It's got no tail by the looks of it, apparently someone tweeted saying everyone is safe which is good news.

This is supposedly the plane in question.




This is another video just out of the plane burning

Apparently the tail dropped off and the plane flipped over, from eye witness reports

Because planes have not crashed since they were first engineered?

Right ..you know it was caused by maintenance how?
Mechanical things break.
Computers break.
Networks break.
People break..
Just because an accident occurs doesn't mean it was something nefarious vs something random.
I think we really need to wait for the NTSB to get involved and determine what happened before we assume anything.

Not seeing any reports of casualties, thank goodness.

They are thinking the plane touched down short and drug the tail which knocked it off.

If this is another example of poor construction or design, thing aren't looking good for Boeing, are they?

I don't recall any large incidents with the 777 hopefully everyone will be ok , over 300 on board though, hopefully no-one was sat near "the split"

Right ..you know it was caused by maintenance how?

By hystorical data of the same type of accidents.

"same type of accident"

The only thing known for sure right now is it was a 777. Their are multiple reasons why that type of plane has crashed over history.

I just don't understand people jumping to any conclusion before the facts are known. Right now I am glad that all indications are that no one was killed beyond that, their needs to be more info,.

290 passengers 1 infant and 12 crew accounted for alive but may be injuries.

Excellent, this is the most important and somewhat amazing news to come out of this so far.

Amazing they all survived , all passengers and crew. Look at the stae of the plane.
