On Sunday morning, a Boeing 737-8AS of Jeju Air, flying from Bangkok, skidded off a runway at a South Korean airport Sunday, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames after its front landing gear apparently failed to deploy. All but two of the 181 people on board died in one of the country's worst aviation disasters. The causes are being investigated.
