## Transcript

Moments after the Asiana Boeing triple seven settles, emergency slides inflate. Passengers escape the burning wreckage while flight attendants scramble inside to clear the jet. Now those flight attendants are being called heroes. Veteran flight attendant Lee Hoon Hye recalls the impact. [ FOREIGN ] It was not the landing we usually do, and it was even more than a hard landing. So we bumped hard, bumped again, leaned to both sides, and stopped. Then, the emergency slide popped from the first door on the right, and it popped inward. That's when I knew that the situation was not normal. With chaos all around, the cabin manager's training kicked in.

Lee struggled to get injured passengers to safety, unaware she had a broken tailbone. My brain was very clear and I planned what I had to do immediately. Actually, I was not thinking, but acting. As soon as I heard emergency escape, I conducted the evacuation. When there was a fire I was just thinking to extinguish it, not thinking that it's too dangerous or what am I going to do. Rescue workers arrived quickly to assist the evacuation. They were impressed with the crews quick action. I interacted with one of the crew managers and she was so composed, I actually thought that she was brought in from the terminal and she actually had evacuated herself off the plane.

So and she was not concerned for her safety, but everyone else's. So I was very impressed with the crew as well.
