Mid section is gone but there are survivors. They know that because people getting out of the plane are posting pics on twitter.

The midsection is gone? The picture above shows the fuselage intact except for the tail.

Not a pilot but following this on multiple aviation forums.
Early speculation is either a hard landing with a tail-strike that tore off the back section.
Another possibility is an aborted landing with a go-around sequence that went awry.

Well no reports of fatalities, 2 send to hospital apparently. Good job Boeing on plane design & engineering with their flame resistance to allow all to escape.
Some people even had time to take out their carry ons!

The debris field starts before the start of the runway. Aircraft probably coming in too low, pilot realizes this and pulls up but tail strikes the ground.

^ Doesn't matter. How many times have we heard in every single safety video to "leave all luggage behind" in an evacuation. Theres a reason for that. Those few seconds you take to grab your belongings could be the difference maker between life or death for another passenger behind you if not yourself.
That aside. Reporting two potentially fatalities on OZ214. Prayers to all that are affected by this.

With SFO completely closed to all traffic. All planes are diverting to nearby airports.
The ripple effect will be massive since SFO is such a busy airport.. So far one plane will be diverting to YVR. British Airways 287 from London LHR.

Some people have their whole business in their carry on, not the trivial shit YOU would bring on. The matter of fact is you wouldn't do shit, but keep talking about punching people on Revscene.
