we spoke with debra hersman, the ntsb chair, saying they only got through interviewing two pilots because of a translation issue from korean to english. the idea is, perhaps this morning, they would interview the other two pilots, one of those pilots being the flying pilot, the pilot that was at the controls when asiana flight 214 crashed at sfo. the safety agency, ntsb, is supposed to be holding a news conference later this afternoon and the idea they impart on us some of the information they glean from these interviews. you might recall that the captain was in training, having never landed a 777 at sfo leading to questions of why didn't his copilot who was experienced in the aircraft take over, and if he did, why did the plane crash? we have a better y50id of what the timeline was like. about a minute and 12 auto pilot was disengaged. 34 seconds later, 500 feet, 134 knots, below the 137-knot minimum required for a safe landing. it takes oobt 28 seconds before the crew realizes they have a problem and try to correct. at eight seconds before impact, the plane is now at 112 knots, 125 feet

we just spoke with the ntsb chair, debra hersman, who based her operations here at this hotel here in south san francisco. we wanted to ask her specifically about the pilot waiting 90 seconds to begin evacuation of that airplane after saturday morning's crash. she did point out to us that the front of the cabin of the airplane along with the cockpit was in relatively good shape immediately after the crash. in such good shape that to anyone who didn't realize the plane had crashed, if they were sitting inside, they would think that nothing had happened. it wasn't crumpled. there was no obvious damage. initially after the crash one of the flight attendants did knock on the cockpit door, asked the pilot if they should begin an evacuation. the pilot said no, tell the passengers to stay calm, stay in their seats while the pilot radioed his emergency into the control tower. >> at about the same time she was issuing the public address announcement we had another flight attendant further back in the airplane who could see a fire starting on the right-hand side about row ten. he got that infor
