Official report: SFO crash victim dead before firefighters ran over her
(CNN) -- Contradicting claims by a coroner and her family, a new report by San Francisco authorities concludes 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan was already dead when two fire trucks ran over her on the Northern California airport's tarmac. (www.cnn.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

Happened again in a post above. Had to recorrect the correction, which was almost again auto uncorrected, which I had to override. Does the phone not like the ladies?

5 people were ejected, 3 of them died. 5 additional people had to be physically removed from the aircraft by firefighters.
The flight attendants were still strapped in when the the rear station they were sitting separated from the plane.
The three passengers were ejected without the benefit of a structure around them to take the traumatic forces. (Either because they weren't wearing seat belts or because they were sitting where the plane separated.)

The F/A's were seperated, not ejected. Big difference.
So the obseration stands.
All passengers that were ejected died. No one else died.
All passengers that were ejected died. No one else died.
From what I've read, Photo...the FA's sitting in the tail, were ejected stapped in their jumpseats. They lived.
Yes, the FA's were strapped in. The tail section their jump seats were attached to, separated from the plane. They lived.
The 3 passengers that were ejected from the plane (through the gaping hole that the separated tail left behind) all three died.
They were all in the back. Either they were in a row that lost structural integrity and/or they weren't buckled in.
We'll learn more about how these 3 became part of this distinctive group in future NTSB reports. But their membership in the ejected pasengers group and 100% correlation to the group of pasengers that died, seems an intereting point of examination.

If this isn't an admonishment for wearing your seatbelt, I can't imagine a better one.

Short: ALL 3 passengers who were ejected died (all sitting in the rear). No one else died.
That speaks volumes to the survivability of thier injuries.

Their death was caused by the pilot(s) lifting the nose of their aircraft. This lowered the tail section, which struck the concrete seawall. The tail strike at a steep angle caused the tail to break off, and sent crippling forces up through the pasengers sitting near the point of impact.
I would guess that a disproportionate amount of the pasengers carried out were also from the back of the plane.
