Live feed from the helicopter, no talking: Plane crashed upon landing at San Francisco Intl. airport | Fox News Video
I'm sure security cameras will be interesting.

Mary Schiavo, former head of the DOT, just spoke on CNN and said that it appeared they were "too heavy to land and probably on the wrong place on the glide slope." Case closed. Lol....

Pictures indicate that the aircraft touched down well short of the runway displaced threshold. Tail may have come off when it hit the rocks between the water and runway.
CNN "experts" report "heavy?" landing and the wheels may have "slipped?" That's when I turn off the sound and just look at the pictures.

It's painful listening to the news' "aviation experts" talk on the news.

According to CNN Coast guard reporting possible recovery operation of a body in or near the water. Hopefully wrong.

The only reason those other airlines are hiring now, is because their Age 65 retirements have come earlier. I have several friends that fly for United. They tell me the operation is a trainwreck. A friend of mine on the B737 waited 3 hours in ORD for brakes to arrive. That's one of UALs biggest hubs! And they didn't have replacement parts?
And I don't think Emirates will EVER have a base anywhere but in the UAE. Those pesky unions would impose actual contractual obligations, thereby reducing their efficiencies and eating into their profits.

And the 9s didn't do well in ATL either from what I can remember. Airliners like to be near parts and when they get separated for too long reliability comes down. I think UAL had a not great reliability on their 744s so they moved maintenance to one location in SFO to improve it. Or so I read.
