STORYLINE:
Bereaved family members of the victims of a fatal plane fire on Monday criticised the South Korean government for their failure to preserve the victims’ bodies.
Park Han Shin, a representative of the bereaved families, said that the government has not kept their promise to preserve the bodies in freezer containers, saying they are not protecting their dignity.
"Their bodies are scattered on the hangar floor," he added.
Park told a meeting of bereaved families that the government had promised to place the bodies inside freezer containers during the day but they have not yet done so.
South Korean officials said Monday they will conduct safety inspections of all Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by the country’s airlines, as they struggle to determine what caused a plane crash that killed 179 people a day earlier.
Sunday’s crash was the country’s worst aviation disaster in decades.
