San Francisco plane crash original footage


Two tracks have reopened in San Francisco International (SFO), the airport said in a tweet at 6:28 pm ET.

That's good news for the thousands of passengers flying through SFO, where all flights were grounded after the crash landing later an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777.

But many passengers will struggle to find new ways to get to their destinations. More than 425 flights were canceled at SFO 10:55 pm ET, according to tracking firm FlightAware flight. In addition, over 70 flights departing SFO had been diverted to other cities, said FlightAware CEO Daniel Baker.

In this context, the San Francisco airport and passengers had warned via Twitter that "is currently experiencing a high volume of traffic" from 18:26 ET. The airport said customers should contact their airlines for more information.

Numerous press reports described the scene inside the SFO terminals as chaotic as flyers plotted their next steps after landing.

It is likely that all airlines serving SFO would establish policies rebooking flexible to allow passengers to change their plans to avoid schedule disruptions there.

Two most active operators SFO - United and Virgin America - each announced that they would allow customers ticketed to fly to, from or through San Francisco until Monday to change their flights free of charge.

Most other SFO had done the same for Saturday night.

However, customers canceled flights now must find new ways to get to their destinations. With planes flying at near-record capacity, it would be a challenge even under normal conditions.

The same applies to customers that ended in unexpected cities after their flights diverted away from San Francisco.
