"Asiana crash payouts could differ" Associated Press, July 15, 2013

SAN FRANCISCO — The plane that crashed at the San Francisco airport was carrying 141 Chinese, 77 South Koreans, 64 Americans, three Canadians, three Indians, one Japanese, one Vietnamese, and one person from France when it approached the runway too low and too slow. The Boeing 777 hit a sea wall before sliding across the tarmac and catching fire.

Three girls from China were killed and 182 people injured, most not seriously.

Two girls, Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, both 16, died right away. It is unclear, however, whether Ye died in the crash or in the chaotic aftermath. The other victim killed, Liu Yipeng, 15, died Friday at a hospital where she had been in critical condition since the July 6 crash.
