There are still 8 people in a critical condition.
This is the 1st ever 777 crash with passenger fatalites and it has an excellent safety record.
A previous accident involving a 777 occurred on Jan. 17, 2008, at London's Heathrow Airport. In the process of landing, British Airways Flight 38 from China landed hard about 1,000 feet short of the runway and then slid onto the runway. The impact broke the 777-200's landing gear. There were 47 injuries, but no fatalities.

They are looking at pilot error as the possible cause. The pilot apparently was training for this plane and co-pilot, who had more experience than the pilot, was helping him.
