Coast Guard have apparently confirmed two dead: http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/news...000700320.HTML and http://www.mysinchew.com/node/61271?...medium=twitter

Very sad news indeed.

Very sad news. On the airliners.net thread on this topic there were some interesting details about the crew:

OZ Flight 991 Press Release

1. Accident Details

A. Time: July 28, 2011 (Thu.) 04:11 AM

D. Crew

- Captain: Sang-Gi Choi (Born: January 25, 1959)

E. Freight: 58 Tons

- Freight Contents: More than 90% of the freight was standard cargo and IT products. The remainder was comprised of liquids (e.g., paint, resin solution, etc.)
- All cargo was loaded in accordance with IATA regulations.

F. Aircraft Specifications

- Registration Number/Aircraft Type: HL7604/B747-400F
- Owner: AAR

In my opinion, the captain was highly experienced, if he could not save this plane there must of been something very wrong with it. It is a tragedy

Very sad indeed, haven't even seen it on the news yet.
Surprising to hear so much about the air Canada when nothing very bad happened.
