San Francisco Plane Crash: Pilot Was Training The pilot who was flying a Boeing 777 when it crashed in San Francisco had just 43 hours' experience flying the plane, aviation officials have said. Two teenagers were killed and around 180 people were injured, many of them seriously, when Asiana Airlines flight 214 slammed into the runway. Air crash investigators said the crew tried to abort the landing less than two seconds before impact. Although the captain had spent nearly 10,000 hours at the controls of other planes, he had never landed at San Francisco before. The mangled interior of the Boeing 777.

Meanwhile, officials are looking at whether one of the two teenagers killed in the crash was run over by a rescue vehicle. It is not clear whether she died during the crash or whether she was knocked down as emergency crews rushed to the scene. As air crash investigators continue to investigate the cause of the crash, they published a series of pictures, including one taken inside the wreckage of the plane, showing oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling of the cabin and seats bent at various angles. The plane's landing gear was separated from the fuselage. They have recovered both black boxes from the 777, which should reveal exactly why the aircraft came down. Deborah Hersman, head of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the plane was travelling well below its target speed of 157mph. She said a piece of safety equipment that warns pilots of an impending stall went off moments before the crash. Cockpit voice recordings revealed the crew's desperate attempts to climb back into the sky but did not suggest any mechanical problems. Investigators study the aircraft's tail fin. No warnings were issued to air traffic controllers until seven seconds before impact. Although the cause of the crash is yet to be confirmed, one theory is that the plane clipped a sea wall at the end of the runway as it came in to land. Meanwhile, further tales from those on the flight from Shanghai, which travelled to San Francisco via a stop-off in Seoul, have emerged. Fei Xiong, who was taking her eight-year-old son on a trip to Disneyland, said: "My son told me, 'The plane will fall down, it's too close to the sea.' I told him, 'Baby, it's OK, we'll be fine.' Teenagers Wang Linjia and Ye Mengyuan died in the crash Xu Da, who was sitting near the back of the plane with his wife and teenage son, described seeing sparks - possibly from exposed electrical wires - and a gaping hole through which he could see the runway. Wen Zhang climbed from the wreckage with her four-year-old son, who hit the seat in front of him and broke his leg in the crash. "I had no time to be scared," she said. The two pilots - part of a crew of 16 - had more than 10,000 flying hours between them. There were 291 passengers on board, many of whom were Chinese.
