Asiana 777 crash in San Francisco leaves three dead

摘要

US investigators are looking into the causes of the crash landing of an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 at San Francisco airport on 6 July. Two passengers were killed in the crash and a third died later but the remaining 288 passengers and 16 crew members were able to evacuate safely with 180 injured. Flight 214 from Incheon in South Korea hit the seawall at the edge of the airport after coming in too low on final approach. The tail of the 777 broke off, ejecting two flight attendants out of the back of the aircraft, while the rest of the airframe spun down the runway before catching fire.
