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.

Nobody was taking off to the south. Flight 214 was landing from the south to the north, and the plan (had it not crashed) was that the UA 747 would take off in the same direction - to the north.
The typical prevailing winds at SFO are from the north, and that's why most of my landings and takeoffs at SFO for many, many years are from the south to the north on runways 28 Left or Right.

As the name indicates, runway 28 is not going north or south but east to west (27 would be precisely east to west)

19/1's are more north/south.

That's immediately what I thought as well. In my head I was imagining it skidding on its belly and spinning that way, I had no idea it went so vertical in its spin. I'm surprised no one on board has described it that way - though I don't know how well I could describe something like that if it had happened to me. I can't imagine being this videographer and seeing that in real life.
