Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
We're coming to you live from London.
My name's Paul Henley.
Now, A plane carrying 181 people has crashed on landing at an airport in South Korea.
Officials are saying they believe nearly everyone on board has died.
Two survivors have been found.
It appears to have been the deadliest air accident ever on South Korean soil.
Establishing exactly what happened might be a challenge given the extensive damage the aircraft suffered.
There is already speculation about what went wrong.
We heard some of that from the chief of the local fire station, Lee Jong Hyon, when he spoke at a news conference.
We are presuming the cause of the accident to be a bird strike or deteriorating weather conditions, and the exact cause will be determined by a further forensic and joint investigation.
We're doing our best to search for more survivors.
As a person who's seen the site.
I can only say I'm sad.
Well, let's hear live from our correspondent Yuna Koo, who is at Muon International Airport, where the crash happened.
Yuna, welcome.
Can you talk us through what seems to have happened in this disaster?
Hello, Paul.
I'm now right inside the airport and this is where the accident happened.
