SAN FRANCISCO -- A fire department official says at least 2 have died and many others were injured after an Asiana Airlines flight crashed while landing at San Francisco airport.
San Francisco Edwin Lee confirmed late Saturday that all passengers were accounted for.
San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White says that there are two dead in the crash of an Asiana jetliner at San Francisco International Airport.
She said that the scene has been secured and has been turned over to the FBI. Terrorism has been ruled out.
Airport spokesman Doug Yakel said 181 people were taken to local hospitals. There were a total of 307 people on board the plane -- 291 passengers and 16 crew members.
San Francisco General Hospital spokeswoman Rachel Kagan told KCBS radio in San Francisco soon after the crash that 10 passengers had been transported to the hospital. Some of their conditions have since been upgraded.
