SEOUL, Dec 29 (Reuters) - At least 62 people were killed when an airliner veered off the Runway and erupted into a fireball as it slammed into a wall at South Korea's Muan International Airport on Sunday, the national fire agency said.

Two people were rescued, the agency said, and an official told Reuters they were crew members.

The crash occurred as Jeju Air flight 7C2216, carrying 175 passengers and six crew on a flight from the Thai capital Bangkok, was landing shortly after 9 a.m. (0000 GMT) at the airport in the south of the country, South Korea's transport ministry said.
