oh my gosh I hope no one is harmed!
It doesn't seem so bad that someone could die - unless they inhale too much smoke - but I assume that it started grounded and everyone's off.
I hope so anyway
It was coming in for landing so there would have been an impact of some sort. Some what reminds me of the British Airways 777 crash at Heathrow a few years ago. Hopefully no one has died and were able to get off the plane quickly.Quote:

One of the passengers, he reports the majority of them are fine.
My brother was at SFO just 1 week ago when he went to Hawaii
oh wow okay i take it back. QUite a fair bit of damage ;s
All the passengers seem quite calm/not running etc so I assume they're not in too much danger etc. Glad to see most unharmed though.
And thus my fear of flying worsens...
I can only assume that by the time the fire made that much damage to the plane, all the passengers were off?
Hopefully anyway.
Looks like it, apparently the Emg. crew reports that 0 lives have been lost.Quote:

Reports coming in that at least two people have died. If it's true - May they R.I.P :(
Oh dear, my friend flew to Hong Kong the other day too.
RIP to those who have died x

BBC is still saying no confirmed casualties. Looks pretty bad in that picture, luckily people got off quickly.

If it's true, RIP ;_;
Was a few of the American news websites but information is changing. Reports are now coming in via Sky News and Reuters that 1 person has died.Quote:

Some passengers are still unaccounted for according to this press conference.
Numbers are changing thoughQuote:

Someone managed to get the impact on video:

Credit to the strength of the Boeing 777 airframe then.
Not the best thing to see when you're 10 days away from flying to America.
I'm surprised that there weren't more deaths...
