The passenger plane with 181 people onboard skidded on the runway at a high speed and slammed into a wall before exploding into flames.
Two crew members were rescued alive from the tail of the burning plane, but over the ensuing hours on Sunday, grim news trickled out to anxious relatives at Muan International Airport, in southwestern South Korea.
