South Korean authorities raided Jeju Air’s offices and Muan International Airport following Sunday’s Boeing 737-800 crash that killed 179 people. The flight, carrying 181 passengers and crew from Thailand, belly-landed after issuing a mayday call and collided with a concrete barrier. Jeju Air CEO Kim E-bae is banned from leaving the country as investigations focus on professional negligence and runway localizer legitimacy. Inspectors are examining all Boeing 737-800s in South Korea for potential malfunctions. Families mourn victims at Muan airport, leaving heartfelt notes and offerings, while volunteers provide support. The crash is the worst aviation disaster in South Korea’s history.
