coming up on the top of the hour and some of the most remarkable images that we re seeing of this crash that happened in san francisco, they re coming from social media. a photograph posted to twitter by david un shows what appears to be passengers walking off this plane. you see the slides there deployed. some of them have their bags, their carry-ons. smoke is rising from the plane and he writes i just crash landed at sfo. tail ripped off. most everyone seems fine. i m okay, surreal. within moments of the crash, fire crews were on the scene. take a look at this dousing the fuselage with water and foam, anthony kasterani said he saw it touch the ground and saw a plume of white smoke and saw a large
