Emergency services reported all occupants have been accounted for and are alive. Emergency services repeated ALL occupants have been accounted for in response to media reports that two people have been killed and said, these reports are untrue.

NTSB cites autothrottle system, crew failures in Asiana 214 crash
Washington DC
Source: 2 hours ago
Over-reliance on automated systems and the complexity of flight systems contributed to the crash of Asiana flight 214 on 6 July 2013, says the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
“In this instance, the flight crew over-relied on automated systems [that] they did not fully understand,” Christopher Hart, the NTSB’s vice chairman, says on 24 June.
Hart made his comments during an opening statement at the NTSB’s hearing into the crash of flight 214 from Seoul.
He added that although automation has made aviation safer,
the complexity of aircraft systems have created opportunities for new problems that designers never anticipated.
Investigators also noted that the pilots had inadequate understanding of the aircraft's systems and did not effecitvely monitor the aircraft's airspeed.
Flightglobal will release more of the NTSB’s findings as they become available today.
