They got 10 guys doing a slow walk up the runway. Looking for something.

Looks like the plane struck the very end of the runway, right where the pilings are. Horizontal stabilizer lying near the end of the run way. Looks like it hit the runway so hard it disintegrated the tail section.

There could be someone(s) missing. Cabin crew could have been back there.

Yeah they’re now performing a water search with a boat and helicopter, but at least they said search and rescue.

Plane broke apart right behind the area the cabin crew. Unless they fell out the hole they should be in the plane.

Fox reports everyone got off the plane.

now confirmed:
It hit the berm at the runway end. That means they were around 1000 feet short on landing.

Again, did someone forget to reset the altimeter to San Fransisco conditions?
