Sad to think that it could be pilot error.
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
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.

Johnny – thanks for writing this post in an easy-to-grab-the-info-you-want format!
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?
Daily Telegraph says some bodies were left unattended.
