Featured Replies

291 passengers on board, preliminary info is all survived.

Plane landed low and short at SFO 28L, hitting the seawall, ripped off the tail, left engine and as it skidded down the runway losing pieces. Came to a halt off the left of the runway then caught fire. Cabin mostly destroyed by fire.

Could have been a lot worse.

numerous news sources reporting

BREAKING NEWS: An Asiana Airlines flight crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport, Fox News confirms.

It was not immediately known whether there were any injuries.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown says Flight 214 was coming from Seoul, South Korea and was supposed to land on runway 28 left at San Francisco International Airport at 11:26 PDT.

She said the sequence of events was still unclear, but it appeared the plane landed and then crashed.

A video clip posted to Youtube shows smoke coming from the silver-colored Boeing 777 jet on the tarmac. Passengers could be seen jumping down the inflatable emergency slides.

Hi,

Thoughts with all involved in this nasty accident. Looks like it hit the ground 500 metres early judging by the runway markings. Could be numerous reasons for the accident, but possibly a misjudged visual approach.

The instrument landing system has been off the air for that runway due to it being relocated so that may well be a contributory factor. Nothing to indicate that weather played a part with clear skies and light winds.

Things happen quickly on approach when your travelling at approx 250ft per second !
