although this is not new, it still amazes me that only two (2) passengers died from the horrific accident in san francisco.
i try not to post any news related but this really hits close to home. why is that? it's because everytime i go back home, i only use one airline for the past 8 years. want to guess the airline? do you need more time? should i give any hits? if you said asiana, you are very smart.
press release from asiana:
