All 181 passengers and crew aboard a passenger jet that crashed upon landing in South Korea on Sunday morning are presumed dead except for two people rescued from the wreckage, authorities said.
The two survivors have been described as a male crew member from the flight, who is receiving care for non-life-threatening injuries in an intensive care unit, and a female crew member who is recovering with non-life-threatening injuries, according to Health Ministry officials on Sunday evening.
Jeju Air Flight 2216 was landing at Muan International Airport around 9 a.m. local time when the plane went off the runway and crashed into a wall.
There were a total of 175 passengers and six crew members aboard the Boeing 737 aircraft, which had taken off from Bangkok, according to the Korean Ministry of Land Infrastructure and Transport. The official death toll, provided by the National Fire Agency, was at first conservative but climbed steadily in the hours after the crash.
Authorities explained that they are attempting to speed up the identification process for the victims. Although 141 out of 179 people have been identified through fingerprint identification and DNA control, 38 have not yet been identified.
In some cases, the bodies are so badly damaged that fingerprints cannot be sensed. Additionally, there are not records available by which to compare fingerprints for minors, which means that familial DNA comparison is necessary.
In the end, this altercation highlights the ongoing cultural divide between those who embrace the “woke” movement and those who reject it. Ramsay’s actions represent a larger cultural pushback against what some see as the overreach of social justice advocacy, while Kaepernick’s supporters view the incident as yet another attempt to silence marginalized voices. As the debate over “wokeness” continues to unfold, it is clear that both sides will continue to clash in public spaces, whether in restaurants, workplaces, or online forums. How this debate will evolve in the coming years remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: it will be a central issue for many in the years to come.
