Four days after the Jeju Air plane disaster, bereaved families toured the runway disaster for the first time.
The victims were all identified through a thorough DNA test.
I'll connect you to a reporter at the airport accident site. Reporter Facial expression!
[Reporter]
Yes, this is the scene of the Muan International Airport accident.

The bereaved families visited the scene of the accident?
[Reporter]
Yes, the accident site is where only the tail of the aircraft remains behind me.
The bereaved families took a bus to the scene of the accident at 11 a.m. today.
The bereaved families set up a simple table here with rice cake soup and held a summary ceremony.
The bereaved families who saw the plane up close burst into tears.
Although the reporters were unable to accompany us, we could hear the bereaved family crying from far away here where our broadcasting team is.
After visiting the site of the bereaved families, police and fire authorities are working again to recover the victims' belongings and damaged bodies.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport is continuing its investigation into the cause of the aircraft's landing gear not working, leaving all possibilities open.
We are determining whether there was a defect in the device itself, the possibility of shutting down the aircraft, and whether both engines failed.
In addition, we are continuing to analyze the plane's black box to determine the exact cause of the disaster.
Yesterday, a joint team of U.S. experts scrutinized the azimuth facilities at the airport where the aircraft crashed.
Today (1st), the U.S. side is expected to send two additional investigators to the site to continue the investigation quickly.

All 179 victims were also identified?
[Reporter]
Yes, it is.
All four victims, who have not been identified, have been identified.
All 179 victims of the accident were identified on the fourth day of the disaster.
The additional identified victims were identified through a detailed DNA test.
As recently as yesterday afternoon, there were a total of five unconfirmed victims.
The police took additional DNA from the bereaved family and conducted a thorough DNA test to identify one person late last night, and identified all the victims left in the early morning hours.
Police said today that they will take measures to ensure that the families of the 50 victims who have been identified and identified by DNA will be extradited.
Let's listen to it for ourselves.
[Na Won-oh / Head of Investigation Department, Jeonnam National Police Agency: For those who wish to take over, we will prepare a medical examination certificate and a body examination form to check whether they are themselves, the underwriter, and the legitimate right holder..]
However, the impact of the accident is so great that there are still many bodies scattered at the scene.
As all the scattered bodies need to be recovered, it will take a considerable amount of time to deliver the bodies of the victims as intact as possible to the bereaved families.
The number of victims whose bodies have been delivered to the bereaved families is 21, up from the previous 11, with most of them having funerals or undergoing procedures.
So far, I'm YTN's facial expression Woo at the scene of the Muan International Airport accident.
