Anchor: The cabin crew of the Asiana Airlines passenger jet that crash-landed at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday is being lauded for its brave efforts. The destroyed Boeing 777 had caught fire by the time the last flight attendant evacuated but no one was left behind in the cabin.
Kim Soyon reports. 
 
Report: The cabin had filled with smoke and the flames were climbing by the time cabin manager Lee Yun-hye evacuated from the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214. She was the last person on board.
 
Lee and her fellow crew members are now being hailed for their heroic efforts in the immediate aftermath of the the Boeing 777's crash landing. Of the 12 flight attendants, seven were injured when the plane smashed into the runway at San Francisco International Airport. The other five led evacuation efforts, largely from the left side of the plane.

San Francisco’s fire chief praised Lee’s efforts during the evacuation, calling her a hero. Putting the passengers as her first priority, Lee did not learn until later at a hospital that she had broken her tailbone.

In an interview, an American passenger recalled that a tiny female attendant with tears covering her face ran around carrying people on her back. He said she was crying but very calm. 
 
Another senior crew member, Kim Ji-yeon, is known to have carried a child on her back and ran some 500 meters to evacuate the fifth grader whose leg was badly hurt.
 
Of the 12-member crew, two Koreans and two Thai remain hospitalized in San Francisco. Two of them have serious injuries, including a Thai attendant with a serious head concussion. 
 
Tragically, two 16-year old Chinese girls were killed when the flight went down. Both were apparently thrown from the plane when the tail section was severed upon initial impact.
 
Astoundingly, 305 of the 307 souls on board lived through the crash and their story of survival in due in large part to the efforts of the crew.
