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.

CNN (Richard Quest, no less) saying its OZ flight 214 from Seoul. Definately a passenger flight.

The Asiana website lists this as a 77L providing passenger service.

Plane burning, but passengers stopped to take their luggage. I hope that didn't delay evac for some passengers.

"Plane watching" eyewitness reporting normal landing but plane may have touched down too early, nose did not touch, plane bounced up then down, left wing broke off, then tail broke off on impact. Lots of smoke but little in the way of flames.

A flight spotting hobbyist just gave an excellent review on CNN. Appears like main landing gear collapsed just after touch down. No emergency service on standby indicating this was not a declared emergency landing. Rear landing gear failure?

Amazing to see a 777 with no tail.

Kudos to cabin crew for what seems to be an effectivve evacuation !

It looks like the fuselage is pretty together but the tail is def ripped off. The wings seems to be there.

Hopefully everyone is okay.

They better get some water or fire retardant on that brown grass fast, or it will go up, too. Conditions there very hot and dry.

My question is where is the tail? Is it in the water?
