A male flight attendant is one of the only survivors of the recent Jeju Air tragedy in Muan, South Korea.

Of the 181 occupants, two survived the crash. Both are Jeju Air flight attendants: a 33-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman.

The male flight attendant is being treated in the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU) for multiple fractures. At this time, he does not appear to have any signs of memory loss and is “fully able to communicate” said director of the Ewha Woman’s University Seoul Hospital.

He told doctors that he “had already been rescued” from the crash when he regained consciousness.

About the female cabin crew member, she is reportedly in stable condition at a different hospital. She suffered injuries to her ankle and head.
