A San Francisco Fire Department spokeswoman said Monday that the agency is still investigating which rig ran over and killed a 16-year-old Asiana Airlines crash survivor, and infrared equipment wouldnt have had any bearing on the situation. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that a two-axle truck believed to have run over Ye Meng Yuan as it moved to get a better position to spray foam on fire was not equipped with infrared imaging technology now required by federal law. However, fire spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said officials are still probing which vehicle was responsible for the girls death after Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed July 6. "Our investigation is not complete," she said. "I cannot tell you what vehicle was involved."
The first trucks to respond were foam-throwing trucks, but it is unlikely Yuan was killed during that initial response, Talmadge said.
