SEOUL, Dec 30 (Reuters) - South Korea's acting President
Choi Sang-mok on Monday ordered an emergency safety inspection
of the country's entire airline operation system once the
recovery work on the Jeju Air crash is finished. 
    South Korea's deadliest air accident ever killed 179 people
on Sunday, when an airliner belly-landed and skidded off the end
of the runway, erupting in a fireball as it slammed into a wall
at Muan International Airport.
