This was a dramatic moment. The Jeju plane carrying 181 people crash-landed and burst
00:06
into a ball of flames. So far, two people have been pulled out alive, but over 100 have
00:12
been killed.
00:13
Officials said the landing gear of the Boeing 737 arriving from Bangkok appeared to have
00:19
malfunctioned. Local media reported it may have been caused by birds getting into the
00:22
plane's system, combined with adverse weather conditions. They promise a thorough investigation
00:28
and rescue operation.
00:31
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is currently operating the Central Accident
00:36
Response Headquarters and plans to do its utmost to minimize casualties.
00:41
Later, we will discuss the situation and the cause through additional briefings after consulting
00:46
with the relevant organizations.
00:53
The airline's CEO has paid tributes to those who lost their lives.
00:59
Above all, I would like to express my deepest condolences and apologies to the passengers
01:06
and their families whose relatives lost lives in this accident. Regardless of the cause
01:13
of the accident, I feel responsible as the CEO.
01:18
We, Jeju Air, will do our best to quickly resolve the accident and support the families
01:24
of the passengers.
01:30
The crash is one of the deadliest seen in South Korea. It is the first big test for
01:34
acting President Choi Sung-mook, who was named interim leader of the country on Friday.
