At least 124 people killed as plane crashes while landing at South Korea airport

At least 124 people are dead after a plane crashed while landing at an airport in South Korea, the BBC reports.

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.
