News from The Associated Press

An Asiana Airlines flight from Seoul, South Korea, crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, forcing passengers to jump down the emergency inflatable slides to safety. It was not immediately known whether there were any injuries.

The Boeing 777 was supposed to land on runway 28 left at the airport, said Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown. She said the sequence of events was still unclear, but it appeared the plane landed and then crashed.

Since the TV coverage clearly showed the entire tail section gone, probably into the bay, why the accounting could not have been better is unclear to me.

All passengers now accounted except one (1); two are dead.
