疲勞駕駛太可怕：飛行員把金星當飛機

Fatigue led a pilot to send a passenger plane into a dive over the North Atlantic, injuring 16 people last year, BBC reported。

The drama began when the co-pilot of the Air Canada flight from Toronto to Zurich woke up and wrongly believed the plane was on a collision course. He mistook the planet Venus for another plane。

Passengers without their seat belts on were thrown from their seats。

The report said that during the January 2011 flight the pilot had a 75-minute nap, failing to follow procedure for controlled sleeps of 40 minutes each。

據英國廣播公司報道，2011年1月，一名飛行員因疲勞駕駛，導致客機向北大西洋俯衝而下，16名乘客受傷。

事件發生在加拿大航空公司一趟由多倫多飛往蘇黎世的航班的飛行途中。當時，副駕駛剛剛睡醒，誤將金星當成另一架飛機，認爲客機已進入碰撞軌跡。

後來，機上未系安全帶的乘客被甩出座位。

報告稱，副駕駛在機上睡了75分鐘，超過了規定的每次40分鐘可控睡眠時限。
