Look at the woman who took the time to bring her roll-on and a shopping bag. Hope she didn’t delay the evacuation of others while she went into the overhead. Do you think she ignored the pre-flight safety talk, just maybe?
Johnny – thanks for writing this post in an easy-to-grab-the-info-you-want format!
Hi Johnny, Thanks for the post. Have you seen this article?
Asiana Airlines Inc said the pilot in charge of landing the Boeing 777 that crash-landed at San Francisco’s airport on Saturday was training for the long-range plane and that it was his first flight to the airport with the jet.

I did! And listed it last night. thanks for sending though
Reminds me of the TK1951 crash, If the initial investigation is correct.. first time a pilot is landing at a specific airport and warnings from systems ignored
Sad to think that it could be pilot error.
