777 crash at san Francisco airport

Same Airline - same issues

Low approach to runway

Tokyo (AFP) - Asiana Airlines said Thursday a plane accident that injured more than 20 people at a Japanese airport made an abnormal runway approach.

Akiyoshi Yamamura, vice-president of the South Korean carrier, made a public apology at a press conference at Hiroshima airport, where 27 people were hurt when the plane smashed into a communications antenna as it came in to land.

Flight OZ162 from Incheon, near Seoul, to western Hiroshima was carrying 73 passengers and eight crew when it smashed into the localiser -- a large gate-like structure, six metres (20 feet) high, that sits around 300 metres (yards) from the start of the runway.

Transport officials from Japan and South Korea were investigating the accident on Thursday, but no final report has been published. Suggestions also emerged that a sudden down draft may have played a part in the crash.

Even if a downdraft happened; they had to have been at the bottom/below the glide slope.

Normally they would touchdown at about 200-300 meters past the runway start;

The answer is in the post right above yours: It happened again. Same airline, same mistake.

Can I just point out that bumping a thread about a crash in SFO is kinda shitty when you're talking about one in Japan.

I appreciated the bump because I was subscribed to the thread (simply because I had posted in it). Now I got some related information about this airline.

I know this is old but I wanted to comment. The 16 year old and others who died in the SFO crash IMHO are the most responsible for their own deaths. They refused to seat belt themselves into their seats when requested by the pilots on the descent. They wouldn't have been thrown from their seats or plane if they hadn't refused to comply with safety rules. IMHO their families should have received nothing, their refusal to comply with request to be seated and buckled, waived the airlines responsibility.

Quite similar to the recent Air Canada A320 incident.

I doubt that's true.

One was still strapped in her seat and died of her injuries at the hospital.

One was pulled from the plane by a fireman, set down in the grass, and then run over by a fire truck. Twice.

The third was sitting in the broken rear of the plane and was ejected, the same thing that happened to the strapped in flight attendants in the rear of the plane.

The statements from the cabin crew do not mention anyone not following orders for landing. They went around and checked that all passengers were belted in for the landing, as they always do. They did not report any problem passengers.
