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. It's a kind of a perilous thing to watch.'\u003cbr>\n\u003ccite>— Jaxon Van Derbeken\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Van Derbeken reported the video shows emergency personnel looking at the girl — whom they later reported they thought was dead — but at no point does the video show them directly checking her for signs of life. 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.

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>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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.

I think lots of people were noticing the big white motor coaches swooping into Muni bus zones around the city to carry workers to Apple, Google, Facebook and other Silicon Valley corporate campuses. But Solnit’s piece was a sort of declaration that the buses are a key part of the engine remaking the city in a particularly unfriendly way for anyone not employed with the technology industry or engaged in some other lucrative enterprise. “Most of them are gleaming white,” she wrote in opening the essay, “with dark-tinted windows, like limousines, and some days I think of them as the spaceships on which our alien overlords have landed to rule over us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyway, here we are in 2014, and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/12/20/eviction-protesters-oakland-san-francisco-target-silicon-valley-buses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the buses have become targets of protests\u003c/a> by activists fighting the sharp increase in rents and evictions in the city. The buses have also drawn their defenders, who argue mainly they cut the number of private cars crowding the roads from the city to Silicon Valley. Among those speaking up on behalf of the buses is Ben Adler, a writer for the environmental news site Grist, \u003ca href=\"http://grist.org/cities/hey-protester-leave-those-google-buses-alone/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">who took Solnit and other bus critics to task\u003c/a> for ignoring the buses’ claimed benefits:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Solnit’s complaint that Google thinks its employees are too important to “drive themselves” is backward and nonsensical. Driving in one’s own private car is far more elitist than sharing a bus with one’s coworkers. It is also vastly worse for the environment. The buses take cars off the road. Fewer cars mean less traffic, and less idling in traffic, which is especially polluting.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Now Solnit is back with another broadside that takes aim at Adler and Grist, questions the environmental claims made for the buses and broadens her critique of the tech sector’s impact on the city. Her new essay, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.guernicamag.com/daily/rebecca-solnit-resisting-monoculture/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resisting Monoculture\u003c/a>,” was published Tuesday by online culture journal Guernica. She says in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I’m seeing the town that gave birth to the Sierra Club and Rainforest Action Network and seminal movements for human rights, a town that produced great insurrection and antiwar activism and idealism and new social ideas, become a place where you can’t afford to live unless you’re doing something incredibly lucrative and time-consuming — and probably involving technology corporations. A young human rights activist is not so likely to be able to afford to live here, or a nurse’s aide, or a baker, and so the biodiversity of the city is being laid waste, and in its place springs up a monocrop of technology workers. If this continues, the contributions San Francisco has given the world will not be given any more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People who like green transit need to consider that when a place becomes the economic equivalent of a luxury resort, the urban equivalent of Jackson Hole, the laborers who really keep the place running — the people who clean and cook and drive and build and care for the old, the young, the frail — need to come in from far away. And no luxury coaches come to fetch the home healthcare worker from Richmond or the construction worker from Tracy. It’s unhealthy when firefighters and teachers can’t afford to live in the community they care for, and San Francisco was already tough that way: it’s now, thanks to the Silicon Valley incursion, getting a lot worse.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Her new essay, “\u003ca href=\"http://www.guernicamag.com/daily/rebecca-solnit-resisting-monoculture/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resisting Monoculture\u003c/a>,” was published Tuesday by online culture journal Guernica. She says in part:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I’m seeing the town that gave birth to the Sierra Club and Rainforest Action Network and seminal movements for human rights, a town that produced great insurrection and antiwar activism and idealism and new social ideas, become a place where you can’t afford to live unless you’re doing something incredibly lucrative and time-consuming — and probably involving technology corporations. A young human rights activist is not so likely to be able to afford to live here, or a nurse’s aide, or a baker, and so the biodiversity of the city is being laid waste, and in its place springs up a monocrop of technology workers. If this continues, the contributions San Francisco has given the world will not be given any more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People who like green transit need to consider that when a place becomes the economic equivalent of a luxury resort, the urban equivalent of Jackson Hole, the laborers who really keep the place running — the people who clean and cook and drive and build and care for the old, the young, the frail — need to come in from far away. And no luxury coaches come to fetch the home healthcare worker from Richmond or the construction worker from Tracy. It’s unhealthy when firefighters and teachers can’t afford to live in the community they care for, and San Francisco was already tough that way: it’s now, thanks to the Silicon Valley incursion, getting a lot worse.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As part of the agreement, the companies and charter operators have agreed to not block Muni buses at the stops, to stay away from stops for which they don't have permits and to stay off the city's narrower, steeper streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ed Reiskin, the director of the transportation agency, said companies will pay a dollar for every stop they make at the 200 stops — a total of about $1.5 million over the life of the 18-month pilot. Google, Genentech, Apple, Facebook and other companies are participating in the experiment along with UC San Francisco, other college campuses and some office buildings that run shuttles in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city estimates that employee shuttles account for 35,000 passenger boardings every weekday and play a key role in reducing congestion and vehicle emissions. But the shuttles — typically massive white motor coaches with dark-tinted windows, are controversial for using Muni stops without any compensation of the city's expense to provide the stops. They've also become symbols in the city's current affordable-housing crisis, as the buses are used mostly by younger technology sector workers perceived as affluent, aloof from the life of the city and responsible for displacing longer-term residents by driving up rents and home prices.
