On that dark morning, Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do, South Korea, was illuminated by a sudden fire, and the fate of Jeju Air Flight 7C2216, which was supposed to welcome the morning light, was sharply reversed. The Dream Wings took off from Bangkok, Thailand, but crashed nightmarily next to the fence outside the airport at about 9:07 local time, the fuselage broke and the flames engulfed the sky.

Behind this aviation disaster that shocked Asia and even the world was the breakdown and tears of countless families. According to official reports, the 175 passengers and 6 crew members on board, except for two miraculously surviving, the remaining 179 people were unfortunately killed in the fire. As a Boeing 737-800 airliner, it was supposed to be a symbol of safety and efficiency, but in an instant it became a death trap.

Witnesses at the scene described that the plane rushed to the ground in an unstable posture, and was immediately surrounded by tongues of fire after impact, with black smoke billowing and crying and sirens intertwined into a symphony of sorrow. Firefighters and first responders disregard their personal safety and shuttle through the raging fire, trying to find an oasis of life, but unfortunately, except for the two survivors, nature seems to have lost its color.

According to the preliminary analysis of aviation experts, the accident may be caused by mechanical failure, operational error or external factors such as bad weather, bird collision and other factors. The investigation team is going all out to piece together the fragments of the tragedy, find answers, and strive to give the world an explanation and, more importantly, comfort those innocent souls.

The air crash was not only a major blow to South Korea's civil aviation industry, but also a torture of human confidence. It reminds us that behind the prosperity of science and technology and convenient transportation, risks and challenges still exist. Every flight is a reverence for nature and an exploration of the limits of science and technology, and we should learn from it, constantly reflect, and continue to improve aviation safety standards to ensure that similar tragedies do not happen again.

Here, we extend our deepest condolences to all the victims, may heaven be free of disasters, and may the survivors and their families receive more care and support to go through this dark time together.
