A major investigation was underway on Monday after 179 people were killed in South Korea's deadliest plane crash ever when an airliner belly-landed at Muan International Airport Sunday before skidding into a wall and bursting into flames.
Questions remain around exactly what caused Jeju Air Flight 2216 to crash — and why the death toll was so high, with just two survivors.
Jeju Air Flight 2216 took off from Bangkok shortly after 2 a.m. local time (2 p.m.
Grieving family members of those killed in the crash have gathered at Muan airport demanding answers on what happened to their loved ones and to see their bodies.
Other operators include T’way Air, Jin Air, Eastar Jet, Air Incheon and Korean Air.
