| A Boeing 777 aircraft has crash-landed at San Francisco international airport. | |
| There is no word so far on casualties. The aircraft operated by the South Korean airline Asiana was on the runway, with plumes of smoke rising from it. | |
| Pictures posted on Twitter showed passengers jumping down the inflatable emergency slides and leaving the area. | |
| Firefighters and rescue teams are at the scene. The cause of the emergency is not known. | |
| There were reportedly 12 crew and 290 passengers on board - the Boeing 777 can carry as many as 300 passengers. | |
| Passenger David Eun tweeted a picture of people jumping out of the plane and wrote: "I just crash landed at SFO. Tail ripped off. Most everyone seems fine. I'm ok. Surreal..." | |
| Mr Eun, who describes himself as a "digital media guy" and "frequent flier", added: "Fire and rescue people all over the place. They're evacuating the injured. Haven't felt this way since 9/11." | |
| A witness to the crash, Anthony Castorani, told CNN that when the aircraft touched down on the runway there was a large fireball and the plane "began cartwheeling" before one of its wings broke off. | |
| Asiana is South Korea's second-largest airline. | |
