Emergency calls released by the California Highway Patrol record passengers urgently calling for more ambulances after the crash of Asiana Flight 214 in San Francisco.
In the telephone call recording, a survivor of the San Francisco plane crash can be heard telling an emergency services dispatcher: "Hi, we are at the San Francisco International Airport and we just got in a plane crash and there are a lot of people that need help."
"There's been a crash at San Francisco airport," another caller reported. "There are people injured on the tarmac, seriously injured. There are no ambulances."
A survivor is heard urging the emergency services to hurry as passengers were trying to keep alive a woman who had suffered severe burns.
The emergency services dispatcher assures the caller that help is on the way.
The Asiana flight came to a tragic end when the plane, which came in too low and too slow, crash-landed on Saturday, killing two passengers and injuring many others as it skidded and spun 100 feet (30 metres).
A dozen survivors were hospitalized, including six flight attendants, three of whom were thrown from the airliner during the accident.
The flight originated in Shanghai and stopped over in Seoul before making the nearly 11-hour trip to San Francisco.
Fire officials are continuing their investigation into whether one of their trucks might have run over one of the two summer camp bound Chinese teenagers, Wang Linjia and Ye Mengyuan, killed in the crash.
