South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok has declared a seven-day national mourning period until January 4 after a plane crash at Muan International Airport killed 179 people. The Jeju Air flight from Bangkok was attempting to land when it belly-landed and veered off the runway. It erupted into a fireball after crashing into a wall at the airport.
