The deadliest air accident ever in South Korea killed 179 people on Sunday, when an airliner belly-landed and skidded off the end of the runway, erupting in a fireball as it slammed into a wall at Muan International Airport.

The last part is no longer a policy in almost all airlines worldwide,btw

Huh, seems like a weird change to make.

It was never a policy for most airlines and wouldn't really help too much as well - the menu items that are different are thoroughly heated(multiple times) and the menu items that could be an issue (=are cold)are coming from the same source. Furthermore it is extremely rare for airline food to cause food poisoning (like really really rare) and even less likely for them to cause food poisoning that incapacitate someone so fast an diversion landing is not an option. (And long haul has medication against the worst symptoms onboard) Norovirus e.g. would be a far more likely problem (and there has been at least one diversion landing because of it) and that is not food related at all.
