It Was Too Late For The Pilot Before The Plane Caught Fire

On July 28, 2011, Asiana Airlines Flight OZ214, a Boeing 777-200ER, crash landed at San Francisco International Airport. The incident resulted in the loss of three lives and left dozens of people injured. The flight had originated from Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, and was carrying 307 passengers and crew members, including 141 Chinese nationals, 77 South Koreans, and 61 Americans.
According to the report issued by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the crash occurred due to the pilot's mismanagement of the aircraft's speed during approach and landing. The incident took place as the plane descended towards the runway at a very low altitude and a slow speed. The plane's tail collided with the sea wall at the end of the runway causing it to spin out of control before hitting the runway with its tail and then nose, finally coming to a stop in a cloud of smoke and debris.
The impact of the crash was severe, causing the fuselage to break into two sections, and the wreckage scattered across the runway. The rescue operation was swift, with emergency services arriving at the scene within a few minutes to extract passengers from the wreckage. The pilot in command and the two-person crew were among the individuals who survived the crash.
The crash of Asiana Airlines Flight OZ214 sent shockwaves throughout the aviation industry, leading to increased safety measures, including stricter safety protocols and the introduction of more advanced safety technology. Overall, the incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of safety in the aviation industry, and the need for continuous safety improvements.

It is interesting that there was no mention of the pilots being fatigued after that 12 to 14 hour trip.
