NTSB Deborah Hersman is Awesome 7/7/13 News Conference Asiana 214

Airplane Life has finalized our investigation of this incident.

Asiana 214 crashed on landing at SFO due to pilot error. Contributing factors are lack of crew experience and training.

Boeing's design was not a factor in any way.

Over the coming months, Deborah Hersman's team will find out more useful information, but we are done.
