Officials say two kinds of equipment, the autopilot and auto-throttle, did not appear to have failed. American and South Korean officials are working together on the investigation. Asiana is Korea's second largest airline after Korean Air.
Asiana Flight 214 was carrying more than 300 people from Seoul to the United States. They included 141 Chinese, 77 Koreans and 61 Americans. Two passengers died after the crash. More than 180 people were taken to California hospitals for treatment. They were injured when the airplane, a Boeing 777, crash landed.
Information from the plane's flight data recorder shows that the aircraft was traveling too slowly as it came in for a landing. The landing gear struck a seawall at the end of the airport runway, causing the tail end of the plane to break off.
Investigators are also attempting to understand events that led to a 90-second delay in the order for everyone to leave the airplane. The chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, Deborah Hersman, met with reporters Thursday in San Francisco. She said her investigators had questioned six of the 12 flight attendants. The other six remained hospitalized.上周六，韩亚航空客机在旧金山机场（着陆时）失事。美国调查员于本周检查了飞机残骸。官方称，自动驾驶仪和自动油门并没有失灵的迹象。美韩双方官员正共同致力于此项调查。韩亚航空是韩国第二大航空公司，仅次于大韩航空。
这架从首尔飞往美国的韩亚航空214航班当时载有超过300名乘客，其中包括141名中国人、77名韩国人和61名美国人。事故造成两名乘客死亡，超过180人被送往加利福尼亚的医院接受治疗。他们在这架波音777飞机迫降时受伤。
根据飞机的飞行数据记录显示，飞机将要着陆时飞行速度过慢，导致起落架撞到机场跑道尾端的防波堤，并造成尾翼折断。
调查员同时试图了解疏散乘客的命令为何会延迟90秒钟才下达。美国国家运输安全委员会主席德波拉·赫斯曼女士周四在旧金山与记者见面。她表示委员会的调查员已经询问了12名空乘中的六名，其余六名仍在住院治疗。
