A tragic plane crash involving a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 at Muan International Airport in South Korea on Sunday has claimed the lives of 179 of the 181 people on board.
The aircraft skidded off the runway during landing and collided with a wall, triggering a fiery explosion.
Only two survivors, both cabin crew members, were rescued from the burning wreckage. The incident marks one of the deadliest aviation disasters in South Korea’s history.
Flight 2216 was returning from Bangkok, Thailand with six crew and 175 passengers, many of them holidaymakers.
Distraught families gathered in the airport's arrival hall in tears, as they waited for bodies to be identified.
Some of those killed have only been identifiable by their fingerprints.
Maeng Gi-su, 78, told the BBC his nephew and his nephew's two sons had been on the plane.
It was the family's first trip abroad, to mark the youngest son finishing his college entrance exams.
"I can't believe the entire family has just disappeared. My heart aches so much," he said.
