From what I can find so far it says
"FAA confirms Boeing 777 plane crashed in San Francisco, tail wobbled, plane flipped, lots of burn damage on top, several people with burn injuries, plane crashed upon landing and the tail of plane came off pet eye witnesses, back end of plane missing, slide deployed on one side of emergency exit"
Hope the casualties rate will be minimal.No such thing as a good tax - Churchill
To make mistakes is human. To blame someone else for your mistake, is strategic.

Multiple red carded causalties enroute to area hospitals. Obvious impact at waters edge, water SAR efforts underway in case the missing tail area of the plane dumped anyone into the water. No open doors at the rear of the plane (out the hole in the back hopefully)
The Good
most reported injuries are yellow and green, have not heard of any blacks. The doors are open to the plane plus at least 3 emergency chutes deployed (2 are hard to see under white foam) showing evidence of evacuation. Ambulance rotation just got moved to staging only, no more [known] casualties at crash site.

The flight was from Seoul, Korea.

I would imagine that someone is going to have a picture or video of this plane coming in for the landing which will show what happened. There are several places along the Bayshore Highway and then Airport Road where plane watchers gather to watch operations. I, myself, have done so back in the 80's and 90's having both binoculars and camera. Best place is Bayfront Park right next to the action.
Just saw a photo where you could see the top of the tail and the two horizontal stabilizers right at the very beginning of the runway. Looks almost like a tail strike.Last edited by tbm3fan; 06 Jul 13,, 21:41.
