A plane crash at a South Korean airport on Sunday has left at least 85 people dead, The Associated Press reported. Spokespeople for Jeju Air and the National Fire Agency could not immediately be reached for comment. In a statement posted online, Jeju Air said that it was "bowing" its head in apology and that it would address the crash. The tracker says Ryanair, a budget Irish airline, operated the plane before it was delivered to Jeju Air in 2017. The plane landed "without its landing gear extended," the flight tracker said.

Rescue workers are making their way through the wreckage of Jeju Air flight 7C 2216, which crash-landed at South Korea's Muan International Airport. The aircraft was carrying 175 passengers and six crew when it crashed. Two crew members have been pulled from the wreckage, while dozens of people have been confirmed dead. It is the deadliest aviation disaster to hit South Korea since 1997, when a Korean Airlines Boeing 747 crashed in the Guam jungle, with the loss of 228 lives. Experts told CNN that the plane’s undercarriage – specifically, the wheels used for takeoff and landing – appeared not to have fully deployed before landing.
