Witnesses Report Seeing Flames in Plane's Engine and Hearing Explosions Before Crash
-
SEOUL - One of only two survivors - both flight attendants - of a deadly plane crash in South Korea on Dec 29 appeared to have no memory of the tragedy. When doctors at Mokpo Hankook Hospital asked him about his condition, he reportedly replied: "What happened? How am I here?"
He told doctors the last thing he remembers is putting on a seat belt, as he thought the plane was about to land. He has no recollection of anything after that.
The man, who was stationed to serve passengers near the back of the plane, suffered injuries to his left shoulder and head. A female flight attendant is being treated at the same hospital.
Jeju Air's Flight 2216, with 181 people on board, had flown from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport and later crashed at Muan International Airport in South Korea's South Jeolla province at around 9am local time (8am Singapore time).
Before the crash, a passenger sent a text message to a family member, saying the aircraft was "not... able to land because of a bird on a wing". It is one of the last known texts sent to a family member.
