Bay Area news station KTVU just reported that the pilots of Asiana's disastrous flight 214 were the crack team of "Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk," and "Bang Ding Ow."

Love when this shit blows up back in their faces. That's what they get for trying to be "first"

A summer intern working at the NTSB confirmed the list of pilot names, so it must be correct.

Pilot never flew a 777 before that's why it went down. He had flight hours but not with this aircraft. And then 1 of the 2 dead was possibly hit by an ambulance rushing to the scene.

Not only that, but in order to get to that seat, you have to have many hours and many approaches/takeoffs/landings/emergencies and demonstrate them all to precision before you are going to get a shot to get in the real thing.

Also, as in most airplane crashes, one mistake usually is not enough to cause a catastrophe. It is a series of mistakes. It seems that way in this incident. An approach in an airliner that size starts 20 minutes out. There was an issue not 5 seconds before impact, but likely 5 min or so from impact.

The pilot (experience irrelevant) is not as much to blame as the check airman. His job is to make sure that the flight is routine. Reportedly, there were 4 pilots on that flight, I'm not sure how many were in the cockpit. Its very likely the pilot screwed up, but....where was the check airman?

wrong...


he has flown the 777 for 43 hours which might seem not a lot to the media and the public, it is somewhat moderate. imagine the cost for flight hours in the 777. very expensive...

R u sure im wrong? I missed the whole 43 hrs of flight time w this aircraft but don't forget this is his first landing in a 777. Im not gonna let my daughter drive with only a few hrs of driving time and this guy had very little hrs behind a 777. So who's at fault? He underestimated the approach, came in too slow, and tried to give power right before impact. I've read this story in many aspects from ny times, usa today, and our own local paper. Call me out for being wrong state your facts broe!
