At least 179 people have died in a plane crash in South Korea, according to local fire and rescue officials. Two people survived, both crew members. Video shows the aircraft sliding on its belly before bursting into flames. Local fire officials and aviation experts say some sort of landing gear malfunction was likely. The pilot also made a mayday call shortly after the control tower warned about birds in the area.
