Plane Crashes on Landing in San Francisco Empty Plane Crashes on Landing in San Francisco

A Boeing 777 operated by the Korean airline Asiana crashed Saturday while landing at San Francisco International Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.


Images and video posted on social media by eyewitnesses to the crash showed the plane lying on the ground, its nose pointed slightly upward, apparently on fire and billowing smoke. It was not immediately clear what caused the crash.



The crash could be seen from some distance, and the images appeared to show that the plane had lost its tail and that fire had burned out much of the passenger section of the airliner.
Stefanie Laine, one of those who posted on Twitter that she had witnessed the crash, said the “plane came in at a bad angle, flipped, exploded.”
David Eun, who said in a Twitter message that he was a passenger on the plane, posted a picture of a downed Asiana jet from ground level, which showed some passengers walking away from the aircraft.
Firefighters were on the scene, but there were no reports yet of the extent of casualties. It was not clear how many people were on board. The F.A.A. said it could not immediately provide further details.
Two Asiana flights were scheduled to arrive in San Francisco from Seoul after 11 a.m., according to the company’s Web site.

WTF? So that's the actual pilot who made the tweet? News reported a couple hours ago that there were 60 people unaccounted for and possible fatalities.
