Update for Asiana Airlines Crash

The teenagers were identified as Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia.

China Central Television revealed that the two victims were students at Jiangshan Middle School in China's eastern Zhejiang province.

It cited a fax from Asiana Airlines, which operated the plane that crashed on Saturday, to the Jiangshan city government.

Of the 291 passengers on board, 141 were Chinese. At least 70 Chinese students and teachers were on the plane heading to summer camps, according to education authorities in China.

Passengers said it was a miracle so many survived the crash of an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777, which burst into flames as it landed short of the runway at the US airport, killing two and injuring 182 others.
