At least 177 people have died when a plane belly landed on a runway in South Korea before skidding off and bursting into flames. The Jeju Air jetliner was carrying 175 passengers and six crew when it crash-landed. Two people survived, both crew members, while another two remain missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local fire officials and aviation experts say some sort of\u00a0landing gear malfunction<\/a>\u00a0was likely. The pilot also made a mayday call shortly after the control tower warned about birds in the area. The investigation into the crash\u00a0could take years<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two survivors were found in\u00a0the plane\u2019s tail<\/a>, which rescuers said was the only part of the craft to retain any shape. There have been\u00a0harrowing scenes<\/a>\u00a0inside Muan International Airport, where relatives have been demanding answers from officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plane,\u00a0listed as a Boeing 737-800 on FlightAware<\/a>, had traveled from\u00a0Bangkok<\/a>, Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts say both the Boeing 787-800 and Jeju Air, South Korea\u2019s largest low-cost airline, have\u00a0a strong safety record<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
