South Korea's Asiana Airlines have published statements across Chinese media, apologizing for the crash landing in San Francisco International airport last Saturday.

 

　　The company says it is sorry about the pain the fatal crash has caused to passengers and promises to deal with the aftermath.

 

　　The statements come amid an ongoing investigation over the cause of the crash which killed two Chinese teenage girls and injuring 180 others.

 

　　Earlier, one of the pilots said he was blinded by a flash of light 34 seconds before the impact.

 

　　However, the U.S National Transportation Safety Board says the light did not prevent him from seeing his instruments.

 

　　"The flying pilot stated he saw a bright source of light. Neither of the other two pilots identified the source of light. It was not discussed on the CVR. The pilot that saw the light stated that he did not believe that it affected his vision."

 

　　Interview reports also show the captains thought the airliner's speed was being controlled by an auto-throttle set for 252-kilometers per hour.

 

　　However, investigators say the aircraft came in too slow and no problems have been found in the auto-throttle.

 

　　The investigation is still ongoing.
