Plane crash in South Korea kills 111 he high occun “The most women,” she si ommunicate \ Sgt. Betty tepartment sa :rs and that th KIMHAE, South Korea (AP) — Its passengers screaming in terror, a Chinese jet plowed into a fog-shrouded mountain in South Korea on Monday, killing at least 118 people. The plane caught fire and skidded 100 yards, but some how 39 of those aboard survived. The Air China Boeing 767- 200, on a nonstop flight from Beijing, was approaching Kimhae Airport outside Busan, South Korea’s second largest city, when it hit a 1,000-foot mountain near a residential area, police said. There were no casu alties on the ground. Survivors said Flight CA-129 crashed shortly after passengers were told to buckle their seat belts and prepare for landing. “The plane suddenly dipped, then rose and then went down again. Seconds later, there was a big bang and I was knocked unconscious,” said Jin Wenxue, a 35-year-old Korean-Chinese man from China’s Jilin province. The plane hit one side of the mountain and then plowed toward the peak, catching fire and cutting a trail of fallen trees 100 yards long and 30 yards wide. “Bodies were burning in the mud. Survivors were crying in pain,” said Bae Han-sol, 15, who rushed to the site after the plane skimmed over his village with a roar. , “We seldom seepto'’ over our village, so Hta was strange that the plane filing, flew toward the in fog,” Bae said.
