According to Amac News: Jeju Air company plane, which was returning from Thailand, went off the runway and was destroyed at Moan International Airport in South Korea.
So far, two people have survived the accident, one of them was a passenger and the other was a crew member. The fire department has assumed that most of the passengers of this flight have lost their lives.
The spokesman of the airline company announced that the downed plane was a "Boeing 737-800" and the Ministry of Transportation is investigating the cause of the accident. According to the fire department, the cause of the accident was the collision of the plane with birds and adverse weather conditions.
Images released of the moment the plane left the runway and crashed into a concrete fence show thick plumes of black smoke rising from the plane amid flames.
Despite several air accidents this year (2024) due to various reasons, experts emphasize that air accidents are relatively rare and less than road accidents.
