South Korea’s acting President Choi Sang-mok on December 30 paid respect to passengers and crew killed in the country’s deadliest air disaster after he ordered an emergency safety inspection of the entire airline operation system. All 175 passengers and four of the six crew were killed when a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 belly-landed and skidded off the end of the runway at Muan International Airport, erupting in a fireball as it slammed into a wall. Two crew members were pulled out alive.
