Two male and female crew members who survived the plane crash were transferred to Seoul for treatment.

Among them, a female flight attendant told the situation at the time of the accident, saying that the plane seemed to crash with a sudden explosive roar, and a male flight attendant said he was rescued when he woke up.

Two crew members were rescued from the flight with 181 people on board.

The crew members at the rear of the aircraft were first transferred to a hospital in Mokpo for treatment and then transferred to a hospital in Seoul.

Among them, a female flight attendant in her 20s was transferred to Mokpo Central Hospital shortly after the rescue, and she was conscious at the time.

[Shim Jae-cheol / Department of Emergency Medicine at Mokpo Central Hospital: You were in a clear state of consciousness when you came. Blood pressure and things like that are also stable, and when you came here, there was a laceration on the right scalp and there was a little severe bleeding on that side.]

The female flight attendant was very surprised when she arrived at the hospital and did not know the circumstances of the accident, but

I told the medical staff that the plane seemed to crash with a sudden explosive roar.

[Shim Jae-cheol / Department of Emergency Medicine at Mokpo Central Hospital: There was an explosive roar like a thump, and when I checked it, it was very smokey and I can't remember exactly after that....]

Another survivor, a male flight attendant in her 30s, was also transferred to Seoul and told medical staff that she had been rescued when she woke up.

[Joo Woong / Director of Ewha Womans University Seoul Hospital: He didn't ask in detail because he thought it wouldn't help him recover, but he said he was rescued when he woke up]

A situation in which a bird collision is cited as one of the main causes of the disaster in relation to the cause of the airplane accident.

As the female flight attendant also stated that there was an explosion sound when something hit, attention is being paid to whether it could be a clue to reveal the cause of the accident.
