In all seriousness I wouldn't be surprised. Considering they had a United 747 parked right next to the accident scene, bits of the arse end of a 777-200(?) all over the threshold and panicked people running everywhere rather than being gathered and escorted from the wreck by flight crews before the crash trucks arrive..
Heck half of the people that died at Tenerife in 1977 died because emergency personnel had no idea what was going on or any real grasp on the situation and there was no assistance from either flight crews because they were kinda dead. However on the other side of the coin you have United 232 (Souix City, IA) where the triage centers and emergency help actually were the reason many were saved (and a recent drill that week prior to the crash - it's argued there shouldn't have been survivors if not for the training exercises.)
Plane crashes are never cut and dry but in the end with 2 deaths out of 200+ people on board that aircraft WITH a fire that consumed the fuselage from the inside out (the WORST kind of fire in aviation) this is a bittersweet but good day nonetheless for Asiana, SFO, and Boeing.
