New Video of Tarmac Death in Asiana Crash
MALVEAUX: Now to a stunning new video, this was taken moments after the Asiana jetliner crash in San Francisco last summer. Now, this is what it shows. It shows emergency responders actually being warned twice that a body was lying on the runway, and it was a teenager who survived the crash, but then died after being run over by those rescuers. We're going to get details from Dan Simon.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, stop, stop! There's a body right -- there's a body right there, right in front of you.</s>DAN SIMON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Chilling new video obtained by CBS News giving us a rare, up-close look from a firefighter's helmet-cam, the chaotic moments first-responders encountered after Asiana Flight 214 crashed landed in San Francisco last July. Sixteen-year-old Ye Meng Yuan was accidentally run over twice by fire trucks. Her family has since filed a wrongful death claim against the city. In particularly blunt language, it accuses first-responders of deliberately and knowingly abandoning the teen where they knew she would be in harm's way.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, stop, stop! There's a body right -- there's a body right there, right in front of you.</s>SIMON: Does the new video prove the tragic accident could have been avoided? There's also this. Another camera appears to show a firefighter directing a truck around the victim.</s>CHIEF JOANNE HAYES-WHITE, SAN FRANCISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT: We're heartbroken. We're in the business of saving lives and many lives were saved that day.</s>SIMON: This video may be crucial in understanding what happened to Ye, who the coroner says survived the crash, but died from injuries she suffered after being run over. At the time, officials said Ye's body was obscured by foam and couldn't be seen by the trucks, that combined with the chaos of putting out the fire and rescuing victims.</s>MAYOR EDWIN LEE, SAN FRANCISCO: I will say this. It was very, very hectic, very emergency-mode at the crash site minutes after the airplane came to rest and there was smoke inhalation and people were coming out of the fuselage as fast as they could.</s>SIMON: The spectacular crash of Asiana Flight 214 was captured on amateur video and on surveillance cameras, the Boeing 777 descending too low on landing, crashing into the seawall and cart-wheeling across the runway, tragically claiming the lives of three passengers and ejecting flight attendants from the aircraft on impact. A court may eventually have to decide whether fire crews in this video were negligent and should be held accountable for the teenager's death.</s>MALVEAUX: Dan Simon is joining us live from San Francisco airport. And Dan, the first question I have here, when you listen to the video and you hear the fighters, the EMS guys saying there is a body, right? They warn there is a body on the runway. Does that indicate at all, suggest, that they knew that the victim was already deceased? Do we know if that is the suggestion there?</s>SIMON: You know, that's a very important question, and I can't answer that with any certainty. And I'm not sure anyone can. I haven't seen the videotape in its entirety, and it's not clear if the tape would even reveal that. What I can tell you is that the family alleges that the fire department did not take the adequate steps to prevent this tragedy. In effect, they allege that the fighters were sloppy and careless. At this point, the fire department is not commenting publicly about the videotape, Suzanne. All they have said, they don't comment on any pending litigation. I think it is important, Suzanne, though, to remember that there were many heroic fighters that day who did save lives. But as for this incident, I think there are some questions in terms of why did it take so long for this videotape to come out. And clearly, there is a perception here that fighters or the fire department is not being fully transparent with respect to this incident. So they have some questions still left to answer.</s>MALVEAUX: All right. Dan, keep asking those questions. We'll bring them on as soon as they decide they're going to respond to all of this. Thank you very much, Dan. Appreciate it. We're also turning to this. A mix up in Missouri, where Southwest pilots landed the wrong airport Sunday. Were they actually distracted by a third person who was in the cockpit? Investigators, they're trying to answer that question today, because the plane landed at a small county airport just about seven miles from the main Branson airport where it was supposed to go and came within a few hundred feet of sliding down an embankment. Southwest says it let an employee ride in the cockpit jump seat, and it's perfectly legal, but the FAA rules state that the pilots, they can't chitchat. They've got to be all about business when they're taking off and landing. Though those pilots, they are now on paid leave, they are investigating. Police in Roswell, New Mexico say the 12-year-old who opened fire in the middle school may have warned some classmates to stay home before yesterday's attack. Two children were wounded after the young gunman began firing in the gym with a .20-gauge shotgun. But more students could have been shot if it weren't for a social studies teacher, John Masterson. During a vigil last night, New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez said that that teacher risked his own life, convincing the student to put down his weapon.</s>GOVERNOR SUSANA MARTINEZ (R), NEW MEXICO: Mr. Masterson, who is a hero, who stood there and allowed the gun to be pointed right at him, for him to talk down that young boy, to drop the gun, so that there would be no more young kids hurt.</s>MALVEAUX: Just absolutely heroic. The 12-year-old is in state custody now. Investigators searched his locker, his home, looking for any kind of motive. The 11-year-old boy who was shot, well, he's in critical condition. And the 13-year-old girl, thankfully, she is in stable condition. President Obama, about to make some major changes at the NSA, not surprising.
