A Boeing 777 aircraft
that crash-landed at San Francisco airport killing two people did not
have mechanical problems, an airline official has said.
The head of the South Korean airline Asiana, Yoon Young-doo,
did not rule out human error but said the pilots were experienced
veterans.Most of the 307 people on board were injured, 49 of them seriously.
The plane came down short of the runway, ripping off its tail, after apparently hitting a sea wall.
One survivor said the plane came in to land too fast and too low, but there was no warning of problems.
Passengers and crew escaped down emergency slides as it burst into flames.
