(inaudible) >> so the plane originated from shang hi, china and a stop in

soeul, korea. >> 291 people on the plane and you said that (inaudible) >> yes. (inaudible) this is a work in progress. 291 passengers given to us from the airline with 16 crew for a total of three where are seven. and 48 transported to area hospitals and we had 190 that came to the san francisco international. i am told that the number is changing, 82 have been transported. >> correct. that's my understanding that it

came from asiana airline. originally the plane started in shang hi, china to soeul, korea. (inaudible) (inaudible) >> the planes are landing and taking off. the runways are in operation. >> so i know mr. martin from the airport talked about a 5:30 press conference and this is a interesting concern and while we are working to account for someone. it is a tragic day, give us time and patience so we can get the numbers for you and give you the accurate and upto date information. i don't know how many critical at this time. >> do you know anything more about what went wrong?

>> i think those questions you are asking, we got the call at 11 time time 34 and it is just a few hours afternoon. and ntsb will come work with the fbi. it is unrolistic to give you the answer to that. (inaudible) >> and just to comment on the status of the airport. weather conditions were as we continue to have them at this time. weather conditions were clear in san francisco airport. all aircraft were arrivingousing -- arriving using visual flight. we are resuming normal operation. we'll have a follow-up broefing

at 5:30. >> that was a new's conference happening in san francisco international airport. and now confirm there are two fatalities as a result of the crash. the asiana airline flight headed from south korea to san francisco. and also of note, not everyone is accounted for. and we can take you through those numbers from the four chief. joanna white as she was speaking, she said this flight, there were 291 passengers on board along with 16 crew. that would be a total of 307 people on board of this flight. 48 of those were transported initially when the plane crash happen to area hospitals.

48 people. 190 people were taken to a safe zone in the airport itself. of those people they were classified as green, meaning their injuries were minor. out of those 190 people taken to the safe zone, 82 were transported to the hospital. that brings the total number of people hospitalized from this crash at 130. doing the math. 48 transports and 190 people taken to the safe zone, that is 238 people accounted for at this point who were on the flight. some of the passengers are still unaccounted for. robert mark a 30 year veteran of

the aviation industry and a former airline pilot and he joins us by phone. thank you for joining us. >> you are most welcome. were you able to listen in the news conference as well? >> absolutely. you have been through things like this before and anything that jumped out to you as to what thi were not sharing with us. >> i never experienced an accident from the cockpit side. they are erring on the side of caution. i think the most important point, it sounds like there were a lot of the survivors and we have to recognize the flight attendants and pilots that were able to react quickly. it doesn't sound like they had much of a warning at all that

the plane would land short of the runway. in the end of the new's conference they spoke about the weather conditions, saying it was all clear at the time of the crash, and the pilots were using visual flight rules when landing. can you describe that to us a little more? >> sure, in poor weather conditions, they will use autopoilt and the computer flies the airplane down to minimums and where we will break out of the clouds and so the runway and the pilot turns the autopilot off and land manually. on visual days like this, we like to fly because we don't depend on the computers. it is fairly normal for the pilot to be hand flying and

maneuvering the throttles. and i was looking at the descent rate of the flight. it was extremely high. i grant you, this is their particular interpretation of the radar data that was coming from sfo, they showed a high rate of descent of 1400 a minute. that means it was approaching the ground quickly. >> what would be going on as a pilot, speaking as a pilot, what would be going on with the plane that caused that to happen? >> either the pilots might have been high and pulled the power on the engines back and let the airplane come down little faster

and expected to push the power pack up to bring it back up to a normalality to youed or there could have been something wrong with the engine that the thrust went down and they had to try to figure out how to get the airplane to fly on one engine. >> that being said. there are reports and i talked about it earlier today when the pictures were shown. i don't know if you are -- the other engine is gone. either under the plane, you can't see it. one engine appears that the fire may have broke out in the opposite side of the plane. but the emergency chouts -- chutes were open. >> the gourmet have been sheared. it could have been sheared off when it hit the dike.

>> i have not seen the missing engine. >> if it is in where the debris is, right past the dike, it is probably going to be because that strike the dike as well and sheared off. >> okay, it was very interesting as i did a little bit of research, i did annarticle on boeing's in house magazine and the pilot published an article and in it pointed out in in addition to other safety precautions taken beaumonting, some of the sen77 models imported a tail strike protection system and used a combination of software and hardware to protect the plane. >> what would that involve.

it sounds like it is not going to be something that comes in this particular accident. >> the tail strike is when the airports are over the run weigh, the pilots don't get the nose up too high making a soft landing to impress the passengers and they strike the tail. but in this situation, it locks like the belly of the aircraft strike that doik and once that happen nothing would save them. >> thank you for joining us. and we appreciate the insight. >> and continuing coverage of the crash landing of a boeing 777 in san francisco. confirmed two people are dead and several unaccounted for. and up next, we'll talk to someone who witnessed the crash. stay with us. uh-oh! guess what day it is??

>> i am heather childers in for harris faulkner. it is the time for the top of the nows. we have new information on the crash of asyappa airlines flight 214. the boeing 777 from soeul, it originated in shanghai, china

with a stop off in south korea and headed to san francisco, crash landing this afternoon, video showing the fusel age burned away and tail gone and engine missing. 291 passengers were on board. the san francisco fire chief confirmed two people were killed and others unaccounted for and the mayor saying that as well. we are hearing for more witnesses of the crash of the boeing 777 including one woman who was on board, on board of another plane quarter mile of the asiana flight 214 when it made a crash landing. she managed to snap pictures and she joins us now. margaret, what were you thinking when you saw the plane coming down in flames?

>> the whole thing was pretty surreal. everyone on my plane was just in shock. 0 i am in the airport and it is loud. >> margaret, you are breaking up. if you could stand stillbe able connection a little better. what were you saying in reference to the first initial response. >> it was surreal and we were in shock when we first saw it. >> you were about a quarter of a mile on board another plane. >> yes, i was coming from fres no in to san francisco and we were the last plane to land right before this one and we hit a little turbulence which jolted the plane down to the left pretty bad but our pilot corrected it before we hit the ground and then they had to compensate by slamming on the

brakes aggressively and we turned perpen dickurally to the strip on the runways and we stopped to wait for the plane to come in and it came down. >> that is interesting about the turbulence coming down. you heard the weather was clear and winds were light. did the pilot say anything about the possibility of turbulence. sometimes they say make sure you stay buckled up. did you hear anything like that? >> no. the poilt didn't say anything, and we were shaken up from our landing because it was not the smothest and our poilt didn't say anything even after he saw the crash. >> did you have to sit on the plane for a little while and were you able to go into the airport immediately. >> we sat in the plane for close to an hour.

>> what were other passengers or hearing about what was going on. >> we could see it was a small plane and we were right there, and we were just trying to so if people were getting off which we didn't so anybody, so it was very -- >> yeah, did you so emergency crews going by responding? >> yes, every four truck and blfrnss and police. they had the whole crew out there. >> did you ever think you would see anything like this firsthand? >> no, of course not. >> of coursely, it would make you thankful that your plane landed safely. >> our hearts were beating from our landing. >> it was coming so fast at us. i thought the plane was going to

crash into us? >> we heard other witnesses talking about the angle of the plane. what about the angle of the plane itself? did it seem odd or sharply directed toward the runway or away from the runway itself? >> i didn't so too much of the angle because i was on the back side. it did go into the dirt, so i am assuming it was to the right a little ways. i didn't see too much. >> nothing about the angle but it was traveling extremely fast to you. >> i saw it right when it hit the ground? >> did you hear anything, we heard reports was possible explosion and did you hear anything that sounded like that? >> when it hit, it was too the center and back and it almost bounced and then i saw a engine

fly off in the center divider. >> that would explain the missing engine. we have all wondered where the engine went. the plane bounced and hit on the back end and the engine fly off. >> the center divider in between the two-run ways are parallel area. i see the engine flew up. >> he said it was a engine. >> marget, thank you so much. and you provided us with new information this evening and we appreciate it and all of the eyewitness accounts that came in and thank you, we are glad you landed safely. >> i am, too. >> the scone outside of san francisco general hospital and that hospital reporting that they have ten people right now

that they are treating and i am hesitant to say passengers, we are not sure if they are crew members. ten people at the hospital and ten critical and additional 17 patients that are currently being assessed. this is the third wave of patients expected to a ratify. they have seen burns and fractures and internal injures and patients who needed to go immediately to the operating room. and so as we get information about patients taken to all of the area hospitals, we'll continue to bring that to you. >> of the national transportation safety board launching an investigation in what caused the crash landing. we heard the head of the ntsb and this is what she said about the early stages of the investigation. >> we'll be looking at everything. we'll gather the facts before we

reach conclusion. ntsb investigations are thorough and we'll gather information and provide that to the media as soon as possible. >> and joining me is dr. gross, who is a former ntsb member and he has made his way to the studio. i spoke with you on the phone. and thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. >> thank you, hoether. >> you heard all of the information as it unfolded and developed in the afternoon. talk to me first about the passengers who managed to survive and now being treated. the extent of the injuries would probably be we are told burn injuries and things of that magnitude. and how surprised were you that so many got off of the plane and survive? >> i am shocked because the first photographs from the air indicated the whole fuselage had

ignited in fire. that fire came later and they were able to get off. there is a number of blessings to talk about. it is wonderful thing that it was good weather. beyond the weather, there was the fact that the aircraft broke up slowly after knocking the tail off. and the tail came off in an ideal place in a structural point of view. if you look at the end of the airplane and so the pressure bulkhead and that's where it broke off. that protected everybody in the aircraft that were passengers and that is another blessing. and the slowing of the aircraft and the engine came off in the left side halfway down there. because it separated when it did, it was not a fire source it

looked as if the fire probably ignited by the number two engine on the right side that is crunched up by the fusleage. >> it looks that way. i mentioned that earlier. there is a video on the you report and you can see the initial fire was burning from the one engine that you are looking on the pictures right now and you can see the burn area on the side of the plane and travelled upward and allowing people to escape on one side of the plane. the opposite side. and we are talking a little bit about the tail there and you can see. you referred to that as a bulkhead area and it is open where the tail separated. the tail itself, part was in the water in the top of the runway, the end of the runway, and spread apart in pieces throughout the runway leading to

the crash site. >> what do you think happen? >> i think he landed short of that and we have to pursue the reasons for the tail low landing. the captain could have been incapacitated and he had a high descent rate of 1400 feet a second coming down. 1400 feet a minute coming down and in so doing, he might have just overshot and knocked the tail off. but there could be an overroadway of the autolanding system on the aircraft. he was probably handling the aircraft himself at the time. >> we appreciate your insight as always. >> we'll have more reaction and

how it is impacting other airports, stay with us. you know throughout history, folks have suffered from frequent heartburn. but getting heartburn and then treating day after day is a thing of the past. block the acid with prilosec otc, and don't get heartburn in the first place.

>> i looked over and saw the scomplaen the fusleagea the a high angle from the ground and facing upward. it was 45 degrees and the tail

assembly had been broken loose and broken away from the fusleage. >> that flight was coming in quickly. 1400 foot per second. and as we hear from the people who witnessed the crash. and we are getting plenty of reaction from the fa a, and other investigators. elizabeth is live in washington. what is next for the investigators? >> we heard from the ntsb chair woman about how extensive the investigation will be. members of the time are loving washington d.c. and heading to the bay area. throw investigators are on the west coast. they will take in to account air traffic control and weather and maintenance issues.

inside of the aircraft they will pick apart data recorders and they will work with the faa and boeing. and could it be cuzzed by pilot error. she said there is more that needs to be done. >> and the president has been made aware of the situation, he will be updated as more information becomes available. >> elizabeth, we know that the runway is on the bay, has there been other issues there before? >> you are right. it is right on the water. if you ever landed there, it is gorgeous. but the up to the last-minute you can so the bay. there are no reported incidents related to the runway. this is the first major commercial jet crash in the u.s. in a decade. and the first jet commercial

airliner crashing in the san francisco airport. one was an inflit fire or coalition and last one was a landing gore issue. asiana airline system one of south korea's major carriers and there are only two crashes since the airline was founded. that is not including the accident from today and it appears that the triple seven crashed upon landing. and the boeing aircraft is reserved for long range plane trips and carrying passengers longer than 12 hours. it is a long rod. >> they will be heading up the investigation. thank you so much. and so what went wrong in san francisco international airport? a team of federal investigators prepares for the gruelling task of uncovering the facts.

>> we now continue with expanded coverage of today's deadly crash of the asiana airline at san francisco international airport. a time of investigators en route to the scone. the go team will look at a number of possible causes including mechanical problems and pilot error and weather conditions at the time of the crash. you are taking a look at a live picture from san francisco international where a flight is just coming in. we heard earlier that two of the

runways have now been reopened there in san francisco international. this particular crash happening in runway 28l. and two of the runways have reopened and flights are now landing. njoining us from washington is chuck nash. he graduated from the naval operation safety course and investigated aircraft accidents. we are happy to have you with us today. thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. nwe'll repeat for the viewers what we know at this point. we know 291 passengers and 16 crew members. and two fatalities at this point and captain nash, what you have seen in the initial images as it unfolded. we know from witness reports

that the plane was coming in very quickly and coming in fast and other witnesses say at a high angle and we know that the tail portion is broken off and appears to have broken off initially in the top of the runway and pieces of it in the water itself and other portions strewn around the debris fold and finally ended up landing there in the grassy area between the runways. >> it is clear from the debris evidence that the aircraft landed short of the runway. in fact there is a displaced threshold on the runway where is there is an area short of the runway. it is hard surface and you are not supposed to land on it. and those are the yellow

chevrons that are in the pictures. for whatever reason, the aircraft came in low with a high rate of the descent and smacked the tail on the sea wall there and broke the f- part of the aircraft off. you can so in the debris field horizontal stabilizers for a lack of the way to strieb it. the little wings in the back. they are horizontally stabilizers and they broke off and laying next to each other on the runway. and the airplane without the tail started to sloyd and so the aircraft was sliding to the left and the nose was spinning to a right and it came to a halt with that slide. it was fortunate that when the airport did that, it did not

clip or cart wheel. it made one sloyd with a 35 to 40 nose turn off right and came toide with a 35 to 40 nose turn off right and came to rest also one of the engines, i believe it was the left engine broke off of the plane and landed in another area. captain, we'll keep you with us and bring you back after a quick break. our coverage of the international flight in san francisco continues to coming in the top of the hour, the latest on the injures and victims and what we know. stay with us. ♪ beneful medley's... ...in tuscan, romana, and mediterranean style varieties.
