    Will remove the question mark when I know more, not sure how much I trust tweeted news reports anymore. Don't have time just now to go look for me, so please add to this if you find more

    On FOXNews now.

    Buddy of mine is an commercial pilot. He's at SFO now and had pictures of it up on Facebook before TV reports of it.

    It's an Asiana Airlines 777. Flight was coming in from Seoul.

    That may be true, but he has no way of confirming that.

    Tail section apparently broke off during landing. Sounds like its nose was up too high on landing, tail hit first, broke off and cartwheeled. Main fuselage remained upright but fire broke out on the starboard wing.

    I see the slides deployed, but there's the big holes in the roof ...

    Don't know what FNC is doing, but whg is CNN not picking up some of the local coverage. I'm seeing better info from FB friends in the Bay area on fatalities/injuries.

    Seeing video of the wreckage for the first time now. Absolutely amazing anybody survived this.

    Two dead, "several" unaccounted for is the latest.
