A witness has captured on tape the deadly Asiana Airlines flight crash in San Francisco. Fred Hayes used his cell phone to catch on camera the moment when the plane crashes into a seawall bordering.

According to KTLA, the crew sent out no distress signal before the crash. You can see the plane belly hopping, skidding, and then doing a 180 turn before approaching the runway.

It smashes into the wall and hits ground, at the time that we can observe a dust cloud forming. This video was shot from a mile away.

As I wrote, the flight departed from Seoul, South Korea with 141 passengers on board. The victims have been identified as 16-year-old students Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia.
