The plane slammed into a wall and burst into flames, resulting in the deadliest air accident ever in South Korea. At least two people, both crew members, have been rescued from the plane and are being treated for injuries, which had 175 passengers and six crew members on board.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>What happened? <\/strong>The flight arriving from Bangkok attempted to land then skidded down the runway with no apparent landing gear before exploding into flames.
