Third San Francisco plane-crash passenger dies

A young girl who was on board a US plane that crash landed died yesterday, as it was confirmed that one of the two Chinese teenagers killed in the disaster was hit by a fire engine.

No one knows yet whether the two teenagers lived through the initial impact of Asiana Airlines crash at San Francisco airport last Saturday, but police and fire officials confirmed yesterday that Ye Meng Yuan, 16, was hit by a fire truck racing to extinguish the blazing Boeing 777.
