It shows that another firefighter pointed out Ye to the driver of the vehicle less than 15 minutes before he ran over her. And the same rig sprayed much of the fire-retardant foam that covered and hid Ye, who was still alive, from other drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'The rig video shows him headed straight for her.

They also did not mark her with a casualty flag, as is common at disaster scenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Chronicle says a source provided the video on condition that it not be shared publicly because it is so graphic. Van Derbeken talked Friday with KQED's Mina Kim about the video and the new perspective it gives on the Asiana tragedy: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/128922385&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his story, Van Derbeken \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Fire-rig-alerted-to-Asiana-victim-before-running-5130278.php\" target=\"_blank\">described the sequence of events\u003c/a> it shows:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The rig called Rescue 10, driven by San Francisco firefighter Jimmy Yee, approaches the smoking plane within minutes after the 11:27 a.m. crash.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Another firefighter waves his arms to direct Yee around the girl, who is lying alone on an open field of grass. Other passengers have already evacuated the area.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rescue 10 drives around Ye and sprays foam on the plane wing.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Yee circles the rig around to its original spot and starts spraying foam in the area in front of the wing (arguably to protect a fuel leak, Van Derbeken said), partially covering the girl with foam. By now there are no firefighters near her. An autopsy would later reveal that she is still alive during this time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Then, at 11:50 a.m., Van Derbeken said, \"The rig video shows him headed straight for her. It's a kind of a perilous thing to watch, because there's a partly covered human who is doomed, arguably, by this rig coming straight for it.\" Rescue 10 runs over Ye.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Video from a separate, helmet-mounted camera shows that Ye is completely obscured by foam 11 minutes later, when a different rig runs over her. Van Derbeken said it's unclear whether she is still alive before this second hit.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Fire Department has not responded directly to the video but has called Ye's death a \"tragic accident.\" Van Derbeken's story included this account from firefighter Roger Phillips, the one who initially motioned Rescue 10 around Ye:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Phillips later told investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board that the girl was in the fetal position, her eyes rolled up, her face waxen and wearing a grimace.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ye's parents filed a claim against the city of San Francisco earlier this week, saying rescuers were reckless and poorly trained. The city has 45 days to respond, and if it denies the claim, Ye's parents may sue. A key fight in any legal case is likely to be about whether the legal protections that normally cover firefighters working in the line of duty should apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Derbeken said the video evidence raises questions about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Its importance lies as much in what it doesn't show as what it does. It doesn't show a chaotic situation. It doesn't show many, many people scurrying about or victims being triaged on the ground. It shows one victim being identified as such and this rig directed around it. ... The idea that this is a highly dynamic and complex situation -- it's one truck, one plane, one victim that's out there in plain view, initially.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ye was one of three Chinese teens who died in the July 6 crash. The 304 other passengers on Flight 214 from Seoul survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her death has prompted new training for firefighters who work at San Francisco International Airport, including 40 to 80 hours of advanced instruction at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Other passengers have already evacuated the area.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rescue 10 drives around Ye and sprays foam on the plane wing.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Yee circles the rig around to its original spot and starts spraying foam in the area in front of the wing (arguably to protect a fuel leak, Van Derbeken said), partially covering the girl with foam. By now there are no firefighters near her. An autopsy would later reveal that she is still alive during this time.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Then, at 11:50 a.m., Van Derbeken said, \"The rig video shows him headed straight for her. It's a kind of a perilous thing to watch, because there's a partly covered human who is doomed, arguably, by this rig coming straight for it.\" Rescue 10 runs over Ye.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Video from a separate, helmet-mounted camera shows that Ye is completely obscured by foam 11 minutes later, when a different rig runs over her. Van Derbeken said it's unclear whether she is still alive before this second hit.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Fire Department has not responded directly to the video but has called Ye's death a \"tragic accident.\" Van Derbeken's story included this account from firefighter Roger Phillips, the one who initially motioned Rescue 10 around Ye:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Phillips later told investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board that the girl was in the fetal position, her eyes rolled up, her face waxen and wearing a grimace.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Ye's parents filed a claim against the city of San Francisco earlier this week, saying rescuers were reckless and poorly trained. The city has 45 days to respond, and if it denies the claim, Ye's parents may sue. A key fight in any legal case is likely to be about whether the legal protections that normally cover firefighters working in the line of duty should apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Van Derbeken said the video evidence raises questions about that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Its importance lies as much in what it doesn't show as what it does. It doesn't show a chaotic situation. It doesn't show many, many people scurrying about or victims being triaged on the ground. It shows one victim being identified as such and this rig directed around it. ... The idea that this is a highly dynamic and complex situation -- it's one truck, one plane, one victim that's out there in plain view, initially.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ye was one of three Chinese teens who died in the July 6 crash. The 304 other passengers on Flight 214 from Seoul survived.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her death has prompted new training for firefighters who work at San Francisco International Airport, including 40 to 80 hours of advanced instruction at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

A district attorney's office spokeswoman has clarified that only quotes from survivors are used in the campaign; the images are stock photos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original post:\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OAKLAND (BCN) -- Billboards and posters bearing the faces of former child sex trafficking victims and the stories of how they escaped a life of sexual exploitation will be popping up around Oakland as part of an extensive public awareness campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign was launched by Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley at a news conference at the \u003ca title=\"Alameda County Family Justice Center\" href=\"http://www.acfjc.org\">Alameda County Family Justice Center\u003c/a> in Oakland Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Our message is loud and clear,\" O'Malley said. \"Our community will not tolerate the sale and purchase of children for sex. Every citizen must be informed about the crisis and understand how to be part of the solution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign, which is set to continue through Feb. 2, is part of the district attorney's ongoing efforts to combat child prostitution in Oakland, a persistent and highly visible problem that continues to grow each year, according to O'Malley. Since 2006, the district attorney's office has prosecuted more than 325 local sex traffickers, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Malley said the new campaign is intended mainly to educate the community about the \"staggering number\" of children who are victims of sex trafficking in Oakland. Nola Brantley, executive director of the Oakland-based group \u003ca title=\"MISSSEY: Motivating, Inspiring, Supporting and Serving Sexually Exploited Youth\" href=\"http://www.misssey.org\">Motivating, Inspiring, Supporting and Serving Sexually Exploited Youth,\u003c/a> or MISSSEY, estimated that the organization helps about 250 local victims of child sex trafficking annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MISSSEY, which collaborated with the district attorney's office on the campaign, provides a drop-in recovery center and case managers to work with sexually exploited minors and help connect them with housing, jobs and educational resources. Other local agencies that help child sex trafficking victims include \u003ca title=\"BAWAR\" href=\"http://www.bawar.org\">Bay Area Women Against Rape,\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"Covenant House California (CHC) : Bay Area\" href=\"http://covenanthousecalifornia.org/bay-area-pg.php\">Covenant House\u003c/a> and \u003ca title=\"West Coast Children's Clinic\" href=\"http://www.westcoastcc.org\">West Coast Children's Clinic.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The demand for help from local victims has only grown in recent years, Brantley said at the news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The city of Oakland is known throughout the state and the nation as a red-light district for the buying and selling of children,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to O'Malley's office, the FBI has deemed the Bay Area a \"high-intensity child prostitution area\" and identified Oakland as a hub for the crime. But the district attorney emphasized that the minors involved in this type of crime are victims, not criminals -- an important distinction she hopes the billboard and poster campaign makes clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> The posters will be put up in bus shelters, and the billboards will be displayed along major thoroughfares. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The perception of child sex workers as criminals \"is what allows some societies to keep them invisible,\" O'Malley said. \"Here in Oakland ... we don't make these children invisible,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brantley said many of the child sex trafficking victims MISSSEY sees were sexually abused before being prostituted and have long family histories of domestic abuse. A large percentage are foster children or have come from otherwise unstable home environments and are extremely vulnerable targets for pimps, who may lure their victims with promises of a safe home and a loving relationship, according to MISSSEY.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brantley and O'Malley said today that they are hopeful the new public awareness campaign will reach both current victims and children who are at risk of becoming involved in sex trafficking in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ads are also designed to reach victims who may be hesitant to accept help from outreach workers on the street where their pimps may be watching, said Bhavna Sharma, who helps oversee MISSSEY's mentorship program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The posters, in addition to featuring survivors of child sex trafficking, show a picture of a hotel bed alongside messages such as \"Being a prostituted teen isn't a choice. It's slavery.\" Many of the ads also list numbers victims can call for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The posters will be put up in bus shelters, and the billboards will be displayed prominently along major thoroughfares in Oakland. A team of graphic designers and copywriters donated their time to design the images and messages on the posters and billboards, and Clear Channel Outdoor donated the advertising space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victims of child sex trafficking are urged to call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at (510) 645-9388 or (888) 373-7888 for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community members are also encouraged to report anonymous tips about child sex trafficking in their area by calling the Alameda County District Attorney's Human Exploitation and Trafficking Watch tip line at (510) 208-4959.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Every citizen must be informed about the crisis and understand how to be part of the solution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign, which is set to continue through Feb. 2, is part of the district attorney's ongoing efforts to combat child prostitution in Oakland, a persistent and highly visible problem that continues to grow each year, according to O'Malley. Since 2006, the district attorney's office has prosecuted more than 325 local sex traffickers, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Malley said the new campaign is intended mainly to educate the community about the \"staggering number\" of children who are victims of sex trafficking in Oakland. Nola Brantley, executive director of the Oakland-based group \u003ca title=\"MISSSEY: Motivating, Inspiring, Supporting and Serving Sexually Exploited Youth\" href=\"http://www.misssey.org\">Motivating, Inspiring, Supporting and Serving Sexually Exploited Youth,\u003c/a> or MISSSEY, estimated that the organization helps about 250 local victims of child sex trafficking annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MISSSEY, which collaborated with the district attorney's office on the campaign, provides a drop-in recovery center and case managers to work with sexually exploited minors and help connect them with housing, jobs and educational resources. Other local agencies that help child sex trafficking victims include \u003ca title=\"BAWAR\" href=\"http://www.bawar.org\">Bay Area Women Against Rape,\u003c/a> \u003ca title=\"Covenant House California (CHC) : Bay Area\" href=\"http://covenanthousecalifornia.org/bay-area-pg.php\">Covenant House\u003c/a> and \u003ca title=\"West Coast Children's Clinic\" href=\"http://www.westcoastcc.org\">West Coast Children's Clinic.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The demand for help from local victims has only grown in recent years, Brantley said at the news conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The city of Oakland is known throughout the state and the nation as a red-light district for the buying and selling of children,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to O'Malley's office, the FBI has deemed the Bay Area a \"high-intensity child prostitution area\" and identified Oakland as a hub for the crime. But the district attorney emphasized that the minors involved in this type of crime are victims, not criminals -- an important distinction she hopes the billboard and poster campaign makes clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> The posters will be put up in bus shelters, and the billboards will be displayed along major thoroughfares. \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The perception of child sex workers as criminals \"is what allows some societies to keep them invisible,\" O'Malley said. \"Here in Oakland ... we don't make these children invisible,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brantley said many of the child sex trafficking victims MISSSEY sees were sexually abused before being prostituted and have long family histories of domestic abuse. A large percentage are foster children or have come from otherwise unstable home environments and are extremely vulnerable targets for pimps, who may lure their victims with promises of a safe home and a loving relationship, according to MISSSEY.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brantley and O'Malley said today that they are hopeful the new public awareness campaign will reach both current victims and children who are at risk of becoming involved in sex trafficking in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ads are also designed to reach victims who may be hesitant to accept help from outreach workers on the street where their pimps may be watching, said Bhavna Sharma, who helps oversee MISSSEY's mentorship program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The posters, in addition to featuring survivors of child sex trafficking, show a picture of a hotel bed alongside messages such as \"Being a prostituted teen isn't a choice. It's slavery.\" Many of the ads also list numbers victims can call for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The posters will be put up in bus shelters, and the billboards will be displayed prominently along major thoroughfares in Oakland. A team of graphic designers and copywriters donated their time to design the images and messages on the posters and billboards, and Clear Channel Outdoor donated the advertising space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victims of child sex trafficking are urged to call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at (510) 645-9388 or (888) 373-7888 for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community members are also encouraged to report anonymous tips about child sex trafficking in their area by calling the Alameda County District Attorney's Human Exploitation and Trafficking Watch tip line at (510) 208-4959.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The Department of Finance estimates it costs the state $29,500 a year for each inmate housed out of state, although that amount is less than the average-per-inmate cost within California because mostly younger and healthier prisoners are selected for the transfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges last year ordered the state not to move more inmates out of state, but Beard said he expects the judges would lift that ban when negotiations end this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An additional delay would give the state time to open an expansion of the Stockton medical facility this spring to house about 1,100 mentally ill inmates. The state last week also detailed plans to build three medium-security housing units over the next 2½ years at the Richard J.

All you have to do to get it is sign an agreement. The document often sets as a condition for your goodbye payment a promise that you won't say anything bad about the company when you leave. Most people, I've got a feeling, think about the bills they have to pay, swallow their scruples about giving up the right to speak their mind, and sign on the dotted line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people, but not all. Writer Will Blythe, recently put out of his job at San Francisco digital publisher \u003ca href=\"https://www.byliner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Byliner\u003c/a>, faced just that decision. In a piece published Friday on The New York Times' op-ed page (\"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/03/opinion/fired-speak-no-evil.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Fired? Speak No Evil\u003c/a>\"), Blythe described a document he was asked to sign. It's mostly standard-issue termination stuff, until he gets to clause No. 12, described in the editorial:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“You agree,” it reads, “that you will never make any negative or disparaging statements (orally or in writing) about the Company or its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, products, services or business practices, except as required by law.” If I don’t agree to this nondisparagement clause, I will not receive my severance — in this case, the equivalent of two weeks of pay. Two weeks? Must be hard times out in San Francisco, or otherwise why the dirt parachute — and by the way, is that the sort of remark I won’t be allowed to make if I sign clause No. 12? ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>...

All you have to do to get it is sign an agreement. The document often sets as a condition for your goodbye payment a promise that you won't say anything bad about the company when you leave. Most people, I've got a feeling, think about the bills they have to pay, swallow their scruples about giving up the right to speak their mind, and sign on the dotted line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most people, but not all. Writer Will Blythe, recently put out of his job at San Francisco digital publisher \u003ca href=\"https://www.byliner.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Byliner\u003c/a>, faced just that decision. In a piece published Friday on The New York Times' op-ed page (\"\u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/03/opinion/fired-speak-no-evil.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Fired? Speak No Evil\u003c/a>\"), Blythe described a document he was asked to sign. It's mostly standard-issue termination stuff, until he gets to clause No. 12, described in the editorial:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“You agree,” it reads, “that you will never make any negative or disparaging statements (orally or in writing) about the Company or its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, products, services or business practices, except as required by law.” If I don’t agree to this nondisparagement clause, I will not receive my severance — in this case, the equivalent of two weeks of pay. Two weeks? Must be hard times out in San Francisco, or otherwise why the dirt parachute — and by the way, is that the sort of remark I won’t be allowed to make if I sign clause No. 12? ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>... As quaint as this may seem, giving up the right to speak and write freely, even if that means speaking or writing negatively, strikes me as the unholiest of deals for a writer and an editor to accept.

I saw how much the families suffered trying to raise money to bribe their way out of there, and I have very low tolerance for injustice. Right then and there I made my decision that one day I would be a lawyer.

It’s easy to simply say how can you uphold the law when you’re not lawful yourself. If you analyze my case, this is a civil infraction, being here waiting for my green card that’s been approved for 19 years from my dad’s application, who is a U.S. citizen. It’s a civil violation, subject to a $50 fine. That shows you how little the federal government really thinks of it as a violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was brought here as a minor. After that I applied for and was approved for a green card, so the only thing I’m doing is waiting until that green card becomes available.
