Shocked there are so many survivors.

From what their showing on CNN now (aerial shots) thats pretty shocking. Looks more like a bomb exploded in the front passenger section

 

[BOSSMANPC]

They said the tail came off just before touch down and the view that I saw it looks true because the tail is short of the runway and all smashed up.

I'm sure most of the burn damage came after a lot of the passengers had been taken off. Watching both CNN and Fox. Fox showed the tail broken up short of the runway.

 

[puckhead]

a) holy shit
b) fucking woman takes the time to grab her suitcase.

 

[rares]

Sounds like there are no fatalities at all?

Would be pretty amazing with how that plane looks right now but I guess they got everyone out before the major fire(s)...

meanwhile, here's Lac-Mégantic, Quebec.
a train filled with crude oil derailed and went boom.
the entire town has been evacuated

Seems like they got everyone off the plane before the top burst into flames.

Well done, people.

Good to see all survived the plane crash.

Sorry I am going here but I saw that picture of the Asian person taking a picture of crash of an Asiana Airline plane and laughed...Boy stereotypes are a bad, bad thing.

1 person unaccounted for after San Francisco plane crash; 181 transported to hospitals, 123 not injured

glad that lady's luggage is OK though

 

[juliansteed]

Glad most are okay. I'm sure it's not what's on their mind right now but that will be quite the story to tell. I bet some of those people will never get on a plane again.

Gotta wonder what was in that luggage.

fuck, maybe this should have gotten its own thread.
The hospital was extra staffed for the incoming patients.... they never came

You're probably right puck. What a terrible accident they were just showing pictures on the news and it looks like that explosion leveled everything. Thoughts go out to the family members of the many people lost in this.

I read that at least one of the two girls that died was killed when hit by a responding emergency vehicle.

Possibly both of them


And that story of the hospital in Quebec was chilling.
