An Asiana Airlines flight has crashed at San Francisco International Airport. The Boeing 777 crashed on Sunday after it left Seoul's Incheon International Airport earlier on Saturday and had flown 10 hours and 23 minutes to California, reported CNN.

The plane reportedly sent up a huge fireball and spinned out of control before it came to a stop.

Anthony Castorani, who witnessed the flight land from a nearby hotel said to CNN,

"You heard a pop and you immediately saw a large, brief fireball that came from underneath the aircraft."

"It all happened so suddenly," Kristina Stapchuck told CNN, who also saw the crash from her seat on an plane on the airport tarmac. She added, "It looked like the tires slipped a little bit and it rocked back."

Fire trucks were on site and evacuation slides could be seen from one side of the aircraft, where there was no reported smoke.

"Multiple sources told NBC News that the early indication was that the plane came in too short on its landing and hit the seawall at the airport. Sources close to the early investigation also told NBC News that the pilot did not make a distress call. The sky was partly cloudy and the winds mostly calm," reported NBC News.

NBC reported that there was conflicting information in the aftermath of the crash but earlier reports said that there were at least 291 people on board.

Stefanie Turner, a witness, said to  MSNBC  about the plane that, "The tail was too low. Instead of coming in flat it was coming in at a 45-degree angle, with the tail far too low. It really went through quite a few acrobatics on the runway."

A passenger on the flight David Eun, posted on Twitter,  "I just crash landed at SFO. Tail ripped off. Most everyone seems fine. I'm ok."

SFO has suspended takeoffs and landings.
