韓亞客機起落架撞上防波堤

U.S. government investigators say the landing gear of the Asiana Airlines jet that crashed Saturday at San Francisco airport hit a seawall at the end of the runway, sending the fuselage skidding down the airfield.

The chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, Deborah Hersman, told a news conference in San Francisco Tuesday that seconds before the crash, the pilots on board tried to correct the plane's speed and elevation.

Two Chinese schoolgirls were killed and about 180 of the more than 300 people on board were injured when the Boeing 777 crashed-landed.

Information from the plane's flight data recorder shows the plane was traveling far too slowly as it came in for a landing. Hersman declined to speculate on the cause of the crash, but much of the information released by the NTSB suggests pilot error as a main focus of the investigation.美國政府調查人員說，星期六在舊金山機場失事的韓亞航空公司客機的起落架在觸到跑道之前撞到防波堤，致使機身滑向跑道一側的場地。

美國國家交通安全委員會主席德博拉·赫斯曼星期二在舊金山的一次記者會上說，就在失事之前幾秒鐘，機上駕駛員試圖糾正飛機航速和高度。

韓亞航空這架波音777客機降落時失事，造成兩名中國女學生喪生，大約180人受傷。當時機上有300多人。

飛機上的飛行數據記錄器的資料顯示，飛機降落之前的速度太慢。赫斯曼拒絕對失事原因做出推測，不過，從美國國家交通安全委員會公佈的大多數信息看出，駕駛員的失誤是調查的重點。
