Boeing 777 crashes while landing at SFO

Headline: bad. Details: WTF???

around 11:30 a.m. the plane was just about to land — its landing gear had come down — when the tail of the plane came off.

I really hope this was caught on video.

Early reports suggest a hard landing and/or a tailstrike on landing. The latter would seem to indicate something *really* unusual.

UPDATE: aerial photos seem to indicate that the plane struck the ground *before* the beginning of the runway. Unless the automatic pilot went insane and decided to take control and kill everyone on board, it looks like piss-poor piloting.
