No reports of injuries, but it's early. Not good at all.

Looking at the live video, I can see the escape slide and even a staircase on one side of the plane. Maybe some people got out. Rerports are that the plane cartwheeled and it looks like the top is burned through, so I am sure there were may lives lost. I hope I am wrong.Originally Posted by GarthUte

This is encouraging news:
Looks like they were able to get off before the fire.A passenger on the Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 jet that crash-landed at San Francisco International Airport today said most of those aboard were unharmed.
In a brief phone interview with The Times, the passenger, who didn't want to give his name, said: "I just want their families to know. Most of the people seem OK and we're just letting the paramedics do their job."
The airport has been closed and it's unknown when it will reopen.
