Not the Fire but the Fire truck that got her
A teenager survived the Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco only to be struck and killed by a fire vehicle rushing to fight a blaze that broke out on the plane, authorities said on Friday.
As the wreckage of Asiana Flight 214 burned, Ye Meng Yuan was lying on the ground just 30 feet (9 meters) away, buried by the firefighting foam rescue workers were spraying to douse the flames.
No one knows exactly how the 16-year-old Chinese student got to that spot, but officials say one thing is clear now: She somehow survived the crash.
And in the chaotic moments that followed — flames devouring the fuselage, those aboard escaping by emergency slides, flight attendants frantically cutting away seat belts to free passengers — a fire truck ran over Yuan, killing her.
Authorities confirmed last week that Yuan was hit by a vehicle racing to extinguish the flames in the plane. Police said she was on the ground and covered in the foam that rescuers had sprayed on the wreckage.
"But for reasons unknown, the coroner has confirmed that this young lady who was in the area of the crash was run over by a fire apparatus. This was a very tragic accident."

Its really difficult to deal with sudden loss of the loved ones but its not in our hand Brit and we all have to take this path. :(
The sun came up this morning
It wasn't very bright
Our dark mood cast a shadow
It's hard to see the light.
He was a very good man
And, now his life is done
The emptiness and loss we feel
Makes it hard to see the sun.
Tomorrow is a brand new day
May the pain and sadness lighten
We will remember all his love
And, the sky will brighten.
Gone is not forgotten
His love remains behind
He's travelled in a new direction
Love knows no space or time.
Be strong Brit.

Just a flying visit. My father passed away suddenly so I have been otherwise engaged. May he rest in peace ..
Accidents happen. May she rest in peace.
I suppose they did not have the proper training to handle such a situation and ended up running over this student in the confusion.
WTH
That's ridiculous, she survived from the crush and instead of helping her they kill her by a truck.
