Asiana Flight Had New Pilot Investigators are still searching for the cause of the crash of Asiana Flight 214, but the airline confirmed on Sunday that the pilot on the doomed plane had only 43 hours experience flying Boeing 777s. Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyo-min said that the pilot, Lee Kang-kook, was in training for flying the aircraft, but the plane's co-pilot, Lee Jeong-min, had "lots of experience with 777s." Two people were killed and dozens more injured in Saturday's crash at a San Francisco Airport. The National Safety Review Board reported that the jet was flying "below target speed" before the crash, and federal investigators now believe the plane came into the airport far too low and hit the seawall.

Crash Victims on Way to Church Camp Two 16-year-old Chinese girls, Wang Linjia and Ye Mengyuan, were among 32 students and a teacher traveling from Jiangshan Middle School in Zheijan province to Los Angeles for church camp, via Asiana Flight 214 from Seoul to San Francisco. Linjia and Mengyuan were the crash's only two fatalities, with their bodies found less than a mile apart. One of the dead girls was found on the runway, possibly after being ejected from the plane, while the other was found closer to the wreckage and may have been killed after being run over by emergency vehicles. Investigators are still trying to identify the victims. Of the Jiangshan group, at least two people are paralyzed with spinal injuries, and eight are in critical condition as of Sunday night.
