179 Killed in Airplane Crash, South Korea’s Deadliest

The Diplomat  

On December 29, a Jeju Air plane skidded off the runway at the Muan International Airport after failing to deploy landing gear. At 9:03 a.m. KST on December 29, a Jeju Air flight from Bangkok carrying 175 passengers and six crew skidded off the runway of the Muan International Airport in South Korea’s South Jeolla province. However, it is still unknown what caused the crash, and the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said it could take months to find out the main cause of the disaster – the deadliest in South Korea’s aviation history. On December 30, the Joint Investigation Unit requested an arrest warrant against Yoon – which is the first arrest warrant issued toward a sitting president in South Korea’s history – after he repeatedly refused to appear for questioning and to accept the search and seizure warrants relating to the presidential office. Only 13 days after Yoon’s impeachment by the National Assembly, Han Duck-soo, the prime minister of South Korea who was the acting president, was also impeached by the National Assembly controlled by the DP due to his decision not to approve the legislature’s appointments of three judges for the Constitutional Court.
