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.

Does insurance cover these situations for the airlines? When airlines lease, do they have the aircraft customized to match the rest of their fleet?

If they retire OZ 214 will they retire OZ 213?

Good catch. Pilot knew he was in trouble and declared an emergency before San Carlos. ATC confirmed that emergency vehicles were rolling to meet.

The plane taxiing for takeoff next to where touchdown occurred... are they just going to let it sit there for hours?

KTVU reporting 2 fatalities.

At least two people were killed Saturday when an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 crashed and burst into flames while landing at San Francisco International Airport, a fire department source told KTVU.

I would assume that 28R opens later this afternoon, once it has been thoroughly inspected and swept for FOD.

The plane is resting about 1000 feet from the end of the runway - it came to rest fairly quickly.

Apparently, a SFO fire source indicates two dead in the crash.

Will probably get towed back to the ramp at some point.

The live footage on CNN makes it look like it clipped the sea wall. Debris from there all through the displaced threshold.

I would think they would be fined by the FAA if that was the case. Heh heh heh...

Curious that the forward part of the fuselage looked largely intact in Mr. Downing's photo from an evacuated passenger early in this thread - and the evacuating passengers looking pretty good in the photo, all things considered - but the later news photos show the top a burned mess. One wonders if it was from radiated heat from the burning engine. Can't imagine those passengers looking so good unless the damage to the top of the fuselage occurred after they were off.

Notice the woman in blue? She saved her luggage. People died, but she saved her luggage.
