KCBS wrong, it was flight 214 from ICN.

Witness watching from the bayside Embassy Suites told CNN the plane appeared to land as normal, nose up, but on touchdown an unusually sizable puff of smoke emanated from the main gear, then the aircraft went out of control, cartwheeled, and there was a brief fireball. The left engine nacelle appeared to contact the ground, with the left wing separating.

No emergency vehicles awaited on scene so if an emergency was called on approach, it was not with much notice.
