OZ 214 ICN-SFO (reg no HL-7742), a 2006 Boeing 777-200ER with P&W PW4090 engines; flew ICN - KIX - ICN immediately prior (not as OZ 214). 291 passengers and 16 crew on board. 3 people dead, 48 seriously injured, 132 less so.
Aircraft landed short on approach (VFR weather, ILS out of service, PAPI working) impacting the seawall delimiting runway 28L with main landing gear and then the tail 11:28 PDT, careering down the runway to a stop and ensuing fire. The empennage and both engines separated from the fuselage, and fire from an oil drip in engine no. 2 burnt a significant part of the upper forward fuselage.
Runway 28L / 10R was closed until 1700 PDT 12 July; all SFO runways are open.

Fox News currently has some great aerial footage showing the aftermath:

I'm amazed at how 'cleanly' the tail seems to have separated from the fuselage.
Appears to be significant fire damage to the top of the fuselage - based on some of the initial pictures, it appears that the fire started well after evacuation.

My pilot son is watching the aerial shots of the wreckage with me. He points out that the left inboard flaps on the aircraft, which would normally have been deployed 25-30 degrees for landing, are missing. This suggests the aircraft rolled left on landing possibly in response to burst tires in the main gear on touchdown, the flaps contacting the ground and separating.
Contrary to the CNN witness' earlier testimony the left wing did not separate from the fuselage but the left engine nacelle is missing. Also the entire vertical stabilizer is missing.

Eyewitness is incorrect. Both wings are still intact. Only a portion of the tail is missing. Judging from the amount of damage and lack of casualties, I doubt this plane did a cartwheel as has been previously reported.

The tail appears to be in touchdown area of the runway.

The vertical stabilizer is located on the runway threshold, right before the piano keys, along with a lot of small debris. Runway will be out of action for many hours even though the bulk of the wreckage is on the grass. Aviation expert Jim Tilmon on CNN says this points to a short landing and possible control problem in the final phase of flight.
I would add that the BA 777 incident at LHR also involved a control / sink rate problem in the final phase of flight.

By the shot of the debris field, looks like the plane touched down short and into the landfill area just before the runway.

I am not attempting to speculate by any means, but the Fox News aerial coverage just panned back to the very end of the runway, immediately abutting the water, prior to what I (a lay person) would consider to be the true 'start' of the runway, and there is a tremendous amount of debris...
