SOUTH KOREA – An Airbus plane has caught fire at an airport of South Korea’s city of Busan, forcing the evacuation of all 176 people on board, fire authorities say. They say four people were injured as they were escaping the Air Busan aircraft on inflatable slides in the south-eastern airport on Tuesday evening. The blaze is said to have started at the tail of the Hong Kong-bound plane shortly before take-off. Firefighters – who arrived within minutes – were seen trying to put out the fire that spread to the fuselage. This comes less than a month after the worst air disaster on South Korean soil when a Jeju Air plane crash-landed in the south-western Muan airport, killing 179 people. Two people survived. (BBC)
