Runway operations at the Philippines’ Mactan Cebu International Airport temporarily resumed from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. local time on Monday for departing flights as salvage crews worked to recover a severely damaged Korean Air Airbus A330-300 that overran the runway late Sunday during heavy rain. All 162 passengers and 11 crew members on board survived the crash, which happened at 11:11 p.m., after Flight KE631 from Seoul executed two separate go-arounds due to weather conditions.
