South Korea’s leading low-cost carrier, heavy with debt and its stock already near record lows, is now facing intense public and government scrutiny.

Two people, both flight attendants, are the only survivors of the crash and are being treated at South Korean hospitals.

Search operations at the site of the Jeju Air plane crash concluded on Saturday, one week after the devastating accident claimed 179 lives. Officials announced that all 179 bodies have been recovered, with 151 already returned to their families along with identified personal belongings.

After overcoming pariah status at the end of the last century, South Korea must learn what caused the catastrophe on Dec. 29 and what lessons to draw from it.

Ultimately, the plane crashed, killing 179 people in South Korea’s worst aviation disaster. A standard pre-flight inspection found “no issues” with the Jeju Air passenger plane before it crashed.
