The first words from one of the two survivors from the fatal Jeju Air plane crash in South Korea that killed 179 other people have been revealed.
On Sunday, the plane skidded off the runway in the town of Muan before slamming into a concrete barrier and exploding into flames after its landing gear seemingly failed to deploy.
The tragedy killed 179 of the 181 people on board the Boeing 737-800.
One of the survivors – a 33-year-old male flight attendant who has only been identified by his last name, Lee – was disorinentated when he woke up in Ewha Woman’s University Hospital in Seoul, according to reports.
He asked “what happened” and “why am I here” upon waking up, according to doctors, as reported by MainOnline.
The man also said he had been wearing his seatbelt before the crash, but doesn’t remember anything else after that.
