Eyewitness footage obtained by Reuters on Sunday (December 29) showed the moment a Jeju Air plane crashed at Muan International Airport in South Korea, killing 62 people.
As the plane touched down on the tarmac, it appeared to land without its landing gear deployed. The aircraft skidded down the runway and veered off before slamming into a wall and erupting into a fireball.
The crash on Sunday occured as Jeju Air flight 7C2216, carrying 175 passengers and six crew members, on a flight from the Thai capital of Bangkok, was landing shorty after 9 a.m. (0000 GMT) at the airport in the country’s south, South Korea’s transport ministry said.
At least 58 bodies have been recovered but that number is not final, another fire official told Reuters. Two people were found alive and rescue operations were under way, a Muan fire official said. Yonhap news agency said three people had been rescued.
Authorities were working to rescue people in the tail section, an airport official told Reuters shortly after the crash.
