San Francisco crash survivors return to China

Thirty-one survivors of a fatal plane crash that occurred in San Francisco on July 6 returned to China on Saturday.

The returnees are students and teachers from Jiangshan Middle School in east China's Zhejiang Province who traveled with a 34-member group to the U.S. to attend a summer camp.

Two female students who traveled with the group died in the crash. Another girl who was previously in critical condition died on Saturday local time as a result of severe injuries she received during the accident, according to a statement from the San Francisco General Hospital.

The survivors arrived in Beijing at 6 p.m. Saturday. They will stay in the city for one night before traveling to Zhejiang's capital city of Hangzhou on Sunday. They will take a bus to the city of Jiangshan after arriving in Hangzhou.

A total of 141 Chinese were among the 291 passengers aboard when Asiana Airlines Flight 214 bound for San Francisco from Seoul made a crash landing at the San Francisco International Airport a week ago.
