Headline: UNCAPTIONED: South Korea Orders Nationwide Airline Safety Checks After Tragedy
Caption: South Korea Orders Nationwide Airline Safety Checks After Tragedy. South Korea's acting leader has called for an emergency safety inspection of all airlines, following the country's deadliest plane crash, which claimed 179 lives at Muan International Airport. A Jeju Air plane burst into flames during a crash-landing, with only two crew members surviving. Acting President Choi Sang-mok has urged investigators to disclose findings swiftly to grieving families. The urgency heightened after another Jeju Air flight was forced to return to Seoul on Monday due to landing-gear issues. The flight, a Boeing B737-800, belongs to the same model line as the ill-fated aircraft, raising concerns since 39 of Jeju Air’s 41 planes are this model. Safety measures and rapid investigations are now the top priority for South Korean aviation. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
