Two people are dead and over one hundred people are injured officials try to figure out what caused a plane crash at San Francisco International Airport earlier today.

The Asiana Airliner, heading from South Korea, appears to have caught fire after it crashed on the runway.

Reporter Bret Burkhart with San Francisco’s KGO Radio says nine different hospitals continue to take in people injured in the crash

“As patients come in later in the day, they are least critical. They have been treated at a triage unit in San Francisco International. So we are seeing a couple of hours, every couple of hours a new wave of patients, but these patients are the least critical"

Burkhart says San Francisco General has upgraded five previously critical patients to serious condition.

Police have yet to release the names of any of the victims.

The National Transportation Safety Board will be investigating the crash.
