At least 176 people have died after a plane crashed while landing at an airport in South Korea.
The Boeing 737-800 flight, which was operated by Jeju Air, had 181 people on board and was arriving at Muan Airport in South Korea, from Bangkok, Thailand.
Footage obtained by BBC News appears to show the plane skidding off the runway before colliding with a wall and bursting into flames.
While the official death toll is currently 176, authorities assume that all on board have died.
This will mark the deadliest plane crash on South Korean soil.
The exact cause of the crash remains unknown however fire officials presume that bad weather and a bird strike may have had an impact.
The flight recorder from the plane's wreckage has since been recovered.
Over 1,500 emergency service workers have been deployed for the recovery effort.
