Tengrinews.kz - A Jeju Air passenger plane crashed while landing at Muan International Airport in South Korea, killing 122 people, according to Yonhap.
The incident occurred at 9:07 A.M. local time (5:07 A.M. Astana time) when the flight from Bangkok overshot the runway and collided with a barrier.
The plane was carrying 181 people, including six crew members. Most passengers were South Korean nationals, except for two Thai citizens.
Reports indicate that 122 people have died, with the death toll expected to rise. So far, only two survivors have been confirmed: one crew member and one passenger.
