The aviation disaster is South Korea’s deadliest in more than two decades. These editions added the word „Tonight“ to the program title in the mid-1990s, further unifying it with the weekday editions, and in the mid-2000s, their respective names were shortened uniformly to World News Tonight to correspond with those broadcasts. However, the original names were World News restored on July 19, 2006, concurrent with the retitling of the weekday broadcasts, but the opening title sequence displayed the name as World News for both the Saturday and Sunday editions. For about a month, Good Morning America co-hosts Charles Gibson and Diane Sawyer had alternated co-anchoring the newscast with Vargas.

The death toll from a plane crash at Muan International Airport in South Korea has risen to 85, with most of the remaining passengers and crew presumed dead, according to the South Jeolla Fire Service.

The final death toll from the plane crash in South Korea is 179, meaning just two people survived, the fire service says. Experts have urged local officials, who are facing demands for answers from loved ones of those killed in the aviation disaster, not to speculate on its cause until more information is available. A man who witnessed Sunday’s plane crash in Muan, South Korea, said he is “devastated” by the disaster, describing the scene of the accident to Reuters.

Emergency responders said they had rescued two people from the plane, according to the fire department. The former prosecutor has been banned from leaving the country and is facing a string of investigations, including potential charges of leading an insurrection – a crime punishable by life imprisonment or even the death penalty. Han Duck-soo, the man who stepped in to replace Yoon as acting president, was impeached by parliament on Friday.

On January 29, 2006, Woodruff and his cameraman, Doug Vogt, were injured by a road-side bomb while riding in an Iraqi military convoy. Both underwent surgery at a U.S. military hospital in Balad, Iraq (50 miles (80 km) north of Baghdad). Both men incurred head injuries in the incident, even though they were both wearing body armor and helmets. Woodruff and Vogt were then evacuated to a U.S. military hospital in Germany, before later being transferred to Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland for further treatment and released for outpatient treatment. Within a few months after Woodruff’s accident, ABC News announced that Vargas was pregnant and due to give birth to her second child in late summer.

As a tribute to its recently deceased anchor, ABC continued to introduce the broadcast as World News Tonight with Peter Jennings in the week following his death. Gibson anchored the broadcast the first part of the week, playing a slow arrangement of the traditional theme music in memory of Jennings; Bob Woodruff anchored the final edition of World News Tonight with Peter Jennings on August 12, 2005. That night’s broadcast ended with one of Jennings’s favorite pieces of music instead of the traditional theme music. Beginning on August 15, 2005, the broadcast was introduced simply as World News Tonight and it remained that way until January 2006.

The French and German foreign ministers are the most senior Western officials to visit Syria since longtime dictator Bashar al-Assad was toppled by rebels. NCEI collaborates with partners to conduct research to better understand Earth’s magnetic field, its variations, and its potential impact on Earth and its technologies. This research helps improve the accuracy of the WMM and contributes to the scientific community’s broader understanding of the Earth’s magnetic field and its various sources, from the core to electric currents in the near-Earth environment.

The WMM is key to global navigation, ensuring that technological systems relying on the Earth’s magnetic field operate correctly. Residents of the western Australian city of Sydney enjoyed a fireworks display three hours ahead of midnight local time, which is 8 a.m. She has since returned to co-anchor 20/20 and ABC News specials, and has served as a substitute anchor on World News Tonight under Gibson and his successors. Video showed fire services attempting to extinguish the fire with water cannons.

Major airlines offer storm waivers to passengers ahead of winter storm

⁠The death toll from a plane crash at Muan International Airport in South Korea has risen to 149, according to the fire service. Considering the plane was manufactured outside of South Korea, investigators will need to consult the manufacturers of major parts of the plane, which might mean the investigation takes a long time, the land ministry said. There are also questions around the situation on board the plane, Thomas said, including why the aircraft’s undercarriage was not lifted when it tried to land. The two confirmed survivors of the Jeju Air crash in South Korea were rescued from the plane’s tail section, the only part of the aircraft that retained some of its shape, Muan fire chief Lee Jung-hyun told a briefing. So far, the death toll of the devastating crash stands at 177, the fire service said, leaving just two of the 181 people who were on board the plane unaccounted for.

The flight was carrying 181 passengers and crew when it belly-landed before slamming into a barrier, killing all aboard except two flight attendants. ABC News programs, including ABC World News Tonight, are shown for several hours a day on the 24-hour news network OSN News in MENA Region.

Another feature introduced during Sawyer’s tenure was „Made in America“, a feature segment reported by David Muir, chronicling enterprising American companies.

“In fact, that’s why it’s so protected when there is an aircraft accident investigation, the information is protected. They’re not supposed to be making any speculation about this type of thing,” Soucie told CNN’s Paula Newton. Most of the remaining passengers and crew are presumed dead, according to the fire service.
