On the first floor of Muan International Airport, where the families of passengers flocked to Jeju Air on the 29th, sobbing and crying for the family broke out everywhere.

Most of the passengers' families had already been in tears from the morning.

The family watching the news couldn't stop talking and just poured out tears.At 1 p.m., the fourth hour after the

accident, more than 100 people flocked to the conference room when the fire authorities decided to explain the details and situation of the accident to the families of the passengers.

As soon as Lee Jung-hyun, the chief of the Muan Fire Station in Jeollanam-do, said, "Most of the 181 passengers on the plane are estimated to have died," the conference room was filled with wailing in an instant.

As if in disbelief, when someone in the family asked, "Is there no chance of survival at all?" Chief Lee replied, "It's unfortunate, but I see it that way."

A woman who had been waiting for her daughter to return due to the slim chance of survival was weak in her legs, and a man expressed his anger and said, "How...I just repeated the words, "

Many families also expressed dissatisfaction with the belated action of authorities and airlines.

The families of the passengers asked to let the accident site in to determine whether it was alive or dead from the morning, but they protested when it was not accepted because it was a prohibited area for civilians to enter.

The families of the passengers also asked Choi Sang-mok, acting president and deputy prime minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance, who visited Muan Airport to tour the accident site, to "let us know the situation in real time" and to "think about our families first."

Acting President Choi Sang-mok gave a short answer, "I see," to the family's series of protests and bowed his head.

Families on board will soon meet to elect representatives and respond to authorities briefings and follow-up measures.
