Mets' Dillon Gee posts photo of Asiana Flight 214 wreckage as team's plane lands in San Francisco

The New York Mets' team's flight landed safely at San Francisco International Airport Sunday night as the wreckage of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 — which crashed and resulted in the death of two teenage girls just before noon on Saturday — lay on an adjacent runway.

Mets starting pitcher Dillon Gee posted a photo of the plane, still lying in pieces on runway, and a message of support for those affected on his Twitter account.



As the tragedy is still being investigated, an outpouring of support on social media continues.

Gee tweeted the photo of the plane with a message on his account (@DIllonGee): "Still thinking about the people affected by the ASIANA crash in SF! We just landed right next to it!!"






Other Mets and team personnel reacted in awe upon the their plane passing the doomed flight. Media relations man Jay Horwitz called it "scary" and rookie right-hander Zack Wheeler said it was "Unreal!!!"


The Mets are set to take on the Giants in San Francisco Monday night.
