@Crazy: Unless you understand the nature of their culture, and the difficulty of interpreting meaning from one language to another, you are in no positition to evaluate the meaning of the Asiana statement. It may well be that they feel far worse about it than you can imagine, but it doesn't come through in the translation. On the other hand, you could be underestimating a lack of regard for human life. I don't know which is correct, but I do know how hard it is to convey meaning between 2 culturally different languages.
