Got no link yet. Have it from the danish news that a Boeing 777 crashed during landing in San Francisco

The plane should be in fire and they don't know if there's any dead or wounded

Does not appear to be too many details yet.

Best wishes for the passengers, crew, and people on the ground.

As strange as it may sound, if you're going to have an unintended interaction with terrain anywhere, the best place to do it is at an airport, the emergency services are top notch and drilled regularly. Here's hoping for no casualties and a swift resolution to the situation.

There are reports of "Evacuation slides could be seen extending from one side of the aircraft". That might be a good sign that at least some were able to get out.

From what I can see, it looks like he was too low and slow, he dragged the tail and it broke the arse end off. May all be safe.
