The plane crash at Muan Airport in South Jeolla Province...175 passengers on board

[Anchor]
I think it's still on fire, so please tell me about the situation on the spot.

[Reporter]
Most of the lights are out at the scene here.

I arrived at the site 10 minutes ago, and the scene is really disastrous.

If you look behind me, there is an object that is believed to be an airplane fuselage like that.

It's so broken that it's hard to tell if it's an airplane.

The white part that you see back there appears to be the plane's outer fuselage.

You can also see several fragments from the plane around it.

On the side, there are a lot of debris scattered around.

Paramedics were also frequently seen carrying bodies on stretchers.

The plane crash occurred at 9 a.m. at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do.

It's a Jeju Air flight carrying 175 passengers.

It is said that six crew members were also on board.

Unfortunately, 28 people have been confirmed dead so far.

The plane left Bangkok, Thailand, early this morning and was returning to Muan.

The report was received at around 9:05 a.m. At the time, the caller reportedly said that the plane crashed at Muan Airport and was on fire.

Police believe the landing gear has not come down so far, colliding with the airport's outer wall. Currently, the fire authorities are mobilizing both manpower and equipment to extinguish and rescue the plane's fire.

I'll ask you a more detailed question.

As you explained just a moment ago, 181 people were on board, and 28 of them were found to have died. How likely is it that the scale of casualties will expand?

[Reporter]
Just a moment ago, we received a delivery of the death toll from the police.

So far, 28 people have died, and rescue is underway.

If you look next to me, the plane is broken like this.

At the scene, there are also rumors that another plane's fuselage will be around.

Because of this, there seems to be a possibility that the number of casualties will increase further.

[Anchor]
Is the casualty scale being counted accurately?

[Reporter]
Since rescue operations are currently taking place, the number of victims is expected to be accurately counted depending on the exact rescue operations.

If I explain the accident again today, the accident will be around 9 a.m.

It's Muan International Airport.

Reporter Na Hyun-ho showed us the scene a little while ago and told us that it appears to contain fuselage fragments of another plane, what exactly does this mean? Are you saying you bumped into another plane?

[Reporter]
That's not the story. The local situation is very chaotic.

The exact number of deaths has not been counted yet, and the number of injuries has not been accurately released so far. As you can see on the screen, the fuselage is very messy.

Given the frequent traffic of ambulances near here, it seems that there is a possibility that there may be some in other places as well.

[Anchor]
If you look at the fire screen and see the black smoke rising high in the sky, you can estimate the extent of the damage at that time, so how do you describe the reporter at the scene?
