about the asiana flight that crashed in san francisco over the weekend. we learned none of the four pilots were drug tested after the crash. the reason? foreign airlines don t have to follow american regulations which require pilots be checked for drugs or alcohol after crashes. and also apparently two of the flight attendants were sitting in the back of the plane, were ejected outside of the airplane and survived. amazing other stories coming to light. brian: one took out passengers on her back. turned out she had a fractured tailbone, did it any way. and you can see some of this blurry video. it is incredible what flight attendants are trained to do and how most of them act under pressure. steve: emergency slides were supposed to go out, went in, essentially suffocating one of the flight attendants until somebody came in with an ax. supposed to go out, not in. more stuff they re going to have to figure out what went wrong. phao epb while, did something go meanwhile did somethin

it was taking the same ainge that they always come in, like this and wheels were down. and then i it was wrong, three, five seconds out i said i started calling to my fiancee, i said, this didn t look right, this doesn t look right. and the wheels, there were too low, too soon. so this is the runway. came in look this. and i was watching the wheels and it just hit like that and the whole thing collapsed immediately. in never had a chance. what followed impact, passengers able to escape the burning plane onnen natable emergency slides. after a stop off the runway, we heard from the san francisco fire chief, here s the latest numbers. 307 people were on board that flight. of those, 182 taken to area
