Reports say the cause of the accident was a malfunction in the plane's landing gear. The video shows the plane attempting a 'belly landing' moments before the crash. In a belly landing, the plane's bottom touches the runway instead of its wheels. The brakes act on the wheels and stop the plane. But this is not possible in a belly landing. As a result, the plane overshot the runway and hit a fence. The plane that crashed was carrying 181 people. Of these, 6 were flight attendants. Rescue operations began immediately after the accident. fire trucks at the airport were sent to put out the fire. The passengers on the plane were rescued.
According to online flight tracking website FlightRadar24, the plane was flying from bangkok to Muan. South Korea's interim president Choi Sang-mok has ordered all necessary measures to be taken for the rescue operations. His chief of staff also called an emergency meeting. It is suspected that the landing gear may have been damaged by a bird strike. According to the latest reports, 62 people have died in the plane crash.
