Families of victims of Sunday’s deadly plane crash in Muan mourned the losses of their loved ones while expressing anger and frustration at the authorities’ response in the accident’s aftermath.
Weeping family members could be heard on the first floor of Muan International Airport, 288 kilometers southwest of Seoul, where a Jeju Air plane carrying 181 people had burst into flames during landing at around 9 a.m.
“My sister was on that plane,” said a 33-year-old woman surnamed Kim. “She’s had so many hardships and gone traveling because her situation was only just beginning to improve.”
At around 1 p.m., some 100 people crowded a meeting room as firefighting officials began providing an update.
