A passenger jet has crashed upon landing in South Korea, killing at least 151 people. The Jeju Air flight from Bangkok skidded off the runway at Muan International Airport, crashed into a barrier and burst into flames. 181 people were on board the flight. Only two people have been rescued from the tail section of the Boeing 737-800. Officials say there's little chance of finding other survivors, which would make it South Korea's worst aviation disaster.
