At least 85 killed as plane crashes while landing at South Korea airport

At least 85 people have died when a plane crashed while landing at an airport in South Korea

The Jeju Air plane had 181 passengers on board and was arriving at Muan Airport from Bangkok, Thailand when it came off the runway and crashed into a wall, 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, one crew member and one passenger, have been pulled from the debris so far and rescue efforts continue

Acting South Korean President Choi Sang-mok has arrived at the crash site, the presidential office says.

Choi gave direction to provide manpower, healthcare and equipment to help with the rescue effort, the office says.

The government will do all it can to support the bereaved families, it adds.

Choi was named interim leader of the country on Friday after the previous acting president was impeached amid an ongoing political crisis.
