Investigators Scrutinizing Pilots of Asiana Airlines Flight That Crash Landed
One of two teen girls who died in the incident may have been run over by an emergency vehicle
Federal investigators are scrutinizing the actions -- and inactions -- of the pilots of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 during the final 34 seconds of the more than 10-hour flight that crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport.
The experience and training of the pilot, who was making his maiden landing in a Boeing 777 at SFO, and his trainer, who was reportedly supervising his first flight, will most likely be a critical part of the investigation, which is being conducted by the NTSB, FBI and Korean transportation officials.
