On Sunday (December 29), a Jeju Air flight burst into flames after skidding off a runway at Muan International Airport in South Korea and hitting a concrete wall before bursting into flames, killing almost all the passengers on board.
Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 caught on fire after landing without the correct working landing gear, resulting in one of the deadliest aviation disasters in the country’s history.
Following the crash over 1,500 emergency service workers including firefighters, police officers, and soldiers were called to the scene to look for any potential survivors while making sure the area was secured.
