South Koreans visited a memorial altar in Seoul on Tuesday (December 31) as they paid tribute to victims of the Jeju Air plane crash two days earlier that killed 179 people, marking the deadliest air disaster in the country.

On Sunday (December 29), all 175 passengers and four of the six crew were killed when a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 belly-landed and skidded off the end of the runway at Muan International Airport, erupting into a fireball as it slammed into a wall. Two crew members were pulled out alive.

“For about two days, I couldn’t help but feel sorrowful. The news kept reporting it, and it was just so, so sad,” said 67-year-old Seoul resident Park Byun-ho.

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon was also seen paying his respect to the victims on Tuesday morning.
