埃航客機失事無人生還 機上8名中國乘客遇難大綱

3月10日，埃塞俄比亞航空公司一架客機在起飛後不久墜毀，所有乘客和機組人員都在墜機事件中喪生，遇難者來自30多個國家，其中有8名中國乘客。

這是波音737MAX在不到5個月內的第二起事故。目前國內航司已暫停運行該機型。

An Ethiopian Airlines jet has crashed shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all on board.

當地時間10日，埃塞俄比亞航空公司一架飛機從亞的斯亞貝巴起飛不久後墜毀，機上無人生還。

The airline said 149 passengers and eight crew members were on flight ET302 from the Ethiopian capital to Nairobi in Kenya.

這架ET302航班上共有149名乘客和8名機組成員，原計劃從埃塞俄比亞首都亞的斯亞貝巴飛往肯尼亞首都內羅畢。

The crash happened at 08:44 local time, six minutes after the months-old Boeing 737 Max-8 took off.

墜機事故發生在當地時間上午8點44分，飛機起飛後僅6分鐘便墜毀。這架波音737 Max-8機型的飛機交付使用只有幾個月時間。

Another plane of the same model was involved in a crash less than five months ago, when a Lion Air flight crashed into the sea near Indonesia with nearly 190 people on board.

不到五個月前，同型號機型發生過另一起墜機事故。當時印尼獅航一架波音737 Max-8墜毀在印尼附近海域，機上有近190人。

埃航CEO在事故現場。 墜機時發生了什麼？

The cause of the disaster is not yet clear. However, the pilot had reported difficulties and had asked to return to Addis Ababa, the airline said.

事故原因尚不清楚。但埃航表示，飛行員起飛後曾報告遇到困難，要求返航。

"At this stage, we cannot rule out anything," Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam told reporters at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa.

埃航首席執行官特沃多·格布勒瑪里亞姆在亞的斯亞貝巴博萊機場告訴記者說：“在目前階段，我們無法排除任何可能。”

"We cannot also attribute the cause to anything because we will have to comply with the international regulation to wait for the investigation."

“我們也不能追究任何原因，因爲我們將遵守國際規範，靜待調查結果。”

Visibility was said to be good but air traffic monitor Flightradar24 reported that the plane's "vertical speed was unstable after take-off".

據說事發時機場能見度良好，但據航空監測應用Flightradar24表示，“飛機起飛後垂直速度不穩”。

An eyewitness at the scene told the BBC there was an intense fire as the aircraft hit the ground.

一位目擊者告訴英國廣播公司說，墜機事故發生後，地上燃起大火。

"The blast and the fire were so strong that we couldn't get near it," he said. "Everything is burnt down."

他說：“爆炸和火勢非常猛烈，我們無法靠近，一切都燒燬了。”

The plane was delivered to Ethiopian Airlines on November 15 last year. It underwent a "rigorous first check maintenance" on February 4, the airline tweeted.

這架飛機於去年11月15日交付使用。埃航在推特中說，飛機在2月4日進行了“嚴格的首次維護”。

央視記者在現場看到，地面形成一個直徑約50米、深度約10米的巨坑，巨坑裏面滿是飛機的殘骸碎片，由於撞擊強度巨大，飛機殘骸散落遍及周邊一萬平方米區域。

遇難者來自30多個國家

Mr Gebremariam told the news conference that passengers from more than 30 countries were on board the flight.

格布勒瑪里亞姆在記者會上說，機上乘客來自30多個國家。

He said they included 32 Kenyans, 18 Canadians, nine Ethiopians, eight Italians, eight Chinese, eight Americans, seven Britons, seven French citizens, six Egyptians, five Germans, four Indians and four people from Slovakia.

乘客中有32名肯尼亞人，18名加拿大人，9名埃塞俄比亞人，8名意大利人，8名中國人，8名美國人，7名英國人，7名法國人，6名埃及人，5名德國人，4名印度人，和4名斯洛伐克人。

One person held a UN passport, the airline said. It believed some passengers could have been heading to a session of the UN Environment Assembly which begins in Nairobi on Monday.

埃航表示，其中一名乘客持有聯合國護照。據稱一些乘客是搭乘飛機參加本週一在內羅畢召開的聯合國環境署會議。

A UN source also told Agence France-Presse that "at least a dozen of the victims were affiliated with the UN", and that this may include freelance translators.

聯合國一名消息人士告訴法新社說，“至少有12名遇難者爲聯合國工作”，其中可能包括自由譯員。

World Food Programme executive director David Beasley said seven members of agency staff had died in the crash.

世界糧食計劃署執行理事大衛·比斯利說，有7名職員在事故中遇難。

各國領導人及民衆哀悼遇難者

Ethiopia has declared Monday a national day of mourning.

埃塞俄比亞宣佈本週一爲全國哀悼日。

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau said he was "deeply saddened" to hear of the crash, adding: "We join the international community in mourning the loss of so many lives."

加拿大總理賈斯廷·特魯多說，他聽到墜機的消息後“非常悲痛”，“我們和世界各國的人們共同哀悼如此多鮮活生命的離去。”

UK PM Theresa May tweeted her condolences:

英國首相特蕾莎梅在推特上表達了她的哀悼：

perish ['perɪʃ]：vi.死亡；毀滅

國內網友也紛紛在微博上表達哀思。

國內航司暫停運行波音737MAX

3月11日上午，有業內人士向財經網透露，目前國內航司已經接到民航總局的通知，要求737MAX暫停運行，今日737MAX執飛的北京出港航班已經全部調整爲737-800執行。

波音737MAX：史上銷售速度最快 5個月內兩度失事

這是自去年10月底印尼獅航空難後，波音737MAX在不到5個月內的第二起事故。

The 737 Max-8 aircraft is relatively new to the skies, having only been in commercial use since 2017.

737 Max-8型號的飛機問世時間並不久，2017年開始才投入商業使用。

波音官網顯示，737 MAX是其歷史上銷售最快的機型，迄今已獲得來自全球100家客戶的超過4700架承諾訂單。

目前中國13家航空公司共運營60餘架737 MAX客機。2017年，波音向國航交付了首架737 MAX客機。

Boeing said it was "deeply saddened" by the crash and offered to send a team to provide technical assistance.

波音公司表示，對墜機“非常悲痛”，會派出團隊提供技術支持。

據界面新聞3月10日報道，印尼獅航墜機的調查傾向於認爲，飛行數據傳感器存在問題，可能會反饋錯誤數據。彭博社稱，在某些情況下，比如飛行員手動飛行時，若傳感器發現可能出現空氣動力學失速的問題，737 MAX飛機會自動將機頭向下推。

The anti-stalling system repeatedly forced the plane's nose down, despite efforts by pilots to correct this, findings suggest.

調查表明，儘管飛行員努力糾正，但飛機的防失速控制系統屢次迫使飛機機頭向下。

針對印尼獅航墜機事故，美國聯邦航空管理局曾在去年底發佈緊急適航指令。

美國有線新聞網援引專家的話說，此次埃塞俄比亞航空墜機和去年獅航墜機情況有所不同，獅航遭遇了空速劇烈波動，埃塞俄比亞航空則沒有遭遇空速波動，而所有傳導突然停止表明空中發生了災難性的故障。

目前，事故原因和飛行數據都在進一步調查中。
