Some of the injured are said to have severe road rash as if they skid on pavement. And one of the girls killed was found on the runway and the other a mile(?) away. So it appears passengers were being ejected from the plane as it skid down the run away.

The pilots may have been confused about their speed.

“The target speed for the approach of Asiana Flight 214 was 137 knots, and the crew can be heard on the cockpit voice recorder acknowledging the speed, Hersman said.”

“But the speed was significantly below 137 knots, and “we are not talking about a few knots,” she said.”

Will the cause of this air speed differential ( readout via pilot HUD, against actual physical speed) be defined in this:

Did the pilots know this 777 aircraft speed was well below the requirement for a landing, perhaps I have the facts wrong?!
