determine whether one of the two teenaged passengers killed on the Asiana
Airlines flight had been run over by a San Francisco fire rig at the crash
scene.
The 16-year-old girl was found near the evacuation slide near the left wing
of Asiana Flight 214 which crashed Saturday during a landing at San
Francisco International Airport. The girl was not identified.
San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said Sunday her injuries are
consistent with her having been run over.
"As it possibly could have happened, based on the injuries sustained, it
could have been one of our vehicles that added to the injuries, or another
vehicle," Hayes-White said. "That could have been something that happened in
the chaos. It will be part of our investigation."
Hayes-White said that a runway video recording of the first seconds of the
crash could help unravel what occurred. "Part of it was pretty good vantage
point," she said.
San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said the girl did not appear to
suffer extensive burns.
The other girl appears to have died from injuries suffered when she was
ejected about the time the tail of Boeing 777 hit the runway, he said.
Autopsies, Foucrault said, were being conducted Sunday afternoon.
"The examination will determine the cause of her death - whether it was
related to aircraft crash or another incident," he said. "At this point, we
don't know."
The dead girls, Ye Meng Yuan and Wang Lin Jia, were from China coming to the
U.S. to visit Stanford University and then attend a three-week summer camp
at a Christian school in the San Fernando Valley community of West Hills,
officials said.
The flight, which officials said originated in Shanghai and stopped over in
Seoul, carried passengers from China, Korea and the U.S. The jetliner
crashed after appearing to hit short of the runway losing its tail and
leaving a trail of debris.
Hayes-White said 30 or more rigs carrying 225 firefighters and medics
responded. Several fire trucks fanned out to douse the burning wreckage and
one crew led a hose line into the burning cabin.
"It breaks my heart that two 16-year-old girls lost their lives," she said.
"I want to make sure that, just for everyone's closure, that the
investigation is complete. The coroner will come to his conclusion."
