A relative's husband is a pilot with Asiana Airlines. Pilipino rin siya and taga-Paranaque sila. So I dropped by her fb page to ask and mangumusta sana, but it seems okay naman sila, thank God.

Pilot error nga, baguhan pa lang si pilot sa pag gamit ng 777.

43 flying hours pa lang siya using the said aircraft. pero veteran na pilot na.

Hindi ba pwde questionin ng first officer yung pilot kung bakit ang baba ng lipad sa approach?

Iba ata ang kultura sa korea. Nabasa ko yan sa outliers by malcolm gladwell. Yung sa korean air madalas din ang pilot errors. After investigation, nalaman na yung co pilots ay wala masyado say sa pagpapalipad ng eroplano.

Hmmm... and then I've read they had to land manually since the ILS is down for maintenance daw.

Anyway, on to the latest news:

Local fire department says one of the teenage girls killed in incident may have been run over by emergency vehicle.

The Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 that crashed at San Francisco's airport on Saturday was travelling "significantly below" its intended speed and its crew tried to abort the landing just seconds before it hit the seawall in front of the runway, the US National Transportation Safety Board said on Sunday.

Information collected from the plane's cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder indicated that there were no signs of trouble until seven seconds before impact, when the crew tried to accelerate.

Later on Sunday, the local fire department said that an emergency vehicle rushing to the scene of the crash may have run over one of the two teenage Chinese girls killed in the incident.

We can't tell if it was a perfect approach or not sometimes even on a perfect landing kasi we can't discount yung biglang hangin patulak especially sa mahanging lugar like SF. Sadly yung tail section ang tinamaan and sumayad in advance.

The 777 was designed to evacuate all its passengers in less than 90sec., even if half its doors are inoperable. Pag CebuPac yan, 9 min na hindi pa nila alam kung ano gagawin.

Kudos to the crew for having the presence of mind in following the protocol in emergency situations like this. As for the pilots, it's still under investigation whether the crash was caused by pilot error for landing short of the runway, or if there were other troubles that caused the plane to land like that.

yeah, the moment there was smoke, mapa white or black yan, evacuate na agad sila.. sa Cebu Pac hintayin pa order ng piloto.. eh pano kung nawalan ng malay piloto at co-pilot... eh di nga-nga

RIP to the casualties...
