First of all, best wishes to all involved. I will not go into any speculations about the crash. The NTSB will get their data and we will know the facts when they are ready.
The one thing that really gets under my skin though, and I know it was already mentioned, is seeing the pics that some people actually opened the overhead bins and got their luggage. There are still people exiting the burning plane in the pictures behind them so it is not like they were the last ones out and "Why not get it?" I really wish I could grab some of those people and ask them if there was something in that bag so precious that it was worth loosing lives because they had to slow people down getting off the plane.

Just read a Reuters report that said the three captains had a combined 10,000 hours of experience between them, per the Asiana CEO. Sorry to say but, WOW! Really not much experience on that flight deck.

Please stop listening to the news experts. While JetBlue flew around burning of fuel for a turned nose wheel, the experts said "pilots practice this all the time". No pilot in the history of aviation had ever practiced that.
We are all better off reading speculation on here from our knowledge and experience.
I am just glad to see the fatality count so low. Hope all the others whom are critical will recover.
