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.

The Fox video seems to show the plane very early on 28L, only a short way down the runway. So it did all those cartwheel and other things pretty quick, in maybe 100 yards, unless I'm looking at the video wrong.

pprune.org has a lot of highly knowledgeable people speaking about this - and some who aren't !
One comment (Admiral):
I know it's early, but it looks like they slammed the tail into the concrete rising from the sea, so landing too low and early.
But why did the roof burn? Andnot the bottom?

More recent photos show the grass has been sprayed down. First live videos - the ones I saw before posting my comment - showed pax walking off a smoking plane and emergency personnel just observing. Snark if it makes you feel better.

Interesting how the entire tailcone and vertical assembly popped off clean from the fuselage. It apparently came off at the moment the main gear hit the ground, perhaps from the force of the landing, perhaps because the tailcone hit the ground at that moment -- suggesting a crew trying to recover from a too-low sink rate which brought them plane into contact with the runway too soon. They may have been trying to fight back by pitching the nose up.

There were also 12 crew members on board, which makes 290 passengers -- 1 infant and 12 crew members.
