First Responder Communication Failures in Asiana Crash
According to a report on the ABC7-San Francisco website, a firefighter carried 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan from the back of the Asiana flight 214 airplane and left her near the left wing, a hazardous place as the huge ARFF rigs jockeyed to fight the fire. San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White says a blanket of foam may have covered the girl, and Mobile 37, the truck firefighter Elyse Duckett was driving, did not have Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) that can pick up a person’s heat.
