A Samsung executive was on board, He tweeted https://twitter.com/Eunner David Eun @Eunner 27m I just crash landed at SFO. Tail ripped off. Most everyone seems fine. I'm ok. Surreal... (at @flySFO) [pic] — https://path.com/p/1lwrZb | ||

This reminds me so much of the show Mayday on the Discovery channel... also, they are extremely lucky that the tail dropped at the airport, firefighters and ambulances must have been alerted pretty quickly I suppose, imagine if it separated above urban areas or something...! | ||

Sounds as if during landing the tail hit first. "Dropped" sounds like a poor choice of words, you can see the tail section still on the runway while the rest of the plane skidded of the runway. | ||

But bothers me is how incredibly shoddy the plane looks. Sure, it might have passed inspection but it looks incredibly shaky to me. | ||

"Dropped" sounds like a poor choice of words, you can see the tail section still on the runway while the rest of the plane skidded of the runway. This has just been confirmed on the stream, the tail did hit first. It sounds as if (from stream) that the angle of attack was way too high during approach? Did it perhaps stall? It's really ironic because I fly in an aeroclub and just today (like literally the same time this crash happened), someone who flew before me (on a different aircraft) had actually hit the tail for that exact reason, angle of attack way too high. o_o | ||
