SEOUL, Dec 29, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - There was little chance that remaining passengers on a crashed Jeju Air flight survived, a South Korean fire department official said Sunday, after emergency workers recovered two survivors from the plane debris.

"Passengers were ejected from the aircraft after it collided with the barrier, leaving little chance of survival," a local fire department said in a statement. The plane carrying 181 people from Bangkok to South Korea crashed on arrival with 85 confirmed dead.
