Here is the moment of the tragic accident in South Korea...
Footage of the tragic accident in South Korea, where a plane crashed on the runway during landing, is published. As can be seen from the footage, the plane failed to lower its tires and as a result collided with a wall at the end of the runway, bursting into flames. Currently, it is reported that the number of victims has reached 124.
Emergency workers extricated two crew members from the Boeing 737-800, which was carrying 181 people and was returning from the Thai capital, Bangkok. All other missing persons are presumed dead, according to fire authorities.
Most of the passengers aboard the Jeju Air plane were vacationers returning from a five-day Christmas tour in Bangkok, according to South Korean news agency Newsis.
Authorities are now trying to confirm the identities of the victims using the passenger manifest with the plane's landing positions.
Witnesses reported hearing a "loud bang" and seeing sparks from the plane's engine before it crashed.
Yoo Jae-yong, 41, who was standing near the airport, said he saw a spark on the right wing of the plane before the crash and told South Korea's Yonhap news agency: "I told my family there was a problem with the plane when I heard a loud explosion."
Another witness said he "saw a flash of light" as the plane came in to land and added: "Then there was a loud bang followed by smoke in the air and then I heard a series of explosions."
A third witness, Kim Yong-cheol, 70, said he heard the sound of "metallic scraping" twice about five minutes before the crash and heard a "loud explosion" and saw "black smoke billowing into the sky" as the plane tried to land a second time. / Pamphlet
