In a devastating aviation accident at South Korea's Muan Airport, a passenger plane carrying 175 passengers and 6 flight attendants skidded off the runway and crashed into a wall. The death toll has tragically risen to 151, according to local authorities.
The South Korean Ministry of Transportation revealed that a warning about a potential bird strike had been sent to the plane before the incident. Despite this alert, the plane—identified as a Jeju Air flight originating from Bangkok, Thailand—lost control during landing. It veered off the runway and collided with the airport's perimeter fence, as reported by Yonhap News Agency.
Emergency services worked tirelessly at the crash site, but the scale of the tragedy has left the nation in shock. This incident underscores the critical challenges in ensuring safety during aircraft landings, particularly in the face of unforeseen hazards like bird strikes.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the crash.
