This accident sure looks like it is "controlled descent into terrain" i.e. the pilot flew the plane into the ground. This accident only serves as a testament to just how amazing a Boeing 777 aircraft is. It's absolutely remarkable how few fatalities there were and even 1/3 of the passengers essentially walked away.griffin said:
I cannot see how this reflects poorly on Boeing.
Yeah, perhaps not. Initial reports didn't mention that the plane actually hit the seawall just forward of the tail, causing it to shear off. I'll agree it's good that the plane didn't totally disintegrate during the crash, but suspect that was more a matter of chance than especially great design and construction.rs said:

Just wanted to mention here, that it's one of the three recent emergency landings that has something to do with Athens/Greece. Don't know if it means anything, maybe not at all, but just found it curious.
Here are the other two. The last one occurred today in Israel.

Not to bring up bad vibes, but the article on crash of Metro jet Airbus A321 in Sinai used the picture of the incident of Asiana Flight 214.
That's the Zionist for you. If you get my drift.

Asiana Airlines has been ordered to suspend its journey between Seoul and San Francisco for 45 days, with the South Korean Supreme Court validating the government's decision that staff training was inadequate - a decision made after the crash the July 2013 landing that left three dead and more than 180 wounded injured.
Six years after the Boeing 777-200ER accident of the South Korean private company operating flight 214 between Seoul-Incheon and San Francisco airport, the country's justice has delivered its final verdict: Asiana Airlines will have to suspend for 45 days this route, currently operated daily by Airbus A350-900. Reservations are now closed from March 3 to April 16, 2020, the daily rotation to resume the next day.
A spokesman for the Star Alliance company estimates that the suspension will cost about 8.4 million euros, while the passenger side the government intends to ask carriers present on this axis (in this case its alliance partner United Airlines and rival Korean Air) to use larger aircraft to minimize the impact on customers.
The sanction does not settle the affairs of Asiana Airlines, which is crumbling under a debt of 2.05 billion euros to financial institutions and must also deal with the slowdown in air transport in the country, a consequence of the crisis with Japan, and low-cost competition. Its owner, the Kumho Asiana Group, is also looking to sell 31% of its capital (as well as its holdings among others in the Air Seoul and Air Busan subsidiaries) so that it can continue to operate.
The South Korean government imposed the 45-day suspension in November 2014, saying the crash was due to security breaches. Asiana Airlines' 777-200ER, which departed Seoul with 291 passengers and 16 crew members, crashed on July 6, 2013, landing at San Francisco airport, with three Chinese female passengers dead and 182 people being injured. The responsibility for the accident was attributed to the pilots but also to Asiana for lack of training. Pilot-in-command Lee Kang-kook flew only 43 hours in 777, being in training on this aircraft, and landed in San Francisco only in 747 before the day of the crash.
