New footage of Asiana crash appears to contradict officials

BEIJING, Jan. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- New footage taken after the Asiana Airlines crash landing at San Francisco International Airport last summer appears to contradict the claims of officials.

The new video shows officials responding to the scene warned each other not to run over a girl lying on the tarmac near the burning plane.

US media says the video comes from a source close to the 16-year-old Chinese victim Ye Meng Yuan, who survived the plane crash but was later run over twice and killed by responding firetrucks.

Earlier, officials said Ye Meng Yuan was accidentally killed by firefighters because she was hidden by foam. A coroner later determined that Ye Meng Yuan was still alive when she was run over.

Her parents are suing the city of San Francisco, saying rescuers were reckless and poorly trained.
