Flightglobal.com reports that the 2006-registered aircraft HL7742 had accumulated 35,700h on 5,185 cycles at 31 March. The 777-200ER, one of 12 in the Asiana fleet, was powered by the Pratt & Whitney PW4090 engines.

It reports that the debris field extends from the apron of the runway to the remains of the main fuselage and wings lying several hundred feet ahead of the runway numbers. Portions of the aircraft’s tail fin and horizontal stabilizers are scattered on the runway apron.
The National Transportation Safety Board said on its Twitter feed that it was sending an investigative team to the scene of the crash.
A video posted earlier on Youtube showed smoke coming from the jet on the tarmac. Passengers could be seen jumping down the inflatable emergency slides. Subsequent aerial footage showed the extent of the damage.
Here’s the LiveATC.net transcript:
Flight 214 cleared into land 28L at 18:21:12 Zulu
Flight 214 calls ATC
Tower: “214 heavy, emergency vehicles are responding”
Flight 214 calls again. Can’t make out what is said.
Flight 214 calls again. Can’t make out what is said.
Tower: “Emergency vehicles are responding. We have everyone on their way.”
Another aircraft calls ATC, “We see people that need immediate attention. They are alive and they are walking around.”
Flight 214 was landing on Runway 28L.
FRiends, download and save. This may be scrubbed aka sent down the memory hole if it was anything but an accident. Or rather will!
I always have a hard time hearing radio chatter - my ears hear high frequencies too loudly - so I have a hard time making this out. But after several attempts, I hear “what happened?” and “the tail fell off.”
Help? Anyone else? (I really do suck at hearing and understanding these recordings.)
Seems to be a horrible pilot error landing short of the runway if it was even the right runway .
It was the correct runway. A United 747-400 was holding right there, waiting to take off. The crashing 777 went right by them...

Wow, interesting pics. Thanks.
The comms from the ASIANA aircraft are unintelligible, but there isn’t any indication of something amiss until after impact. Whatever the problem was it occurred after the airplane was cleared to land fairly close to the runway.
there is a photo of the runway debris path of the plane - looks like he caught the tail on the rocks right at waters edge -
Looks like accident - maybe pilot error, maybe wind sheer - the winds at that airport can be hair raising -
Thanks.
Yeah, he hit the sea wall with the tail...
That slammed the nose down onto the runway...
The damaged tail section broke off...
The left engine broke off...
Lots of other stuff broke off..
It spun like a top down the runway area...
Came to rest with the right engine up against the fuselage...
The engine was on fire, and the fire spread to the fuselage...
Most were out before the fire spread, though...
Wow. Great analysis.
And it explains the pre-crash “boom” some witnesses heard.
So surreal.
I was going to go to Point Bonita and would have passed by there about the time that thing “landed “.
Decided to stay home and work on business.
Maybe next week....
Naw, skip that. I’m to Ventana or down to Camarillo.
There is a restaurant called Robin’s and My favorite dish Is a chicken and chutney plate. Been going there for more twenty years and just luv it.
Dang. Now i’m hungry....
The 2 deceased (RIP) bodies were found on the runway, have been listed as ‘passengers’ and ‘unidentified’. But who usually sits far aft? Flight attendants? Is that one of the galleys back there? Never been in one of the ne planes. (Haven’t flown since ‘96) There were a lot of personal effects - suitcases, handbags, clothing etc - in the early film of the debris field just after the jetty boulders on the tarmac.
I am almost sure I heard him say:
My name is
Trayvon...
Benjamin...
Martin
HAAALLLLPPPP!!!
Not funny, Oscar. People died. Many in the hospital. Some critical. Grow up a little hunh?

Didn’t mean to offend.
I was on flight deck duty on the Forrestal when an A-7’s real stabilizer separate a guy’s “haircut” from the rest of his body.
So I learned at an early age to deal with tragic things with somewhat less than total sobriety.
Meh...That was a couple of generations ago.
I’ve experienced other things to make jokes over since then!!!

B.H.O. is the main one that comes to mind.

Matter of fact, I was in Seoul’s Airport waiting for this very same flight the day that Kim Jon Ugly stated his intentions to start his war with SoKor within 24 hours. That was pucker up time til we were wheels up. And nearly had the gate agent convinced that it would be a good idea for her to go to SFO with me.
I didn’t want to watch the news coverage because I was imagining 300 dead burnt people still strapped in there. Such happy relief that almost everyone survived. They could have said so much earlier!
