Boeing 777 crashes at San Francisco International Airport

(CNN) -- A Boeing 777 operated by Asiana Airlines crashed while landing Saturday at San Francisco International Airport.
Flight 214 left Seoul's Incheon International Airport earlier Saturday and flew 10 hours and 23 minutes to California, according to FlightAware, a website that offers tracking services for private and commercial air traffic.

Anthony Castorani, who witnessed the flight land from a nearby hotel, said he saw the plane touch the ground then noticed a larger plume of white smoke.
"You heard a pop and you immediately saw a large, brief fireball that came from underneath the aircraft," he told CNN. "It began to cartwheel."

I've been watching the news about the plane crash. Amazing that it was not worse then it was.

Almost looks as it the tail hit the rocks at the edge of the water. NTSB will figure it out.

Looks like one 1 missing now. Only 3 or 4 fatalities. Much less deadly, thank goodness.
