Yikes.  Crashed while landing, and evacuation chutes deployed so hope it wasn't that bad.

Sounds like most, if not all passengers made it out.

[Scott34]

Looks like the plane just landed way short.  Wonder why.

 

Hope there are no deaths.

"BREAKING: @mibachktvu reports: San Francisco Fire Dept. source says "right now 2 fatalities #planecrash #SFO still not officially confirmed"

 

 

Ugh.

[Mile High Dreams]

Could have been much worse...lost its tail only 2 died?

[Kenny]

That sucks, but still miraculous that so few were hurt.

[Kenny]

Spoke too soon.  Sixty people are apparently unaccounted for.

[Tank]

Still one person unaccounted for. Over 100 injured and 2 dead.

Anyone know what happened to the tail section?

From what I heard, they landed short, and hit the sea/sound wall.  

 

F'in Asian drivers.  /obligatory

[Tank]

All passengers are now accounted for.

Yes, I know not to end a sentence with a preposition. Sue me.

Imagine if you are the plane on that tarmac, waiting in position to take off, and looking out the window and see that mess come in.

[Amazing Larry]

I'm surprised it wasn't more than 2 dead after seeing the way that plane almost did a cartwheel.

OK.

 

 

Now what?

How could he be that short on the landing? I wonder what went wrong.

They are saying the airports computers that help landing were down.  But then again, that computer has been down due to construction since June.

It was an Asian pilot.

It was the middle of the afternoon on a clear day. Could he not see the runway? Maybe he was unfamiliar with the airport. Hast to be some explanation.

Let it go, gentlemen

[Kenny]

Man, just watched that video.  Their reactions remind me of what my family says their reaction of what the Cerritos air disaster was like.  I was only an infant at the time, but we were at a gas station about a half mile from the neighborhood that the wreckage landed in.  Thankfully, this one ended with much less loss of life.
