Two of the cabin crew survived the violent plane crash in South Korea where the majority of the people on board have been confirmed dead, reports the news agency Yonhap.

One of the survivors, a 33-year-old male cabin crew member, claims not to remember the incident after putting on his seatbelt on the plane.

"Why am I here?", "What happened?", he asked, believing that the plane had landed safely, to the doctor at the hospital.

The man, who was responsible for the service in the rear part of the plane, has, according to the hospital, suffered a fracture on his left shoulder and head injuries, but "is conscious, alert and can walk".

The other survivor, a female cabin crew member in her 20s, survived the crash with injuries that are not considered life-threatening. She has told the rescue service that "one of the plane's engines smoked and then exploded".

The two are said to have been in the rear part of the plane and are believed to have survived because that part broke off in the crash.

181 people were on board and the death toll is feared to rise to 179.
