A tragic incident has occurred in South Korea, as a plane carrying 181 people has crashed after a suspected bird strike. The crash has left almost all passengers and crew members feared dead, making it one of the deadliest aviation accidents in recent years.
The plane, which was operated by a South Korean airline, was on a domestic flight from Seoul to Jeju Island when it reportedly struck a flock of birds shortly after takeoff. The impact of the bird strike caused the plane to lose control and crash into a remote mountainous area.
Rescue teams and emergency services were quickly dispatched to the crash site, but the rugged terrain and harsh weather conditions have made it difficult for them to reach the wreckage. So far, only a few survivors have been found, with most of the passengers and crew members feared to have perished in the crash.
The news of the crash has sent shockwaves across South Korea and the world, with many expressing their condolences and support for the families of the victims. The government has declared a national day of mourning to honor those who lost their lives in the tragic accident.
Investigators are now working to determine the cause of the crash, with initial reports pointing to a bird strike as the likely trigger. Bird strikes are a common hazard for aircraft, especially during takeoff and landing, and can have catastrophic consequences if not properly managed.
This devastating incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks associated with air travel and the importance of ensuring the safety and security of passengers and crew members. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and loved ones of those who were on board the ill-fated flight, as they come to terms with this heartbreaking loss.
