A tragic plane crash in South Korea has left over 100 dead, with rescue efforts ongoing as authorities investigate the cause of the disaster.
Rescue teams rushed to the scene, but sadly, many didn’t make it. The front landing gear didn’t deploy, which seems to have caused the plane to crash into a concrete wall. It’s a real tragedy, and the death toll might still rise as some passengers are still unaccounted for.
Emergency services worked hard, deploying tons of firefighters and even helicopters to tackle the flames. The footage is just devastating, showing thick black smoke and the plane engulfed in fire. The local fire chief mentioned that the plane was pretty much destroyed, with only the tail left recognizable.
Investigators are looking into what went wrong. They’re checking if a bird strike might have played a role since the control tower warned the pilot about birds just before landing. They’ve also retrieved the black box to figure out what happened.
The airline has expressed deep sorrow over the incident, and the CEO even bowed in apology to the families affected. Boeing is also in touch with Jeju Air to offer support.
This crash is one of the worst in South Korea’s aviation history, bringing back memories of past disasters. It’s a tough time for everyone involved, especially with the ongoing political turmoil in the country. The government is doing everything it can to assist the victims’ families and ensure a thorough investigation.
