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.

(NTSB)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The National Transportation Safety Board is holding a daylong hearing into last July's Asiana Airlines crash at San Francisco International Airport. Here's the link to live video streaming page for the hearing: \u003ca href=\"http://ntsb.capitolconnection.org/#\" target=\"_blank\">Investigative Hearing: Crash of Asiana Flight 214\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day began with a brief review of the SFO incident on July 6, 2013, and the rest of the day has been devoted mostly to a painstaking examination of the design and performance of the autopilot technology used on Boeing 777s like the one involved in the crash. Those systems are of concern because Flight 214's speed had fallen far below the speed the crew reportedly believed it had set for the approach — to 103 knots from the commanded 137 knots. The crew didn't detect the loss of speed until the crash was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"8c745e1abf83a0e66885ecae4dac3e07\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among a large number of documents released in connection with today's hearing is \u003ca href=\"http://dms.ntsb.gov/public%2F55000-55499%2F55433%2F543238.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a 139-page summary\u003c/a> of crew interviews following the crash. The pilot at the controls of the flight, Captain Lee Kang Kuk, told investigators he was \"very concerned\" about having to land the airliner using a visual approach to the airport. The visual approach was necessary because an airport glide-slope indicator, a system that helps pilots monitor their descent to the runway, was not operating because of construction work at SFO. Lee, a 19-year veteran with Asiana, was training to fly the 777 and making his first landing attempt at SFO at the controls of one of the Boeing jumbo jets. He's quoted as telling investigators he found everything about landing at the airport difficult, \"even landing and taxiing to the gate was stressful, because it was very busy and the controllers were very busy and spoke quickly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to his concern for the approach, the interview summary says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[Lee] was asked whether he found the accident approach easy or difficult or in the middle. He said it was very stressful, very difficult to perform a visual approach with a heavy airplane, always. From the planning phase it was very stressful because the glideslope was very, very helpful to making an approach. He knew the NOTAMs [\u003ca href=\"http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/notices/\" target=\"_blank\">Notices to Airmen\u003c/a>] said it was out of service, but everyone else had been doing the visual approach, so he could not say he could not do the visual approach. That had been “a very stressful factor”. Asked whether he was concerned about his ability to perform the visual approach, he said “very concerned, yea”. Asked what aspect he was most concerned about, he said, “the unstable approach”. He added, “exactly controlling the descent profile and the lateral profile, that is very stressful.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Asiana's chief 777 pilot, Lee Sung-kil, was asked at today's NTSB hearing if he could explain why Lee Kang Kuk would have felt stressed at the prospect of a visual landing at SFO without the glideslope system. Through a translator, the chief pilot said he was at a loss to explain those statements and emphasized Lee Kang Kuk's nearly 10,000 hours of flying experience with Asiana. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his post-crash interview with the safety board investigators, Lee Kang Kuk suggested he was reluctant to initiate an emergency \"go around\" in deference to the instructor pilot monitoring his handling of the flight, Capt. Lee Jungmin. The instructor pilot, also referred to as the \"pilot monitoring,\" or PM, was senior to the trainee pilot. In an exchange that illustrates a possible language barrier between the Korean pilot and the accident investigators, he tried to explain why it was \"a hard thing\" for him to take control of the plane for the \"go around\" even as the crash was near:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Normally only in our Korean culture, the one step higher level, the final decision people, he did, he decide the going-around thing. It’s very important thing. As a first officer or the low level people, they dare to think about the go around thing. It’s very hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q. (Investigator): \u003c/strong>In your mind, then, and I don’t want to put words in your mouth, you tell me, did you feel that as the pilot in the left seat flying the airplane that you had the authority to do, commence a go around yourself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A. (Lee Kang Kuk):\u003c/strong> Go around thing. That is very important thing. But the instructor pilot got the authority. Even I am on the left seat [in the command pilot's position], that is very hard to explain, that is our culture. ...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lee Kang Kuk told investigators he was briefly blinded by an unidentified bright light in front of the plane as it neared the runway. That prompted investigators to ask in a follow-up interview whether he wore sunglasses in the cockpit. Lee told the investigators no, \"because it would have been considered impolite for him to wear them when he was flying with his PM. He said it was very important in their culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flight 214 was Lee Kang Kuk's fifth training trip aboard a 777, but he told investigators he was not sure he was prepared to fly the jet:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Asked how confident he felt about his knowledge of the B777 autoflight system just prior to the accident, he said he was not so confident because he felt he should study more. Asked whether he had been studying and did not feel confident or he had not had enough time to study sufficiently, he said he did not know if he had studied a proper amount, he had just followed the company program. Asked if he felt he was still learning how the system worked, he said every pilot should study every day.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press story on the pilot interviews and what they reveal about the events leading to the Asiana Flight 214 crash:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Martha Mendoza and Stephen Braun\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Associated Press\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WASHINGTON — The pilot whose Boeing 777 crashed last summer at the San Francisco airport told investigators he was \"very concerned\" about attempting a visual approach without the runway's instrument landing aids, which were out of service because of construction, according to an investigative report released Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Kang Kuk, a 46-year-old pilot who was landing the big jet for his first time at San Francisco, \"stated it was very difficult to perform a visual approach with a heavy airplane.\" The jet came in too low and slow and crash-landed, killing three people and injuring more than 200, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A visual approach involves lining the jet up for landing by looking through the windshield and using numerous other cues, rather than relying on a radio-based system that guides aircraft to the runway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigative report was released at the start of a daylong NTSB hearing that was called to answer lingering questions about the crash, not to conclude exactly what went wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Lee was an experienced pilot with the Korea-based airline, he was a trainee captain in the 777, with less than 45 hours in the jet. He had not piloted an airliner into San Francisco since 2004, according to NTSB investigator Bill English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the investigation has not found any mechanical problems with the 777 prior to impact, although testing is ongoing, English said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told investigators that he realized others had been safely landing at San Francisco without the glide-slope indicator, an array of antennas that transmits a signal into the cockpit to help with the descent. That system was out of service while the runway was expanded. It has since been restored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview, the trainee said that while privately he was \"very concerned\" about his ability to do a visual approach, \"everyone else had been doing (it), so he could not say he could not do the visual approach.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were other indications that a culture of not acknowledging weakness — and of deferring to a higher-ranking colleague — contributed to the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told NTSB investigators that he did not immediately move to abort the landing and perform a \"go around\" as the plane descended because he felt that only the instructor pilot had the authority to initiate that emergency move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A reluctance of junior officers to speak up had been an issue in past accidents, though industry training has tried to emphasize that safety should come first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee also conceded that he was worried about his unfamiliarity with the 777's autoflight systems. He admitted he had not studied the systems well enough and thought that the plane's autothrottle was supposed to prevent the jet from flying below minimum speed as it drew near the runway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But two other Asiana pilots who took an instruction class with Lee said that they were told that the throttle hold did not automatically re-engage under certain autopilot modes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This pilot should never have taken off,\" said attorney Ilyas Akbari, whose firm represents 14 of the passengers. \"The fact that the pilot was stressed and nervous is a testament to the inadequate training he received, and those responsible for his training and for certifying his competency bear some of the culpability for the tragedy of this crash.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told investigators that as he realized his approach was off, he was worried he might \"fail his flight and would be embarrassed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Asiana pilot who recently flew with Lee told investigators that he was not sure if the trainee captain was making normal progress and that he did not perform well during a trip two days before the accident. That captain described Lee as \"not well organized or prepared,\" according to the investigative report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asiana's chief pilot told investigators that the airline recommended pilots use as much automation \"as possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that the airline told its pilots to turn off the 777's autopilots below 1,000 feet when making visual approaches to airports. But a former Asiana pilot told the board that Asiana pilots were rarely allowed to practice visual approaches on landing and that many trainee pilots \"did not feel confident and did not want to make any mistakes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency did not say whether Asiana's reliance on automatic landings was greater than the industry norm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recordings from the cockpit show Lee took the controls as the autopilot disconnected when the plane was about 1,500 feet above San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee insisted in interviews that he had been blinded during a critical instant before the botched landing by a piercing light from outside the aircraft. NTSB investigators repeatedly probed him about the light, but he was unable to pinpoint its origin or how it precisely affected him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The instructor pilot said he never saw a bright light outside the aircraft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a transcript of the Asiana plane's cockpit voice recorder, the crew did not comment on the jet's low approach until it reached 200 feet above the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's low,\" an unnamed crewman said at 11:27 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an instant, the plane began to shake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 20 feet, another crewman broke in: \"Go around,\" he said. But It was too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NTSB investigators also raised concerns about a safety certification issue involving the design of Boeing 777's controls, warning that the plane's protection against stalling does not always automatically engage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the plane's autothrottle is placed in a \"hold\" mode, as it was during the Asiana flight, it is supposed to re-engage or \"wake up\" when the plane slows to its minimum airspeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a pilot who oversaw the Boeing 787 flight tests for the Federal Aviation Administration told the NTSB that both the 787 and the 777 have the same anti-stall protection systems — and that the wake-up system did not always work when tested at minimum speeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boeing's retired 777 chief pilot, John Cashman, underscored that auto controls are not designed to replace pilots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The pilot is the final authority for the operation of the airplane,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

(NTSB)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The National Transportation Safety Board is holding a daylong hearing into last July's Asiana Airlines crash at San Francisco International Airport. Here's the link to live video streaming page for the hearing: \u003ca href=\"http://ntsb.capitolconnection.org/#\" target=\"_blank\">Investigative Hearing: Crash of Asiana Flight 214\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day began with a brief review of the SFO incident on July 6, 2013, and the rest of the day has been devoted mostly to a painstaking examination of the design and performance of the autopilot technology used on Boeing 777s like the one involved in the crash. Those systems are of concern because Flight 214's speed had fallen far below the speed the crew reportedly believed it had set for the approach — to 103 knots from the commanded 137 knots. The crew didn't detect the loss of speed until the crash was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among a large number of documents released in connection with today's hearing is \u003ca href=\"http://dms.ntsb.gov/public%2F55000-55499%2F55433%2F543238.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">a 139-page summary\u003c/a> of crew interviews following the crash. The pilot at the controls of the flight, Captain Lee Kang Kuk, told investigators he was \"very concerned\" about having to land the airliner using a visual approach to the airport. The visual approach was necessary because an airport glide-slope indicator, a system that helps pilots monitor their descent to the runway, was not operating because of construction work at SFO. Lee, a 19-year veteran with Asiana, was training to fly the 777 and making his first landing attempt at SFO at the controls of one of the Boeing jumbo jets. He's quoted as telling investigators he found everything about landing at the airport difficult, \"even landing and taxiing to the gate was stressful, because it was very busy and the controllers were very busy and spoke quickly.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to his concern for the approach, the interview summary says:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>[Lee] was asked whether he found the accident approach easy or difficult or in the middle. He said it was very stressful, very difficult to perform a visual approach with a heavy airplane, always. From the planning phase it was very stressful because the glideslope was very, very helpful to making an approach. He knew the NOTAMs [\u003ca href=\"http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/notices/\" target=\"_blank\">Notices to Airmen\u003c/a>] said it was out of service, but everyone else had been doing the visual approach, so he could not say he could not do the visual approach. That had been “a very stressful factor”. Asked whether he was concerned about his ability to perform the visual approach, he said “very concerned, yea”. Asked what aspect he was most concerned about, he said, “the unstable approach”. He added, “exactly controlling the descent profile and the lateral profile, that is very stressful.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Asiana's chief 777 pilot, Lee Sung-kil, was asked at today's NTSB hearing if he could explain why Lee Kang Kuk would have felt stressed at the prospect of a visual landing at SFO without the glideslope system. Through a translator, the chief pilot said he was at a loss to explain those statements and emphasized Lee Kang Kuk's nearly 10,000 hours of flying experience with Asiana. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lee Jungmin. The instructor pilot, also referred to as the \"pilot monitoring,\" or PM, was senior to the trainee pilot. In an exchange that illustrates a possible language barrier between the Korean pilot and the accident investigators, he tried to explain why it was \"a hard thing\" for him to take control of the plane for the \"go around\" even as the crash was near:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>... Normally only in our Korean culture, the one step higher level, the final decision people, he did, he decide the going-around thing. It’s very important thing. As a first officer or the low level people, they dare to think about the go around thing. It’s very hard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Q. (Investigator): \u003c/strong>In your mind, then, and I don’t want to put words in your mouth, you tell me, did you feel that as the pilot in the left seat flying the airplane that you had the authority to do, commence a go around yourself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A. (Lee Kang Kuk):\u003c/strong> Go around thing. That is very important thing. But the instructor pilot got the authority. Even I am on the left seat [in the command pilot's position], that is very hard to explain, that is our culture. ...\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Lee Kang Kuk told investigators he was briefly blinded by an unidentified bright light in front of the plane as it neared the runway. That prompted investigators to ask in a follow-up interview whether he wore sunglasses in the cockpit. Lee told the investigators no, \"because it would have been considered impolite for him to wear them when he was flying with his PM. He said it was very important in their culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flight 214 was Lee Kang Kuk's fifth training trip aboard a 777, but he told investigators he was not sure he was prepared to fly the jet:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Asked how confident he felt about his knowledge of the B777 autoflight system just prior to the accident, he said he was not so confident because he felt he should study more. Asked whether he had been studying and did not feel confident or he had not had enough time to study sufficiently, he said he did not know if he had studied a proper amount, he had just followed the company program. Asked if he felt he was still learning how the system worked, he said every pilot should study every day.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press story on the pilot interviews and what they reveal about the events leading to the Asiana Flight 214 crash:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>By Martha Mendoza and Stephen Braun\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Associated Press\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>WASHINGTON — The pilot whose Boeing 777 crashed last summer at the San Francisco airport told investigators he was \"very concerned\" about attempting a visual approach without the runway's instrument landing aids, which were out of service because of construction, according to an investigative report released Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee Kang Kuk, a 46-year-old pilot who was landing the big jet for his first time at San Francisco, \"stated it was very difficult to perform a visual approach with a heavy airplane.\" The jet came in too low and slow and crash-landed, killing three people and injuring more than 200, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A visual approach involves lining the jet up for landing by looking through the windshield and using numerous other cues, rather than relying on a radio-based system that guides aircraft to the runway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigative report was released at the start of a daylong NTSB hearing that was called to answer lingering questions about the crash, not to conclude exactly what went wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Lee was an experienced pilot with the Korea-based airline, he was a trainee captain in the 777, with less than 45 hours in the jet. He had not piloted an airliner into San Francisco since 2004, according to NTSB investigator Bill English.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the investigation has not found any mechanical problems with the 777 prior to impact, although testing is ongoing, English said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told investigators that he realized others had been safely landing at San Francisco without the glide-slope indicator, an array of antennas that transmits a signal into the cockpit to help with the descent. That system was out of service while the runway was expanded. It has since been restored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his interview, the trainee said that while privately he was \"very concerned\" about his ability to do a visual approach, \"everyone else had been doing (it), so he could not say he could not do the visual approach.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were other indications that a culture of not acknowledging weakness — and of deferring to a higher-ranking colleague — contributed to the crash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told NTSB investigators that he did not immediately move to abort the landing and perform a \"go around\" as the plane descended because he felt that only the instructor pilot had the authority to initiate that emergency move.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A reluctance of junior officers to speak up had been an issue in past accidents, though industry training has tried to emphasize that safety should come first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee also conceded that he was worried about his unfamiliarity with the 777's autoflight systems. He admitted he had not studied the systems well enough and thought that the plane's autothrottle was supposed to prevent the jet from flying below minimum speed as it drew near the runway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But two other Asiana pilots who took an instruction class with Lee said that they were told that the throttle hold did not automatically re-engage under certain autopilot modes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This pilot should never have taken off,\" said attorney Ilyas Akbari, whose firm represents 14 of the passengers. \"The fact that the pilot was stressed and nervous is a testament to the inadequate training he received, and those responsible for his training and for certifying his competency bear some of the culpability for the tragedy of this crash.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee told investigators that as he realized his approach was off, he was worried he might \"fail his flight and would be embarrassed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another Asiana pilot who recently flew with Lee told investigators that he was not sure if the trainee captain was making normal progress and that he did not perform well during a trip two days before the accident. That captain described Lee as \"not well organized or prepared,\" according to the investigative report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asiana's chief pilot told investigators that the airline recommended pilots use as much automation \"as possible.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that the airline told its pilots to turn off the 777's autopilots below 1,000 feet when making visual approaches to airports. But a former Asiana pilot told the board that Asiana pilots were rarely allowed to practice visual approaches on landing and that many trainee pilots \"did not feel confident and did not want to make any mistakes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency did not say whether Asiana's reliance on automatic landings was greater than the industry norm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recordings from the cockpit show Lee took the controls as the autopilot disconnected when the plane was about 1,500 feet above San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee insisted in interviews that he had been blinded during a critical instant before the botched landing by a piercing light from outside the aircraft. NTSB investigators repeatedly probed him about the light, but he was unable to pinpoint its origin or how it precisely affected him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The instructor pilot said he never saw a bright light outside the aircraft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a transcript of the Asiana plane's cockpit voice recorder, the crew did not comment on the jet's low approach until it reached 200 feet above the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's low,\" an unnamed crewman said at 11:27 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an instant, the plane began to shake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 20 feet, another crewman broke in: \"Go around,\" he said. But It was too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NTSB investigators also raised concerns about a safety certification issue involving the design of Boeing 777's controls, warning that the plane's protection against stalling does not always automatically engage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the plane's autothrottle is placed in a \"hold\" mode, as it was during the Asiana flight, it is supposed to re-engage or \"wake up\" when the plane slows to its minimum airspeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a pilot who oversaw the Boeing 787 flight tests for the Federal Aviation Administration told the NTSB that both the 787 and the 777 have the same anti-stall protection systems — and that the wake-up system did not always work when tested at minimum speeds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boeing's retired 777 chief pilot, John Cashman, underscored that auto controls are not designed to replace pilots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those who want to rent cars from RelayRides pay up to 40 percent less than what traditional rental car companies charge, say company officials, depending on the type of car. (RelayRides offers car rentals at 200 airports across the country.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the company's website, all vehicles are washed before they are returned, and anyone who is approved to rent them undergoes a background check. RelayRides has leased parking spaces at two hotel parking lots near the airport in Millbrae — the Westin San Francisco Airport and the Aloft San Francisco Airport.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RelayRides, a peer-to-peer car-sharing company based on an online platform where owners and renters connect, was founded in 2010. It focuses on long-term car rentals, and offers many types of cars in big and medium-sized cities across the country as well as at major airports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Bay City News, SFO spokesman Doug Yakel said company execs \"showed a 'unique' willingness to comply with state and local rules governing airport ground transportation ... other ride-sharing companies — such as Lyft, UberX and FlightCar — have so far lacked.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What really differentiates RelayRides from other transportation network companies is their willingness to work within the existing business structure at SFO,\" Yakel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has also agreed to pay SFO 10 percent of the profits it earns from business generated at the airport, Yakel told BCN.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CEO Andre Haddad issued a statement this week calling the SFO agreement a blueprint for how his company plans to expand its operations at airports across the country. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/business/2013/10/relayrides-drops-hourly-rentals/\">Wired\u003c/a> noted in a recent story, RelayRides is positioning itself to compete against traditional rental car companies. To that end:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>RelayRides engineers spend much of their time crunching data to determine exactly how to undercut the big competitors while maximizing returns for the owners renting out their own cars. And even if RelayRides only manages to capture a small chunk of the traditional rental market, that could end up being a big piece of a $23 billion industry in the U.S. alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RelayRides is also focusing on making cars available at airports, which has always been prime turf for the traditional rental car companies. Car owners renting out their vehicles through RelayRides can choose to have their vehicles turn up in searches for rentals at various airports. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haddad says RelayRides is still in discussions with SFO to ensure that the company is meeting regulations for airport-dependent businesses. If the experiment goes well, it’s possible to imagine a RelayRides counter right next to baggage claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where the community is pushing us,” Haddad says of RelayRides customers. “It’s not like this is a decision we made sitting alone in conference rooms.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_auto_sidebar id=\"eGNFXr203olHNeWcut8tmwddYkQUbkcT\"]\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those who want to rent cars from RelayRides pay up to 40 percent less than what traditional rental car companies charge, say company officials, depending on the type of car.

It focuses on long-term car rentals, and offers many types of cars in big and medium-sized cities across the country as well as at major airports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Bay City News, SFO spokesman Doug Yakel said company execs \"showed a 'unique' willingness to comply with state and local rules governing airport ground transportation ... other ride-sharing companies — such as Lyft, UberX and FlightCar — have so far lacked.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What really differentiates RelayRides from other transportation network companies is their willingness to work within the existing business structure at SFO,\" Yakel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company has also agreed to pay SFO 10 percent of the profits it earns from business generated at the airport, Yakel told BCN.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CEO Andre Haddad issued a statement this week calling the SFO agreement a blueprint for how his company plans to expand its operations at airports across the country. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/business/2013/10/relayrides-drops-hourly-rentals/\">Wired\u003c/a> noted in a recent story, RelayRides is positioning itself to compete against traditional rental car companies. To that end:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>RelayRides engineers spend much of their time crunching data to determine exactly how to undercut the big competitors while maximizing returns for the owners renting out their own cars. And even if RelayRides only manages to capture a small chunk of the traditional rental market, that could end up being a big piece of a $23 billion industry in the U.S. alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RelayRides is also focusing on making cars available at airports, which has always been prime turf for the traditional rental car companies. Car owners renting out their vehicles through RelayRides can choose to have their vehicles turn up in searches for rentals at various airports. ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haddad says RelayRides is still in discussions with SFO to ensure that the company is meeting regulations for airport-dependent businesses. If the experiment goes well, it’s possible to imagine a RelayRides counter right next to baggage claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where the community is pushing us,” Haddad says of RelayRides customers. “It’s not like this is a decision we made sitting alone in conference rooms.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_auto_sidebar id=\"eGNFXr203olHNeWcut8tmwddYkQUbkcT\"]\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Three weeks after the accident, SFO initiated a self-review process, separate and unrelated to the NTSB investigation, to identify best practices and make recommendations for future response efforts. The debriefing process, facilitated at SFO’s request by the independent consulting firm of ICF SH&E, involved more than 120 individuals from 20 local, state, federal, and airline agencies. The full report of ICF’s analysis has yet to be completed, but SFO shared preliminary findings, as it continues to improve its emergency response preparedness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While our thoughts continue to be with the victims and their families, I am proud of the emergency response to the Asiana crash that saved many lives,” said Airport Director John L. Martin. \"Reflecting the Airport culture of continuous improvement, we engaged the entire SFO community, and mutual aid agencies to examine our response and recovery to ensure we are even better prepared for the future. Safety and security remain our top priority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preliminary recommendations from the report note the successful coordination of multiple parties involved in response and recovery. These included SFO staff, first responders, area hospitals, relief organizations, federal agencies and airlines. The Airport began re-opening runways within hours of the accident, and coordinated a multi-agency effort to remove the aircraft wreckage, clean, pave, paint, and re-certify the damaged runway for use within 42 hours of the NTSB’s conclusion of on-site investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Areas for improvement included the adoption of common Emergency Medical Response Procedures (EMS) between San Francisco and San Mateo counties, an effort already under way, and the integration of additional medevac resources. Customer service initiatives, such as keeping airport restaurants open 24 hours and assisting customers with hotel rates, were also cited as items for inclusion in ongoing emergency procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SFO shared the recommendations and the Airport’s experience at Airports Council International (ACI) Operational Briefing at SFO. More than 144 airport staff from 44 airports around the country attended. “We felt it was our responsibility to share what we had learned with other airports,” Director Martin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three weeks after the accident, SFO commissioned a self-review process, consisting of 3½ days of de-briefing facilitated by the consulting firm ICF. In addition to Airport personnel, other agencies attending the de-briefings included the Red Cross, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and local police and fire departments.
