777 Low at SFO

A 777 from Taipei to San Francisco.
600 feet at 3.8 miles.
Aircrew only did something about it when the Tower alerted them.

Unbelievable.

Incident: EVA B773 at San Francisco on Jul 23rd 2013, descended below safe height

Listen to ATC at elapsed time 22:12 on this: http://archive-server.liveatc.net/ks...2013-0330Z.mp3

Low altitude alert issued by ATC at 23:21 elapsed time followed by EVA stating that they were going around.

A visual approach, gone wrong, again...

Why do PMs not speak up sooner? (Rhetorical question)
