Tuesday night’s accident echoed the July 2013 Asiana crash atSan Francisco International Airport, when a wide-body Boeing Co.777 hit a seawall before reaching the runway, killing three people.The pilots mismanaged that approach, flying too low and slow andthen failing to abort the touchdown, U.S. investigators said in areport last year.

In Tuesday’s crash, the single-aisle jet was carrying 73passengers, two pilots, five crew members and one engineer when itlanded at about 8:05 p.m. Tokyo time, the Seoul-based airline saidin a statement. The injured passengers were sent to localhospitals.
