# Yesterday’s plane crash at a South Korean airport is described as the country’s worst domestic civil aviation disaster. Hundred-and-79 people were reportedly killed when the Jeju Air plane overshot the runway at landing from Bangkok in Thailand. It crashed into a wall and burst into flames. Two crew members were pulled out of the wreckage alive. Most of the 175 passengers and six crew were South Korean citizens. The crash is ascribed to a bird strike or failing landing gear.
