Major U.S. media outlets, including CNN, deployed it to top online news immediately after the Jeju Air plane accident and transferred it to emergency news.
CNN said, "Two people were rescued from the wreckage of the plane, but given the situation at the time of the accident, large-scale casualties are inevitable."
In addition, he called it a "very embarrassing accident" given the flight records and conditions at the time and predicted that more information was needed in addition to the possibility of a bird collision.
"It is the worst aircraft accident since the 1997 Guam disaster killed more than 200 people," the AP and Reuters reported.
The BBC said, "It is the first major disaster since the establishment of Jeju Air in 2005, and it is a rare accident in Korea where aircraft safety is good."
The New York Times and others also reported a tragic situation in which hundreds of family members of the plane passengers anxiously wait for news of their families at Muan Airport.
Some foreign media also pointed to the recent political situation in Korea, saying that the disaster occurred while Korea was experiencing a political crisis due to the emergency martial law crisis.
The Washington Post expressed interest, saying that Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok, the acting president, arrived at the scene and started official work amid historical political upheaval.
Britain's Guardian predicted, "It will be the first test of acting president Choi Sang-mok, who served as acting president and prime minister at the same time."
U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing has expressed its condolences over the Jeju Air plane accident.
Boeing sent condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of the accident, adding that it is ready to contact Jeju Air to provide all support.
In response, CNN predicted that Boeing's headquarters in the United States could send necessary personnel to Korea to determine the cause of the accident.
