A full-fledged search is underway at the scene of the Jeju Air plane disaster.

Along with the search for belongings, the identification of the victims is expected to continue.

I'm connecting with a reporter who is at the scene of the disaster. Reporter Kim Ki-soo!

Please tell me about the situation on the ground.

[Reporter]
Yes, the place behind me is the scene of the accident.

As the day dawned, the search manpower increased noticeably unlike an hour ago.

A full-fledged search is taking place here, including the collection of oil products.

It has been confirmed that all 179 of the 181 passengers were killed in the accident, except for two rescuers.

The two rescued were male and female cabin crew members, who were rescued from the tail of the aircraft and taken to a hospital in Seoul for treatment.

The Jeju Air plane disaster remains the most casualty-related accident among domestic aircraft accidents.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has launched an investigation to find out the cause of the disaster, right? What part will you be investigating?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said today that the black box of the aircraft,
We plan to move the
flight recorder and voice recorder to the Gimpo Airport Test Analysis Center to see if it is possible to analyze it.

The flight recorder contains the flight path and the operation status of each device.

The voice recorder records conversations, various alarm sounds, and communication contents of the crew in the control room.

As such, the two devices are considered key clues to determine the cause of the accident.

However, some are talking about the possibility of damaging the flight recorder.

If the damage is severe, it should be left to the National Transportation Safety Commission to investigate, which is expected to take more than six months to detoxify.

If the decoding work of the two devices is delayed, it may affect the entire investigation process.

With the exact cause of the disaster unclear, such as the failure of landing gear or a bird collision, the results of today's inspection are noteworthy to see if the black box of the Jeju Air passenger plane is analytical.

The government said it will make the process transparent and inform the bereaved families of the accident, along with a strict investigation into the cause of the accident.

He also explained that he would check the aviation safety system as a whole to prevent similar accidents from occurring again.

A joint briefing by the Central Safety Countermeasures Headquarters will be held shortly at 10:30 a.m., and it is expected that the details of the accident settlement process will be released in the future.

I'm Kim Ki-soo of YTN at Muan International Airport.
