Newly released videos obtained by CBS News suggest that the 16-year-old girl who was run over by a fire truck and killed after surviving a crash on ill-fated Asiana Airlines Flight 214 might have been visible to rescue workers, contradicting earlier reports that she was covered with fire-extinguishing foam.

Ye Meng Yuan died at San Francisco International Airport in July. One video, shot from a camera attached to an emergency worker's helmet, captures footage of a firefighter shouting warnings about Ye to a driver of a rescue vehicle.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, stop, stop! There's a body. ... There's a body right there, right in front of you," the rescue worker told the driver in one video. CBS News said it acquired the footage from someone close to Ye's family.

"From KPIX:

The video shows about 15 minutes after a fire rig driver was first alerted (to) Ye’s location on the ground, he ran her over. The helmet cam shows another truck also drove over Ye’s body minutes later."

They saw the “body” when they arrived and never checked for vital signs. 15 minutes later they run it over.

wow.

So much for the “they never saw her” theories.

Nothing but lies from the city since then.

Poor Vision?

Over Stimulated?

Only “might have”??!!

The video I saw shows the firemen stopping and looking at her body before they foamed the plane. However, I didn’t see them taking time to check for vital signs.

I agree. I don’t think it can be denied, I don’t see any wiggle room in this. That poor girl and her family.

She was lying there when they arrived, they did not check the vitals. They assumed she was dead. They warned people not to run over the body.

15 minutes later a different truck apparently ran her over.


Did I miss anything??

Poorly trained??!! How much training does it take to know not to run over people?

visibility was very clear when they arrived. I think they were so focused on the fire, they totally overlooked her.

This video proves that the city and officials have been lying since the crash. This was THEIR video, they must have had access to this and they lied and lied for months!

The lawsuit discovery I assume is how this video was brought to light.

I *think* that information may have been in a story the DailyMail ran yesterday?

poorly trained on how to deal with the stress of a major event.

he probably saw the body and then forgot about her as he had too many other things to process.

I can’t believe he would just run her over on purpose.

Yep. The people at the top who were denying it and then said the girl was not visible and all that in the city and airport authority probably had this video from the first couple of days. Lied lied lied.

There need to be criminal charges for that.

Geroul @6: "Nothing but lies from the city since then"

Lies from a Demonrat-controlled government bureaucracy... it's like finding out the pope is a Roman Catholic.
