The Asiana pilot has reportedly claimed that 'blinding light flash' led to him losing control of the plane and crash land at the runway leaving two dead and several others injured.
According to Washington Times, federal officials are investigating whether the bright light seen by the pilot Lee Kang Kuk could have been a laser pointed at the cockpit.
Moving too low to the ground and too slowly, the Boeing 777 crash landed, killing two young women and injuring many others.
Deborah Hersman, who chairs the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), said that the use of lasers had not been ruled out.
The senior pilot in the cockpit realized about 34 seconds prior to impact that the plane was flying at 500ft and at about 134 knots.
The NTSB is focusing on Kang Kuk who rarely flew a Boeing 777, and Lee Jeong-Min, who was training him at the time of the crash, the report added.
