Title: Plane Crash at KSFO

Tragic event: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-san-francisco-plane-crash-20130706,0,284092.story

This story actually might be a little outdated, as there are now two people confirmed dead--thankfully no more died, considering how many people a T7 can hold. Let's hope that the injured have speedy recoveries.

I was sad to hear about this crash, or any other plane crash for that matter.
It's tragic that two people were killed, but, like you said, it could have been worse. :(

I also hope that the injured do have a speedy recovery.

news says that they had malfunctioning Auto_throttle. And they failed to notice low speed. No matter how much hours pilot had in 777, speed is vital. How they could miss it...

but lets not blame pilots until NTSB will find out what really happened.
