The US is sending air accident investigators to South Korea to help determine what went wrong with the Jeju Air plane that crashed at Muan Airport, killing 179 people.
The team of investigators includes the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Boeing, which manufactured the plane.
The Boeing 737-800, operated by Jeju Air, had departed from Bangkok, Thailand and arrived in Muan, South Korea, around 9 a.m. local time.
Only two people survived, both crew members who were rescued from the back of the plane during the initial search.
At a briefing on Sunday, South Korea's infrastructure and transport ministry reported that the control tower had warned of birds in the area shortly before the plane landed.
