It was raining heavily in Cebu at the time of landing.



[Local residents: It started to rain around 9:30 at night, but the road was flooded a lot.

It was hard even with the wipers operating the most.

It was almost impossible to see while driving.]



The plane made two landing attempts, but failed and managed to land on the third attempt, but it crossed the runway and stopped.



[Accidental passenger plane passenger: (When landing) Suddenly, the airplane lights turned off and on while 'banging' as if stepping on a sudden brake...

There was a shock when it stopped.]



At that time, there were 162 passengers and 11 crew members on the plane, and Korean Air said that there were no casualties.



Passengers are transferred to the hotel and rested until an alternate flight arrives.



As the landing at Cebu Airport was suspended after the accident, other flights scheduled to arrive later were reported to have diverted to nearby Manila Airport.



Korean Air issued an apology in the name of President Woo Ki-hong and said that it would make every effort to rectify the situation as soon as possible.
