Two killed, many injured as South Korean airliner crashes, burns in San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO |
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - An Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 with more than 300 people on board crashed on landing at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday after a flight from Seoul and burst into flames, and initial reports said two people were killed and over 70 injured.
Pictures taken immediately after the crash showed passengers streaming off the plane. TV footage from the air later showed the badly damaged fuselage of the Boeing 777 blackened by fire and the plane's tail broken off.
The airline said the plane had carried 291 passengers and 16 crew members.
That’s a little better.
