Breaking News: Boeing 737-800 Aircraft Crash Lands at Thailand’s Mukdahan Airport; 177 Fatalities Reported
In a devastating incident, a Boeing 737-800 operated by South Korean airline Jeju Air, carrying 181 passengers, crashed at Mukdahan Airport, Thailand. According to the latest reports from Reuters, 177 people have lost their lives in the accident.
The aircraft was supposed to fly to Bangkok but never made it off the runway. Initial reports from BTA suggest that the crash was caused by a failed landing gear, while YTN’s footage shows the plane skidding on the tarmac with its wheels retracted, veering off the runway, and colliding with a concrete wall before bursting into flames.
Investigations are still ongoing, but airport authorities speculate that a bird strike might have caused the landing gear failure. Emergency services continue to work at the scene, with all other flights from Mukdahan Airport temporarily suspended.
