The Asiana Airlines Flight 214 Plane Crash

You've probably already heard about the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 plane that crashed at the San Francisco International Airport, on Saturday, July 6, 2013. Or probably not. Nonetheless, I just want to blog about all I know about the plane crash. For starters, I know that the plane was a Boeing 777 that took off from Shanghai, went to Seoul, and then was on its way to San Francisco. A lot of the earlier reports are conflicting on the number and how extensive the injuries are. Reports are saying there were two deaths (and that being two 16-year-old Chinese girls), and upwards of 180 injured. What's even worse, is that there's an autopsy on one of the 16-year-old girls, indicating she didn't die on the plane. The girl's body was found on the evacuation slide, and the San Francisco fire chief said, "Her injuries are consistent with having been run over. It could've been one of our vehicles that added to the injuries, or another vehicle. This could've been something that happened in the chaos, and will be part of our investigation." So, apparently, one of these teenage girls might've survived the plane crash, then got hit by emergency services -- supposedly a fire truck. As I write this, the FBI and a handful of other agencies, are all looking into why this happened. This includes everything from criminal activity, terrorism, mechanical failure, and of course, human error. Although, the CEO of Asiana Airlines has ruled out mechanical failure (I don't know how). I mean, how odd is it that the Airlines doesn't want to admit that it was their plane that messed up. According to a passenger, the crew gave no sign of being in trouble, or worrying about anything, moments before impact. Numerous eye witnesses say that the plane appeared to be approaching lower than its normal, for an approach, at San Francisco, and they heard the plane's engine accelerate hard, just before impact. It appears that the plane's tail, or the landing gear, hit the seawall, at the edge of the runway, before bouncing, and coming to a stop, off the runway. The jet then caught fire, with many passengers receiving burn injuries. The cockpit voice recorder (otherwise known as the black box) was also recovered. From that they found out that the flight was cleared for visual approach to runway 28 left, and this was confirmed by the crew. The approach proceeded normally throughout the descent. There was no discussions on aircraft abnormalities, nothing really wrong, and then, seven seconds prior to impact, a crew member called for more speed. Then, four seconds before impact, the sound of the stick shaker, indicating a stall, sounded off. And then, one and a half seconds prior to impact, there was a call for an aborted landing. But then of course, the question is, what about the pilots? Interestingly, the Airlines is now saying that the pilot who tried to land this Boeing 777, was in training, and that this was his first time trying to land a 777, in San Francisco International. Conclusively, that's everything I know right now. And, I really don't want to throw a blame on anyone, until the FBI (and the other agencies) finish their investigation.
