Investigators began lifting sections of the jet’s fuselage, expecting to find remains of the 179 people who died.

Meanwhile, the investigation into the cause of the crash continued, extended by a week.
Investigators in South Korea began on Friday clearing the wreckage of the Jeju Air plane which crashed on landing last weekend, killing all but two of the 181 people on board.

Flight 2216 belly-landed at Muan International Airport on Sunday, flying back from Bangkok. The exact cause of the crash has yet to be determined. Investigators suspect a bird strike, faulty landing gear or the barrier at the end of the runway.

Investigations into the crash were extended by a week, with the engine manufacturer of the plane joining the probe.
