The bereaved family's "devastated room"...a sleepless airport

[Anchor]
The trip that I went to for Christmas and the end of the year became a disaster.

They prayed desperately to come out alive, but 179 of the 181 passengers on board were confirmed dead, leaving bereaved families devastated.

Tents have entered the airport, which should be crowded with travelers.

It is a temporary residence where the bereaved families of the Jeju Air plane disaster will stay.

Relief supplies arrive here for the bereaved families who cannot leave the airport.

On one side of the airport, genetic collection of bereaved families is in full swing.

This is to identify the dead based on the secured genes.

Everywhere, the sound of the bereaved families sobbing is heard.

I try hard to hold back the flowing tears, but it doesn't stop.

The bereaved families prayed for him to stay alive, but they couldn't believe that 179 people were killed.

Hug each other, wipe away tears, and try to relieve the sadness.

On the last holiday of 2024, the airport was filled with grief.
