to media reports and video of the incident. .
Two people have been found alive — with first responders putting an emphasis on rescuing those that were located in the tail of the plane, according to the outlet.
Rescue missions are ongoing. In addition to the 175 passengers, six crew were on the jet.
Jarring video posted on X shows the crash as it happens — the plane seeming to land on its belly, sparks and smoke flying from the runway, before it crashes and explodes in a fiery mass.
