SEOUL, South Korea — A jetliner skidded off a runway, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames Sunday in South Korea after its landing gear apparently failed to deploy. All but two of the 181 people on board were killed in one of the country’s worst aviation disasters, officials said.

Hours after a Jeju Air plane crash-landed and burst into flames, killing 179 people on board in the worst aviation disaster on South Korean soil, a photo of an aircraft's burnt out fuselage was shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed the wreckage.

Investigators from the NTSB and Boeing were expected to join the investigation into South Korea's deadliest air crash.

A Jeju Air plane carrying 181 people crashed upon landing at Muan International Airport in the South Korea on December 29, killing dozens, local news reported. Jeju Air flight 2216 from Bangkok, Thailand, to Muan, South Korea, crashed upon landing at Muan ...

Footage of the crash aired by YTN television showed the Jeju Air plane skidding across the airstrip, apparently with its landing gear still closed, and colliding head-on with a concrete wall.

The Muan crash is one of the deadliest disasters in South Korea’s aviation history. The last time South Korea suffered a large-scale air disaster was in 1997, when a Korean Airline plane crashed in Guam, killing 228 people on board. In 2013, an Asiana Airlines plane crash-landed in San Francisco, killing three and injuring approximately 200.
