On ABC News, survivors of Saturday's Asiana Airlines airplane crash spoke about their harrowing experiences. The plane, with 300 passengers aboard, crashed at San Francisco's International Airport on July 6th. Watch their appearance below!
ABC News reported this morning that the pilot in charge was in his ninth training flight on the Boeing 777 and was 11 flights short of the worldwide standard to get licensed, according to company officials.
Asiana Airlines spokeswoman Lee Hyo-min said today at a news conference in Seoul, South Korea, "He is a veteran pilot with almost 10,000 hours on other aircrafts like the 747. He was in the process of getting a license for the new 777."
She added, "He has flown the new 777 nine times before to Narita [in Tokyo], London, L.A., and more. But, yes, to San Francisco, with that specific 777 type, it was his first."
