PLANE CRASHES IN SOUTH KOREA KILLING 120 PEOPLE ON BOARD
(BBC) At least 120 people are dead after a plane crashed while landing at an airport in South Korea.
The Boeing 737-800 flight - operated by airline Jeju Air - had 181 passengers on board and was arriving at Muan Airport from Bangkok, Thailand.
Footage online appears to show the plane coming off the runway and crashing into a wall, before bursting into flames.
No cause has been confirmed - but the fire service says it believes a collision with birds and poor weather may be to blame.
Two survivors, both members of the flight crew, have been pulled from the debris and rescue efforts continue.
