## Transcript

11: 34 am, Asiana flight 214 had been in the air just over ten hours. Passengers report the pilot increased engine power seconds before crashing. Seemed like we were a little bit high, and like we could see the tarmac down below us. And so we're coming down kind of sharp, and then right when it started to coast like for the landing, all of a sudden the engine was off. [ NOISE ], like you sped up all kinds, like you, the pilot knew he was short. The plane's tail struck the seawall at the very start of the runway, 28 left. The tail disintegrated, the engine on the left wing disappeared, the plane whipping sideways across the runway.

Witnesses report hearing an explosion then a large fireball, the plane's fuselage mostly intact finally came to a stop. The right engine next to the fuselage smoking. The back end is hit and flies up in the air and everybody's head goes up to the ceiling. And then it just kind of drifts for a little bit, probably a good 300 yards, and then tips over, fire starts, everybody's, you know, pushing the doors out. From the violent landing, passengers started to emerge. On this video shot by a witness in the terminal, you can see the plane's emergency chutes deployed and people using them to get off the plane.

And in this video from passenger David Yuan, a Samsung executive, it shows people some of them even holding onto their bags as they staggered from the plane. His tweet as shocking as the incident itself. I just crashed landed at SFO, tail ripped off, everyone seems fine, I'm okay, surreal. Witnesses shocked that anyone could survive. It just pancaked immediately and then it just kept sliding and sliding and sliding and then it, it, it finally stopped and you could see the fuselage had kept buckling and buckling many times. I'm surprised it didn't come apart all together. And it was unreal. Helicopter pictures show the trail of destruction, the impact on the stone embankment at the runway's beginning.

One set of landing gear wheels, the plane's stabilizers, the very tip of the tail, debris from the plane littering the runway. Officials say there was no sign of trouble before the plane crash, the weather ideal a clear day. All traffic using visual flight rules to land. Pilots say landing at San Francisco International can be tricky. This Google Earth image shows the final approach, runway 28 left and right, close to each other, the runway starting right at the water's edge.
