[Anchor]
A passenger plane carrying 175 passengers hit a wall and caught fire at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do during landing.The number of casualties is increasing as the

accident has been resolved.

I'm connecting the reporter who is on the scene. Reporter Kim Minsung!

The death toll keeps increasing.

[Reporter]
So far, a total of 181 people have been on board the plane.

Among them, there are 175 passengers and six crew members.

Unfortunately, 85 people have been confirmed dead so far.

Of the 85 dead, 39 were men and 46 were women.

No additional rescue news has been heard except for the two rescued.

The two rescued were male and female crew members, each in their 20s, who were taken to a hospital for treatment.

Just a moment ago, a fire department briefing reported that neither of them was in critical condition.

Of the 175 passengers, 173 were Korean passengers and two were Thai passengers.

When I came to the scene, a body was being collected around the aircraft that had an accident.

I could see rescuers coming and going with stretchers.

It seems that we have expanded the search scope a little bit now.

Not only where there is debris, but also the surrounding grasses are being searched by rescuers one by one.

It is also estimated that there are passengers inside the aircraft.

There seems to be a search operation on this interior as well.

You can also see some of the fuselage that has been ripped off right in front of the wall.

Search crews could also be seen checking inside as they opened the door here.

The appearance of the scene is very dizzy.

I can see some of the plane's fuselage behind me, behind the barbed wire.

The white part appears to be the plane's outer fuselage.

You can see a number of fragments from the plane around there.

A lot of debris is scattered.

Right behind me, I could also see paramedics carrying the body on a stretcher a little while ago.

Right now, volunteer firefighters are standing side by side to block the view to prevent the probation process from being seen.

You can also see the firefighters taking care of some abandoned luggage.

Some of the citizens, who appeared to be the families of some passengers outside the fence, sobbed while watching the on-site rescue work.

The plane in the accident caught fire at the time.

If you look at the vertical wing of the tail of the aircraft, you can see the charred appearance.Burn marks are also visible throughout the

gas.The fire that broke out immediately after the

accident was extinguished at around 9:45 a.m.

The Korea Airports Corporation (KAF) said that the plane in the accident was landing on the fuselage and caused an accident.

The landing gear, that is, the landing gear, was not opened and attempted to land.

Unfortunately, it appears to have collided with the airport wall.

If you look at the wall now, some of it is collapsed.

The cause of the accident will only be known after investigating.

So far, this is YTN Kim Min-sung at the scene of the plane crash at Muan Airport in Jeollanam-do.
