According to Twitter reports, most seem to be OK.

No.  Not at all.  Not sure why this thread was even started.  This has nothing to do with politics and at least your post isn't one of those "I hope everyone is okay and they are in my prayers" BS posts you see on the internet all the time.  Isn't it a given we hope everyone is okay?  Why does it need to be stated by 20 different people.

ABC says it seems like a "very survivable" crash, so that's good.

I'd say the thread is still more relevant than this post.

They say the plane landed VERY short and hit the sea wall and that took out the tail and the plane then spun and belly-flopped.

It is amazing when you see the plane how few casualties there were. They must have got those people out in  hurry so those flight attendants did a great job.

Maybe she is a North Korean agent and knew this would happen?

More seriously, anytime something happens to a South Korean plane, the first question has to be was the North responsible for it, tho it looks like it wasn't this time.
