While there are not many details yet, it looks like an Asiana 777 flying from Incheon to San Francisco (flight 214) had an accident upon arrival. Other reports say it was a “crash,” but since details are limited as of now it’s anyone’s guess.

Here’s a video:

And a few pictures from Twitter:

For those that want to listen to the live feed, you can do so here.

This is my worst nightmare, and I’m sure I’m not alone. My thoughts are with those onboard and their families as this unfolds…

Its a shame that the pilot was that unable to land safely. Reports seem to be that he was too low. Shame that people lost their lives due to the pilot's errors.

My thoughts and prayers to those in this accident. Accidents happen in cars, bicycles, trains, buses, and on foot. Live life.

My sister landed on UA852 four minutes before this plane on the same runway (NRT>SFO..she was returning from SIN). She would not have noticed the OZ flight had a problem unless her husband took the wrong off-ramp at the airport to go home to Cupertino in Silicon Valley and they both saw smoke at the airport and realized something went terribly wrong with another plane. I'm sitting on Asiana F class award tickets NRT>ICN>LAX seated in 3A on Asiana on 747's in early November. I've decided not to cancel my flights. OZ will probably be one of the safest airlines to fly on after this terrible incident. So sad for those that were lost or injured today and my thoughts go out to them. Unfortunately, we are all mortal and this could happen to any of us on any flights we are on now or in the future...I could change my flights, but what happens if I change to another flight that has an even worse ending? Life is risky but worth these dangers is the moral of the story...
