In a heart-stopping incident from South Korea, two flight attendants emerged as survivors from a catastrophic plane crash involving a Jeju Air flight. This flight was on its journey from Bangkok to Muan, carrying 181 people, when calamity struck.
Initial reports suggest that the plane encountered an unexpected obstacle – a bird strike. This incident, as sources reveal, played a critical role in the tragedy that unfolded in the skies over South Korea.
The unsettling scene was captured in footage showing the Boeing jet making an emergency landing, striking the ground on its belly. Among the wreckage and chaos, a glimpse of hope appeared as two individuals were discovered alive amid the aftermath.
One of these survivors, a male flight attendant, was found conscious but in a state of confusion. Upon being questioned by medical teams, his response was a telling one: ‘What happened? How am I here?’ This sentiment echoed his bewildered state as the crash’s aftermath became clearer.
The attendant could only recall fastening his seatbelt before what was to be a routine landing. That was his last memory before the chaos unfolded. Unfortunately, everything that transpired post-impact remains a blind spot in his memory.
Assigned to the rear of the aircraft, this flight attendant’s duties had him attending to passenger needs before the ordeal. He sustained injuries, notably to his shoulders and his head, marking the physical toll exacted by the crash.
The tragic event unfolded in the serene South Jeolla province around 9 am local time. In a poignant twist, reports surfaced of a final communication from a passenger’s family, detailing their landing troubles due to a bird being trapped in the wing. This message stands as one of the last sent to loved ones, a chilling record of the moments before disaster struck.
