All of the usual BS from CNN news reporters and eye witnesses who use misleading or incorrect terminology. The only facts at this time are that it was a landing accident and the aircraft departed the runway. Tail is missing, mid cabin roof burned out as a result of fire. Right engine separated and impacted fuselage forward of right wing as a result of crash damage, and left engine not visible in news video. Airplane is upright although gear appears collapsed despite some early news reports to the contrary. No sign of passengers, but at least one slide deployed aircraft left in front of wing.
Now news video shows aircraft hit short of runway, on rocky ledge just prior to displaced threshold....tail broke off and is lying short of beginning of usable runway. |
Asiana 777 crash landed at SFO
Looks like many got out. Airplane is upright but missing the tail. Fire has now consumed the mid section.

I am thinking that they had the spoilers out and hit the tail hard.

Looks like most got out. No reports of fatalities. |
Drudge is posting a Tweet from a passenger.

Wow...what a tragedy. Is there a link to this event?
|
There is a photo of both sides of the horizontal stab and vertical stab right at the beginning of the runway and a lot debris right of centerline. Looks like he hit just prior to the threshold.
