UPDATE: Two dead, one missing in San Francisco plane crash

Boeing crash12

Two people died after a Boeing 777 from South Korea crashed Saturday upon landing at San Francisco’s airport, sending up a huge fireball, shedding its tail and spinning before screeching to a stop.

Asiana Airlines Flight 214 left Seoul’s Incheon International Airport earlier Saturday, according to FlightAware, a website that offers tracking services for private and commercial air traffic. An airline spokesman in Seoul told CNN that 291 passengers and 16 staff members were aboard when it crashed around 11:30 a.m. (2:30 p.m. ET).

    Why are you all so petty, grow up and stick to the story at hand. Do we know who is next? We have to sympathize with the family who have lost their love one ones. Those who are injured to get well. And hope the staff on board this airline will get medical and mental help. This is not easy for no one involved.

    How sad two teenagers died. All the same, thank God the majority of them lived. It could have been worst. There are injuries which I hope the injured will recover from in time. A big lawsuit is looming.

    They reached their destination; then BOOM. One death hurts – but I’m truly happy and thankful that almost of all the passengers survived. Thank you Jesus. When we fly we never know. Only the birds know.

      This is not the first time this occurred. It occurred in Antigua and Dominica and in other countries. They crashed when nearing their destination and upon landing.

      Probably not. He may be in California. He must be singing: “I left my heart in San Francisco.” :lol: :lol: :lol:

    That’s some sad news. Let’s pray for the families of the deceased and for speedy healing physically and emotionally for the survivors and their families.

    How come, I’m only learning of 2 people dead on DNO and nothing is being mentioned on CNN and FOX NEWS about deaths. Are you all sure people died?

    Admin: You will notice that we provided a link to a site where you can read the full story. It is an American website.
