Boeing 777 crashes at SFO

wow so smart. so fukking hot 
Havent watched any news coverage in sometime but some pilots I know are tweeting about Koreans lack of non Instrument Landings and based on what they're hearing that this couldve easily been pilot error. SFO coulda had a ILS malfunction and forced them to land manually. But I'll wait and see.
The thing is, NTSB already knows the Why. Theyre just setting up the investigation to accurately put blame on someone and also legality reasons. Either way, Korean Air is fukked. But the public might not find out why the 777 went down for another week or 2.

Listening to the NTSB. Some tidbits..ILS was down So it was a manual landing. The Tower ordered a go around 2 seconds before touchdown. The 2 deceased were thrown from the plane.
So basically the pilots fuked up like many in the industry that I know suspected. From what it sounds like they came in low and slow...the tower saw this, ordered a go around...the captain panicked raising the nose too steep at an angle of attack that caused the tail to hit. This was due to the drag of having the flaps down at 30 degrees as well as it's below protocal speed. Once again, that is my opinion based off what little they are telling us.
If anyone knows anything about Korean Aviation, theyve been red flagged by the community for there training as well as habits. Michael Gladwell really touched on it in his Outliers book.

wow from the initial reports i heard the pilots called for an emergency landing so i was assuming they must have had some engine problem in the first place which is prob why they couldnt even reach the runway. I think the way u described it is prob accurate, but I'm just wondering what the reason would be for these guys to come in like that. I'm sure these pilots have made the same trip a hundred times and unless the weather was horrendous and they couldnt see the runway i find it hard to believe they would come in so low without something going on.
I remember looking at the video and being like, why is the left wing leaning but thought nothing of it. Then I just read a passenger transcript describing that he felt the plane was low and the wing was noticeably favoring a side. That would be an aileron issue. But why the fukk wouldn't the pilots declare an emergency to the tower and passengers? Wtf. These pilots fukked up brehs.
Nawwww not really although I do have 28hrs VFR flight-time, majoring in Aeronautics

I must've missed that but I don't recall hearing that the pilots declare an emergency. If So that 747 wouldn't have been on takeoff standby and from what I remember, the 747 was cleared for a post landing(of the 777) takeoff. I'll look into it.
To answer the 2nd part of ur question. From what I hear, out of 100 landings...90 are automated for Asiana pilots. They lack experience. But also, the NTSB said the throttle was idle. Shyt is kinda confusing me. The ILS system on that runway was disabled for maintenance So they had to be flying manual. For a passenger to notice something is wrong and a pilot not is shockingly impossible. When a commercial heavy jet lands it aims for the 1st brick(runway marker) on the runway...they touched down damn near 500 short of the target from what I saw. This is going to get interesting. SFO isn't really known for hazardous winds but it is known for it's foggy conditions. But the weather was clear and winds calm.

Crew tried to abort landing before San Francisco air crash | Reuters
these pilots are fuked
The Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 that crashed at San Francisco's airport on Saturday was traveling "significantly below" its intended speed and its crew tried to abort the landing just seconds before it hit the seawall in front of the runway, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Sunday.
