Passengers and crew of the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight most likely died from suffocation as the plane coasted into the ocean on autopilot, Australian officials have said. 澳大利亚官员称，马航失踪航班MH370上的乘客和机组人员很有可能在飞机坠落前就已死于窒息，而飞机随后在自动驾驶模式下坠入印度洋。 In a new 55-page report, the Australian Transport Safety Board said investigators arrived at the conclusion after comparing conditions on the flight with previous disasters. 在这份长达55页的报告中，澳大利亚运输安全局表示，调查人员将MH370的状况与此前失事的飞机相比较，虽然在飞机本身方面没有新发现，但得出了上述结论。 The report narrowed down the possible final resting place from thousands of possible routes, while noting the absence of communications, the steady flight path and a number of other key abnormalities in the course of the ill-fated flight. 该报告从上千条预估路线中锁定了MH370可能坠落的位置。另外，该报告还列出了航班失联、航线确定等一系列失常状况。 'Given these observations, the final stages of the unresponsive crew/hypoxia event type appeared to best fit the available evidence for the final period of MH370's flight when it was heading in a generally southerly direction,' the ATSB report said. 澳大利亚运输安全局的报告这样写道：“据观测，现有证据与失联机组人员最后阶段处于缺氧状态的猜测十分吻合，当时飞机正向南航行。” |
