Evidence Suggests Asiana Flight 214 Was Landing Using ILS. Was Plane Supposed To Crash??
I’ve maintained all along that Asiana Flight 214 was supposed to crash, to kill the group of Chinese students on board, for payback for the way China handled Snowden. Now, the evidence supports my theory.
The pilots aboard the Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 that crashed in San Francisco relied on automatic equipment – an auto-throttle system – to maintain airspeed and did not realize the plane was flying too slowly until it was just 200 feet above the ground, the head of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Tuesday.

The only time a pilot would use the auto throtlle system to land is if the plane is being brought in on ILS, which is a ground based computer system that talks to the plane and lands it through computers. It’s difficult for pilots to trust a computer to land an aircraft, and it takes training. The landing of flight 214 would have been a perfect opportunity for this, since the weather was perfect.
The Asiana plane was flying well below its target speed of 137 knots during the landing attempt, and in the last seconds before the crash the pilots received an automated warning that the plane was about to stall, Hersman told reporters at a briefing.
Coffman said he could think of no reason why the plane would be flying that slowly unless the pilots had turned off the autopilot, which controls the aircraft’s navigational systems, or the autothrottle, which controls power to the engines. That would be highly unusual, especially in a wide-bodied jet like the 777, he said.
In fact, flight aware carries a pdf for instructions on landing at 28L in San Fran. It is current, and mentions nothing about the ILS being shut down, or the end of runway marker being moved….

Yet, the news is reporting the ILS was down, and the end marker of the runway, had been moved further towards the ocean, which would have confused the automatic landing system…
A white line that previously designated the end of the runway was blacked out and a new line painted further west, said Rory Kay, a training captain for a major airline who landed a plane at San Francisco the day before the crash.
The change in the runway line might have added an element of confusion to the landing, he said.
Now, since the plane didn’t crash, and kill everyone on board, they had to make sure there were some deaths of the Chinese school kids, to poke the Chinese in the eye for releasing Snowden…
Coroner Robert Foucrault said Tuesday night that investigators told the parents of 16-year-old Ye Meng Yuan that she was the victim who may have been hit by the rescue vehicle at the site of the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash.
