SEOUL, South Korea — A jetliner skidded off a runway, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames Sunday in South Korea after its landing gear apparently failed to deploy. All but two of the 181 people on board were killed in one of the country’s worst aviation disasters, officials said.

Just two survivors were rescued from the wreckage of the passenger plane, which had been returning from Thailand.

Investigators from the NTSB and Boeing were expected to join the investigation into South Korea's deadliest air crash.
