An Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 with 307 people on board crashed and burst into flames as it was attempting to land at San Francisco International Airport after a flight from Seoul yesterday, killing two people and injuring more than 180. Witnesses to Saturday’s crash said the tail of the plane appeared to hit the approach area of the runway, which juts out into San Francisco Bay, as it came in for landing.

 

The tail came off and the aircraft appeared to bounce violently, scattering a trail of debris, before coming to rest on the tarmac. [Link]
