I heard a Twin engine Cesna went down in a Cemetary in Krakow Poland this morning. So for they've recovered over two hundred bodies.

Damn... my dad was supposed to be on a business trip but not sure if it's somewhere near Pusan.

I should check out the Korean sources.

Any ways, my condolences to my home country.

@ the jokes in this thread

Maybe my news is outdated.

 

[joohang]

Phew! Just learned that my dad travelled southwest not southeast. I hope he didn't take a detour.

Seems like more bad news every time you turn around.

I'm sorry to hear of the lives that were lost in this accident.



Red, you should know better.

Details from Korean sources:

So the plane crashed into a mountain by the city of Kimhae, at the southern tip of the peninsula.

The plane had 136 Koreans and 19 "foreigners" (mostly Chinese).

So it left Beijing and tried to land at Inch'on (the only international airport in Korea, as I recall) but it was too foggy so they detoured to Kimhae airport and tried some sort of "emergency" landing (the article is a bit unclear to me about this one).

Approximately 10 minutes after the estimated arrival time, it crashed into the Mount Sin-o.

Since 8:30am, the Inch'on airport did not allow landing of any planes with more than 150 passengers as it was too foggy.

They were mostly travellers. There were about 25 survivors so far.
