Plane crash at San Francisco Intl

#1 Postby brunota2003 » Sat Jul 06, 2013 6:28 pm

A Boeing 777-200, carrying 291 passengers and 16 crew (307 people total), crashed during landing this morning (local time).

Confirmed:
2 fatalities
Not everyone is accounted for (hearing 60+ people)
48 people initially transported to hospitals with injuries (immediately following the crash).
190 with "minor injuries" taken to a safe zone, of which 82 have now been transported to area hospitals
130 total now hospitalized

Means 238 people (out of 307), who were on the flight, are currently accounted for...leaving 69 people missing at this point (Fox News broke down the numbers following a press conference).

That is really a shame. My thoughts are going out to those people. I'm amazed and thankful that more did not perish due to that fire.

My brother was flying into San Francisco for a job and was supposed to be the next one to land or one of the next ones to land, but he was diverted to Los Angeles.
