                   Passenger Jet Crash Lands in San Francisco

   by VOA News

   A Boeing 777 passenger jet has crash landed at the San Francisco
   International Airport in California.

   Officials have identified it as Asiana Airlines Flight 214, originating
   in Seoul, South Korea.

   Witnesses say the tail of the aircraft fell off just before the
   aircraft struck the runway.  A large cloud of smoke could be seen
   streaming from the plane with two emergency escape chutes emerging from
   the side.

   It is not clear if there are any casualties.  Also not known at this
   time is how many people were on board.
