Haven't seen this on any of the big news agencies yet, but report on the web say a Korean Airlines Boeing 777 is on fire at the airport, no indication that it crashed, caught fire and whether accident or hostile act.

Came in at an angle and the tail clipped something, sending it cartwheeling down the runway

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It didn't cartwheel down the runway.  The wings are still attached, and it isn't just a bunch of pieces all over the place.  Stefanie Turner sucks as a witness.

From the pictures and info, it looks and sounds like they landed short and tore off the landing gear, then the tail hit, etc. 

E:  There's some sort of wall at the end of the runways in SFO?

They hit the seawall that seems to be at the very end of the runway and dragged the ass end of the plane until the tail came off.

Sounds like all but two of them survived.   Or maybe all of them.  I'm seeing both.
