CA - Boeing 777 from S. Korea Crashes at San Francisco SFO

[kai]

We are watching the live air feed on foxnews.com and you can see in the rocks by the bay where I assume the plane scrapped across them right before the runway. Scary!!!

SFO has always been one of my least favorite airports to land at. You are going down, and down, and down over the bay and just when you are convinced that you are going to land in the water- BAM you are on the runway. Not for the faint of heart!

Prayers for all of the people involved!

KTVU reporting tail hit the embankment at the end of the runway. Too low, too fast.




eta - also plane was off center of runway as evidenced by debris left on ground

thank You BunnyHop - Just wanted to point out that your twitter feed is from SoCal (Southern California)- that's about 500 miles from SFO, so you will be getting your info a bit delayed. Not nit-picking - just FYI.

Every time I land at SFO I'm afraid that's what's going to happen. Miraculous that so many people escaped!

Curious since this is a foreign based carrier if the pilot was unfamiliar with the airport and where he should be landing. Or it could be something mechanical with the aircraft. With the huge volume of take-offs and landings at SFO this definitely is not the norm.

EMS dealing with 75 patients - trying to arrange transport...
