The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that a South Korean passenger plane with 181 people on board skidded on the runway at a high speed and slammed into a wall before exploding into flames. A New York Times dispatch to The Globe says that two crew members were rescued alive from the tail of the burning plane, but over the ensuing hours on Sunday, grim news trickled out to anxious relatives at Muan airport. By late Sunday, all of the remaining 179 people on board had been confirmed dead, making the Boeing 737-800 crash -- flown by low-cost carrier Jeju Air -- the worst aviation disaster involving a South Korean airline in nearly three decades and the worst ever on South Korean soil. Sunday's crash was the deadliest worldwide since that of Lion Air Flight 610 in 2018, when all 189 people on board died as the plane plunged into the Java Sea. Officials were investigating what caused the Jeju Air flight to crash-land, including why its landing gear appeared to have malfunctioned and whether the plane had been struck by birds. As speculation swirled about the cause of the crash, hundreds of family members of passengers endured the painful wait for news of their loved ones returning home from a trip abroad.
