Emily Dardaman, a marketing intern for the AJC, was on her way to airport in San Francisco when the Boeing 777 crashed. "We were looking out over the roadway and saw a lot of smoke. We originally thought it was a brush fire but we saw that it was a plane," Dardaman said."When I was in the airport they were clear the airport was closed. They weren't handeling it over the PA system. Airline customer service officials were handeling everything. We got put in a long customer service line for them to handle."
