Animated Video...The most detailed and realistic look at the Asiana Air 214 crash landing at San Francisco

A new “forensic animation”, made by Eyewitness Animationas and published by several media outlets, provides the most detailed and realistic look (in terms of airspeeds, altitudes, etc. ATC audio recordings are not synchronized), of the crash landing of Asiana Air 214 at San Francisco.
                  


                                                     
                         
The animation is particularly interesting as it also shows the path the plane should have taken and the path it did take as it crash landed on runway 28L at KSFO on Jul. 6, 2013.
The animation shows the plane getting below the glide path and the pilot pulling up when it’s already too late to recover: the main landing gear hits the sea wall and the tail detaches from the plane.
Then, the left engine breaks away from the wing and the plane becomes airborne once again as it yaws and slides on the grass.
