The cause of the crash is “presumed to have been a bird strike,” one of the two rescued members of crew have told local media – as the number confirmed dead increased to 167.
“Smoke came out of one of the engines and then it exploded,” Ms Ku, a female flight attendant in her 20s, told Yonhap news agency.
Another survivor, flight attendant Mr Lee, 33, said he did not remember the circumstances of the crash.
When he was being checked over by a doctor in hospital he reportedly asked: “Why did I end up here?”
He added: “I was wearing my seatbelt before landing, and it seemed like the plane had landed, but I don’t remember anything after that.”
He suffered a fractured left shoulder and head injuries, according to the Aju Business Daily newspaper.
Both survivors are in hospital and receiving treatment.
