A passenger plane has crashed while landing at San Francisco airport, forcing passengers to jump down the emergency inflatable slides to safety.
Local media has quoted emergency services as saying all of those on the aircraft have been accounted for.
The Asiana Airlines flight, coming from Seoul, South Korea, was believed to be carrying 290 passengers, 12 crew members and one infant.
Some passengers have been treated for burns, according to reports.

I hope no one died or got horribly burned. From an early picture on NBC, there were hordes of people running from it. I wonder when that tail came off? Surely there is video of the landing and they will be able to tell what went wrong.

Just saw some video of the runway and with the debris and a dirty stain on the ground right to the water's edge, it looks like he came in very, very low.

Plus, I wonder why the plane burned where it did! Right near the front to mid section.

Crash survivor tells of tail breaking off and hostesses seated at back of plane flung out the back of plane!

ChibiLuv · 07-06-2013, 05:21 PM

I heard 2 people died

Just heard the news and trying to make sure all my bay area people are ok!

About 130 people went to the hospital, our area hospitals have been flooded. 10 people critically injured, 2 dead last I heard.

Eta - latest is 181 injured...

It's amazing that anyone survived. Those poor people.

Verbena · 07-06-2013, 06:47 PM

Wow those poor people. I send good thoughts and blessings to all that are involved in the crash and their families

It is amazing anyone survived...what a horrific experience for them

yorkietalkjilly · 07-06-2013, 08:46 PM

It really does sound as if coming in too low for some reason, whether engine failure, downdraft, pilot error or whatever, the nose or rear landing gear hit the rocky seawall and drug the forward inertia down, causing the plane to lose lift, precipitating the landing flare-lowered tail to hit and break off. One whole rear landing gear came off entirely very soon after crashing and it's right there on the runway. Course the tail itself could have hit the wall or near it but there's so little debris or strike signature right around there and you'd think there would have been far more right in the area where the tail actually struck. That part of the tail section is far wider than any markings or trail on the runway. I wonder if the other rear landing gear is in the water, still under the fuselage, elsewhere on the field or in pieces. I haven't seen it. The right engine is off and up by the fuselage but the other is clear of the plane. I heard a witness of the crash say she saw the left engine fly off and onto a runway median right after the tail hit. Anybody that got off that plane alive and not horribly burned was blessed.

I hope for the Pilot's sake, there was a electronic/mechanical malfunction. Maybe if Sullenberger had been at the controls...
