In a second plane crash this week at least 167 people are dead after a plane crashed while landing at an airport in South Korea.

The Boeing 737-800 flight - operated by airline Jeju Air - had 181 passengers on board and was arriving at Muan Airport from Bangkok, Thailand.

It is now assumed that all the passengers on the plane have died, in the deadliest plane crash on South Korean soil. Two survivors - flight attendants that were located at the back of the plane - were taken to hospital.

The passengers were returning from Thailand, where it is thought many of them had been on holiday over Christmas.
