Hit the seawall? Also looks like the GS on the left side was OTS !SFO 06/005 SFO NAV ILS RWY 28L GP OTS WEF 1306011400-1308222359 |
From what we can see it landed well short of the runway. Debris starts at the water. A tail strike is being talked about by witnesses.

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.

That's what the video footage looks like....the question now is why....

Just some facts...
Video shows the tail laying very near the approach end of the runway. Debris starts at the waters edge of the beginning of the runway. The rest of the aircraft is resting further down the runway off to the side. The rocks on the shoreline at the approach end have been disturbed. Looks like one of the main gear is near the approach end too. Weather is perfect.....calm and clear. Opinion / speculation... Landed short? Remember the British Airways 777 landing? I wonder if they suffered the same problem. Only time will tell. Now the important stuff... I hope everyone is safe. Edit...news is reporting everyone is safely off. Hope this is true. |
Landed there yesterday. ILS G/S are inop for 28R and 28L.

28L.

News reporting everyone is alive but injuries. Radar track seems to indicate a ballooned landing or botched go-around, as they gained 200 feet after touchdown.
