Hours after a Jeju Air plane crash-landed and burst into flames, killing 179 people on board in the worst aviation disaster on South Korean soil, a photo of an aircraft's burnt out fuselage was shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed the wreckage.

South Korean police raided Jeju Air and the operator of the Muan airport as they ramped up their investigation into Sunday’s catastrophic plane crash that claimed 179 lives, marking the worst aviation disaster in the country’s recent history.

South Korea's policy agency said on Tuesday it was making efforts to expedite the process of identifying dead bodies from the Jeju Air plane crash that killed 179 people on Sunday.
