San Francisco’s Boeing 777 Crash: Why It Was Survivable

Looking at the burnt, shattered hull of the Boeing 777 jet that crashed upon landing at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, it’s tempting to say the survival of all but two of the 307 passengers and crew was a miracle. The jumbo jet came in at a frighteningly low altitude after a long trans-Pacific flight from South Korea and then, according to passenger reports, seconds before landing, smashed into the edge of the airport runway, tearing off its tail before spinning on its belly.
