Asiana crash video: San Francisco firefighters saw girl before she was run over
- 10 years ago
Shocking new footage taken during the aftermath of last year's Asiana Flight 214 crash shows that firefighters knew a teenage victim was on the ground before they ran over her.
Ye Mengyuan had survived the initial impact of the 6 July crash in San Francisco, only to be fatally struck minutes later by two emergency vehicles.
Helmet camera and dash-cam footage obtained by CBS News show firefighters repeatedly warning emergency vehicle drivers away from the 16-year-old on the ground near the jet.
Officials had previously maintained that the drivers of the trucks that hit her had likely not seen the teenager's body because she had been covered in foam spread by other firefighters.
The crash took the lives of two other Chinese teenagers and injured more than 180 others.
The plane tumbled down the runway of San Francisco International Airport after hitting a rocky sea wall.
