The Chinese students involved in Saturday?s harrowing crash landing in San Francisco will soon get some additional support.
A group of 17 family members, school administrators and local government officials from their area left on Monday morning with plans to fly to San Francisco later in the day, according to officials at the school the students attended. The group includes family members of the two dead girls and those of two badly injured ones.
South Korea?s Asiana Airlines has identified the dead girls as Wang Linjia and Ye Mengyuan, both 16 years old.
The family and officials were leaving from Jiangshan, the county in China?s eastern Zhejiang province where the school is based. Once in the U.S., the administrators plan to assess the next step for the students, many of whom lost luggage and personal effects like glasses and mobile phones.
Nicknamed Jiangzhong, the school is a multi-building complex of gray brick with a sports track in the center. The well-regarded school is relatively large with enrollment of up to 800 students each year, but on Monday was quiet for the summer holidays. Aside from a contingent of reporters, there was little sign on campus of the tragedy that involved its students.
