Victims’ Families visit Plane Crash Site on New Year

Some 700 bereaved family members of the December 29th plane crash victims headed outside the Muan International Airport.

Their first visit to the crash site comes on the fourth day since the tragedy. All that’s left on the runway are burnt debris and the tail part of the plane.

There, the families set up a small memorial service table and place a bowl of rice cake soup and chrysanthemum flower.

The families moan and wail even during a briefing by emergency headquarters officials. All they want is to hold a proper funeral as soon as possible.
