The first images from inside the stricken Asiana Airlines Flight 214 that crashed at San Francisco's airport on Saturday were released today by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board - as it emerged the pilot was on his maiden training flight and had only 43 hours experience at the controls of a Boeing 777. The chilling photographs of seats slammed out of their rivets and oxygen masks dangling from the overhead compartments give some indication of the terror that the 307 passengers and crew experienced as the plane's botched landing killed two and injured 181 people.
