A commercial aircraft carrying 181 people burst into flames after skidding off the runway in South Korea, killing at least 120 people.
The Jeju Air flight slammed into a concrete fence after its front landing gear apparently failed to deploy, the Associated Press noted.
The tragedy occurred at Muan International Airport in Muan County, South Jeolla Province, roughly 180 miles south of Seoul.
“The Transport Ministry identified the plane as a 15-year-old Boeing 737-800 jet and said the crash happened at 9:03 a.m. local time,” the Associated Press noted.
Jeju Air flight 7C 2216 was flying from Bangkok.
