Investigators say the Asiana Airlines jet that crashed at the San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, killing two passengers and sending more than 180 to hospitals, may have been on the verge of stalling because it was flying too slowly.
The plane clipped the sea wall as it came in for a landing, crashing onto the runway and breaking apart.
The airline said today that the pilot of the plane was experienced but was landing a Boeing 777 for the first time at San Francisco airport.
