A Jeju Air flight from Bangkok to Muan crashed at Muan International Airport, South Korea, with 179 of 181 passengers presumed killed. Minutes before the tragedy, a passenger texted, “Should I say my last words?” The Boeing 737-800 attempted a belly landing, skidding off the runway and erupting in flames. Witnesses reported explosions and thick black smoke. Investigators are probing bird strikes and weather conditions. Two survivors, likely crew members, were rescued. Thai PM Paetongtarn Shinawatra extended condolences. Jeju Air apologized, pledging full support for families as recovery operations continue and flights remain suspended.
