No names were released. What are they going to prosecute this person for, a sense of humor?
To put it in more precise terms, that was determined to be the cause of death. I think they already knew she’d been run over, but the autopsy showed that she had survived the plane crash and been alive until the fire truck hit her.
Asiana will not take the TV station up court announced spokesperson We No Sue.
tv news reports that the airline will give $10,000 to each survivor. people will still be allowed to sue for other compensation.
yes, that was just a check for medical, travel… whatever that passengers would need up front.
Holy Cow! These names are for real! And they do in fact know each other!
What’s more, that’s the actual co-pilot of the plane in question.
It’s the whole crew.
And for those of us without access to Facebook?
A facebook page ostensibly belonging to Wi Tu Lo. His list of friends include the other fake crew names from the news report.
I don’t have a Facebook page, but I could still see the link. ![]()
National Transportation Safety Board hearing in progress.
Asiana Pilot Set Throttles He Didn’t Understand to Idle
another article said he was nervous about visual unaided approach.
The flight crew’s names are
– Co-pilot and Pilot-in-Command: Captain Lee Jeong-min (Hangul: 이정민; Hanja: 李鄭閔)
– Pilot (captain’s position): Captain Lee Kang-kook (이강국; 李江鞠)
But I just love the KTVU Channel 2 news report that listed the crew as:
– Captain Sum Ting Wong
– Wi Tu Lo
– Ho Lee Fuk
– Bang Ding Ow
That KTVU Channel 2 news reporter was Tori Campbell.
Yes, several apologies were issued, and KTVU producers fired, but still…
too bad there wasn’t a check ride pilot who could correct his error.
I honestly don’t understand why they aren’t charged with negligent homicide.
I wonder what the hell they were doing flying an aircraft.
From johnpost’s link:
Yipes. They got a clear warning of dangerously low speed, and waited 8.5 seconds to respond.
If they were flying the aircraft they would have landed safely.
The function of a checkride pilot is to certify pilots. If they can’t fly the plane then the whole system breaks down.
All the times I was handed emergency situations as a student pilot the phrase “fly the plane” was hammered into me. I just can’t imagine watching the scene unfold right in front of them and doing nothing.
So the pilots know how to program a flight management computer. But they can’t, you know, fly an airplane in middle of the day in perfect weather.
Two very good points.
