South Korean officials have admitted they are battling to identify the badly damaged and burnt bodies of the crash victims following Sunday's grim accident. The passenger plane erupted into a fireball after smashing into a wall following a crash landing.

All but two of the 181 people on board were killed in the tragedy that has left the world reeling. Grieving families have spent days camped outside Muan International Airport as they grow desperate to see the bodies of their loved ones. Five of those killed were children aged under 10.

The youngest was only a three-year-old who had spent the days prior on a family holiday with his parents Kang Ko, 43, and Jin Lee Seon, 37. All three tragically died on the doomed plane. Pictures from their trip - the boy's first and only foreign holiday - were posted on Instagram hours before they boarded the Jeju Air plane.

The harrowing images, found by local media, were all taken in the days before they initially left for Thailand and detailed the loving family trip. One showed the trio posing for a snap in front of a beautiful Thai palace. A second gut-wrenching snap showed the little boy excitedly peering out of a plane window as they flew into Bangkok.
