The Asiana Airlines jet that crashed while landing at San Francisco International Airport, killing two Chinese teenagers and injuring 182 others, was descending at a dangerously slow speed and pilots apparently ran out of time to correct their approach, investigators said Sunday. 韩亚航空(Asiana Airlines)客机在美国旧金山国际机场(San Francisco International Airport)降落过程中失事，造成两名中国青少年死亡，182人受伤。调查人员周日说，该飞机以非常危险的低速降落，而且表面看来飞行员已没有时间进行纠正。 While stopping short of pinpointing pilot error as the likely cause of the fiery crash Saturday, National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman's comments indicated investigators were focused primarily on why the cockpit crew allowed speed to decay to such an extent─and failed to take decisive action until the Boeing 777 was less than two seconds from impact. 美国全国运输安全委员会(National Transportation Safety Board)主席赫斯曼(Deborah Hersman)的评论表明，虽然还没有确定飞行员操作失误是造成周六严重坠机事故的可能原因，但调查人员基本上把重点放在了两方面，一是驾驶舱机组人员为何会允许这架波音777飞机的速度慢到这样一个程度，二是他们直到该飞机还有不到两秒钟着陆之前一直未采取果断措施。 The overnight flight from Seoul, with 307 people on board, including 16 crew members, hit a rocky sea wall, which sheared off its tail and landing gear, then slammed onto the runway, skidded, spun off the tarmac and erupted into flames. |
