Officials are investigating the cause of the deadliest aircraft crash in South Korean history, which killed 179 people.

The flight, operated by Jeju Air, was landing when it went off the runway in Muan, in the country’s southwest. Only two people survived the crash.

South Korean police on Thursday, January 2, raided Jeju Air's regional aviation office, the office is in Seoul, and the crash site as a part of the ongoing investigation, reported the news agency AFP.

A dog named Pudding has been faithfully waiting for its family, unaware that they will never return home after they were killed in South Korea’s worst air disaster. Among the 179 victims of the Jeju Air Flight 112 catastrophe on Sunday were all nine members of its family.

Footage of the crash showed the plane skidding across the airstrip at high speed, evidently with its landing gear still closed, and slamming into a wall.

Acting South Korean President Choi Sang-mok has told emergency responders to use "all available" resources to respond to the crash.

South Korean investigators on Friday began lifting the wreckage of the Jeju Air plane that crashed five days ago, killing 179 people in the worst aviation disaster on its soil,

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

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.

Any “us vs. them” dynamic can be dangerous for democracy. But when that divide centers on mutually exclusive visions of a nation, the effects are uniquely detrimental.
