Jeju Air Tragedy: Heartbreaking Final Moments of Passengers Before Deadly Crash Claims 179 Lives.

South Korea is in mourning following one of its deadliest aviation disasters, where a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 skidded off the runway at Muan Airport, crashing into a concrete barrier and erupting into flames. The tragedy on Sunday claimed 179 lives, with only two crew members surviving the horrific crash.

Youngest Victim Among the Fallen

Among the victims was a three-year-old boy, identified as Go Mo, who was the youngest to perish. Heart-wrenching photos shared on Instagram by his father, Kang Ko, 43, and mother, Jin Lee Seon, 37, depicted the toddler enjoying his first trip abroad to Thailand. A particularly poignant image showed him gazing out of a plane window, filled with wonder, as he traveled to Bangkok.

Mr. Ko, a public relations manager for the Kia Tigers baseball team, had captioned the post: "My son is going abroad for the first time on a night flight, and his first passport has no stamp!" Tributes have since flooded the family’s social media pages, expressing grief and condolences.

Final Messages Hint at Cause of Crash

Chilling text messages sent by a passenger moments before the crash have surfaced, fueling speculation about the cause. One message read: "We can't land because a bird is stuck in the wing," followed by the ominous words: "Should I say my last words?" Communication was lost shortly after.

Investigators are now examining whether a bird strike contributed to the apparent failure of the plane’s landing gear, which reportedly failed to deploy properly during descent.

Tributes Pour In for Victims

Prominent figures and ordinary citizens alike have expressed sorrow over the loss. Sports broadcaster Jung Woo-young paid tribute to Mr. Ko, calling him a skilled and beloved colleague. "We waited for news of a miraculous return, but even our last hope disappeared," he wrote.
