Relevant for several reasons. The main one probably being that it's an airport a lot of HN members probably use.

It seems to me this is a disaster they'd cover on TV news (thus off-topic) and it doesn't gratify my intellectual curiosity (thus not on-topic). Little different than a jackknifed semi on the highway that a lot of HN members probably use.

Now a technical analysis of the factors leading to the crash would very much be intellectually gratifying and I look forward to seeing that posted on HN.

Don't know about other people here, but I've actually taken Asiana Airlines #214 several times.
