A Korean Air Boeing 727 on a domestic flight from Jeju to Daegu landed on its belly after the crew did not lower the landing gear. The crew skipped the approach checklist, dismissed a cockpit gear alarm by pulling its circuit breaker, and continued the approach despite three red gear indicator lights. All 127 occupants were evacuated, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
