Teenager Ye Meng Yuan did n't die when a plane crashed at San Francisco International Airport last July . She actually survived the impact , only to die minutes later after a fire truck ran over her . Now , newly released video suggests emergency workers saw Ye 's injured body on the ground before she was fatally struck -- challenging earlier claims that she was accidentally run over because she may have been covered in firefighting foam . In the footage , one firefighter tried to stop an emergency vehicle racing toward the scene . `` Whoa , whoa , whoa ! Stop , stop , stop ! There 's a body ... there 's a body right there . Right in front of you , '' the firefighter told the driver . The video was captured on a camera attached to a firefighter 's helmet and first aired by CBS . Another video from a fire truck shows a firefighter on the ground directing the truck around a victim , who was not covered in foam at the time . Ye , 16 , was on her way to an American summer camp from her home in China . Justin Green , a lawyer for her family , said the video shows several firefighters saw her lying on the tarmac , but none `` did the basic step of checking if she was alive . '' `` It 's unthinkable , '' Green told CNN 's `` Anderson Cooper 360 . '' `` It 's unimaginable , because the first thing -- the first priority of the firefighters or any rescue personnel -- is saving lives , and the first step in triage is to take the pulse , check the respiration . That was never done . '' A California coroner ruled that Ye was alive when flung from the plane but died of `` multiple blunt injuries that are consistent with being run over by a motor vehicle . '' `` Those injuries she received , she was alive at the time , '' San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said . Ye 's parents have filed a gross negligence claim against the city and county of San Francisco , arguing that the emergency responders who spotted Ye on the ground `` failed to move her to a safe location , failed to mark her location ; failed to protect her from moving vehicles in the vicinity of the aircraft where it was known that vehicles would be traveling ; failed to alert commanders at the scene ; and/or abandoned Ye Meng Yuan in a perilous location . '' Green said the teenager 's parents were devastated by her death . `` In China , they 're really only supposed to have one child , '' he said . `` This was the family 's only child , a girl who was a star student , who was the focus of their lives . Everything that they did was poured into this girl and her future , and that was taken away because of some terrible mistakes and inaction by the firefighters . '' The San Francisco Fire Department declined comment on the video , citing the pending claim . But in July , Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White offered her department 's `` condolonces and apologies '' to the Ye family . `` We 're heartbroken , '' Hayes-White said . `` We 're in the business of saving lives ... There 's not a lot of words to describe how badly we feel about it . '' No charges for firefighter who ran over Asiana crash survivor . Two other people died when Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash-landed at the San Francisco airport July 6 . The National Transportation Safety Board said the jet descended in altitude faster than it should have , and had a slower forward speed than intended .
