At Least Two Dead,1 Missing After Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 Crashes Lands

Asiana Airlines Flight 214, crash landed at San Francisco International Airport.  Two are confirmed dead.  Over  60 were said to be unaccounted for but that number was quickly reduced.

Incredibly, a number of people appeared to have walked off the plane after the crash. After the crash landing, the plane was missing its tail, and the roof of the midsection of the cabin was burnt out.  Initial eyewitness reports seemed to state that the cabin may have flipped on its back in the course of the landing,  more recent eyewitness accounts dispute this, stating that pieces were falling off the plane, and the body of the plane spun around in a circle but did not flip.   No information about the cause of the crash landing has been given, yet.

More details to come.
