At least 177 people have died after a plane crashed while attempting to land at an airport in South Korea. Two survivors were rescued from the wreckage and taken to the hospital.
The Boeing 737-800, operated by Jeju Air, was carrying 181 people, including six flight crew members, and was arriving at Muan Airport from Bangkok, Thailand.
Family members of the victims are gathering at the airport as authorities continue their search of the crash site.
Online footage seems to show the plane veering off the runway and crashing into a wall before erupting in flames.
The cause of the crash has not been confirmed, but the fire department suggests a possible collision with birds and adverse weather conditions may have contributed.
