[toepick]

A Boeing 777 - my god, I hope there are survivors.

So scary

Since it was while landing, hopefully that means most people will be ok.

There's a link to a youtube video. The plan appears to be upright.

The AP says that a video shows people using the emergency slides. I can't imagine how terrifying that must be. hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SAN_FRANCISCO_AIRLINER_CRASH?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2013-07-06-15-14-51

(Absolutely not trying to make light of this very scary tragedy) But my husband is VERY impressed w/ the gbcn ears to the ground, & getting tuned in right as the news broke on CNN. Thanks ladies. Hoping for the best...

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

Hoping for the best. Plane crashes are my worst fear. I hope everyone is able to walk away.

[CityLights]

CNN had an eye witness say the plane started "cartwheeling". Terrifying

Hopefully, this guy is for real and everyone is OK:

Right?  I get my news from here, then I go to the different news sites.  

Anyway, the link that fuckstick posted said that it might be a cargo plane?  I'm really hoping for that.  This whole thing is terrifying.   

Twitter said something like 280 adults and "an infant" on board. Of course the source is Twitter but it is Asiana airlines, I think that is commercial.

290 passengers. : (

Hopefully everyone is ok or walks away with minor injuries... These images are really scary, though.

Msnbc reporting plane landed at bad angle, flipped, and ran off runway and caught on fire. But at least some people are walking out of the plane.

Anyone remember the Sioux Falls, IA crash in 1989? That one did similar...and lots of people walked away. I am hoping and praying the same happens here, and I am glad there appears to be survivors.

We are watching the coverage while waiting for our flight right now.

Twitter told me at least 15 minutes before CNN started broadcasting.

[Miss Phryne Fisher]

The footage of the plane on CNN is terrifying.

[joshlyman]

I just saw this - holy fucking shit

[snickers]

Awful

[10nille]

I wonder if he hit the wall on landing. Seems to be a miracle if everyone getting out alive is true!

[goaskalice]

We're heading to the airport now. Crashing is one of my biggest completely irrational fears. I hope everyone is ok.

[ginger]

Oh how I pray every really is alive.

Our best friends are on a Boeing 777 right now on the way to Hong Kong to finally bring home their adopted daughter...*This is irrational, they will be fine, everyone getting on planes now are going to be fine*

[iammalcolmx]

My friend is an ATC and I am about to ask him how the fuck does a airplane tail come off? Landing is dangerous enough!

[Deleted]

The plane hit the beginning of the runway/right where the water ends. The tail is floating is the ocean.

This is irrationally scaring me even though most people appear to be ok. The BF was just on this exact flight when he came home from his last deployment. My sisters are FAs so I know flying is safe, but this one really scared me.

Saying a few prayers...and leaving for beer feat. Weird, but timely for me.

www.liveatc.net/listen.php. Here is the atc recording, just select 1800-1830z. The aircraft checks in about 20 and it sounds like the incident happens at 22.

That had to be so crazy for the approach controller with having to divert all those aircraft. I have a couple of friends that work at norcal, I'll have to see if any were working.
