An apology by the boss of South Korean airline Asiana to the parents of the two Chinese students killed in the San Francisco plane crash got a hostile response.

Yoon Young-doo met them at Incheon airport as they travelled from Shanghai to the U.S.

He offered an apology again at a later news conference.
