All passengers and crew managed to escape safely via the emergency inflatable slides.

Two minor injuries were reported among the seven crew members and 150 passengers on board.

At the same time an Emirates Airbus A380 was in-bound for landing to continue its tour around the world. LAX air traffic control refers to the Emirates A380 as "Emirates Super" in the Live ATC transmission.

118.700 is where Burbank Tower talks to aircraft.

Burbank Tower
Originally uploaded by sfPhotocraft
Put 118.700 mHz into your air radio when you're in the San Fernando Valley to hear the tower at BUR give landing clearance to incoming flights, flights transitioning it's airspace, and take-off clearance to aircraft on the runway. If there's a mountain range between you and the tower, you'll probably only hear one way transmissions from the air.

123.025 mHz is where the helicopters talk

Tune your radio to 123.025 mHz AM to hear the Helicopters over Los Angeles announce their location and altitude. LAPD, LA Sheriff, CHP, LACoFD, LAFD, along with news helicopters can be heard here.
