A Boeing 777 operated by Asiana Airlines crashed while landing Saturday at San Francisco International Airport.
Flight 214 left Seoul's
Incheon International Airport earlier Saturday and flew 10 hours and 23
minutes to California, according to FlightAware, a website that offers tracking services for private and commercial air traffic.
Video taken soon after the crash and posted on YouTube
showed dark gray smoke rising from the plane, which appeared to be
upright. That smoke later became white, even as fire crews continued to
douse the plane.
A photograph posted to Twitter shows what appear to be passengers walking off the plane, some of them toting bags, as smoke rises from the other side.
Fire trucks were on site, while first responders could be seen walking outside the aircraft.
Evacuation slides could be seen extending from one side of the aircraft, from which there was no apparent smoke.
According to information on Asiana Airlines' website, the company has 12
Boeing 777 planes. They have a seating capacity of between 246 and 300
people and had a cruising speed of 555 mph (894 kph).
