Flight Attendants Being Called Heroes For Their Actions in Asiana Flight 214 Crash

Categories: Industry News | News

Asiana Airlines attendants are being lauded as heroes for their role in helping passengers to safety after the crash-landing of Flight 214 at San Francisco on Saturday.

Lee Yoon-hye, described by The Associated Press as the “cabin manger” who was “apparently the last person to leave the burning plane,” was among those being called out for her efforts to lead fliers to safety.

Speaking to AP, Lee described evacuation in the moments after the crash-landing, in which 305 of 307 people on-board the flight survived.

She tells the news agency that one of her colleagues carried a frightened elementary school-aged boy on her back off the plane and down the emergency exit slide.

AP adds “Lee herself worked to put out fires and usher passengers to safety despite a broken tailbone that kept her standing throughout a news briefing with mostly South Korean reporters at a San Francisco hotel. She said she didn’t know how badly she was hurt until a doctor at a San Francisco hospital later treated her.”
