At least 120 people have been killed when a passenger plane caught fire after skidding off a runway and slamming into a concrete fence at a South Korean airport.
The National Fire Agency said rescuers raced to pull people out of the Jeju Air plane carrying 181 passengers... The death toll is expected to rise further.
Footage of the crash aired by YTN television showed the Jeju Air plane skidding across the airstrip... and colliding head-on with a concrete wall.
Workers were looking into various possibilities about what caused the crash, including whether the aircraft was struck by birds that caused mechanical problems.
