高空玻璃破碎! 川航完成“史詩級”備降 網友怒贊

The pilots of a Chinese passenger jet made an emergency landing after a cockpit windscreen was ripped out in mid-air.

中國一架民航客機駕駛艙擋風玻璃高空破裂，兩位駕駛員成功實施緊急迫降。

Two crew members on the Sichuan Airlines flight were injured when the plane’s window blew out as it cruised at 32,000ft with 119 passengers on board.

飛機飛至3.2萬英尺（約合9754米）的高空時，駕駛艙擋風玻璃突然破裂，導致兩名機組人員受傷。機上共有119名乘客。

"There was no warning sign. Suddenly, the windshield just cracked and made a loud bang. The next thing I know, my co-pilot had been sucked halfway out of the window," Liu Chuanjian told Chengdu Economic Daily after making an emergency landing.

“沒有任何徵兆，轟的一聲，擋風玻璃突然爆裂，”該趟航班機長劉傳建在備降後接受《成都商報》記者採訪時稱，“緊接着我發現，副駕（身體）已經飛出去一半，半邊身體在窗外懸掛。”

The jet’s flight control unit was badly damaged by the resulting sudden decompression. Some parts of the system were reportedly sucked out of the gaping window, forcing the pilots to fly manually before landing the airliner safely at the south-west Chinese city of Chengdu.

由於突然失壓，飛機的飛行控制器遭到嚴重毀壞。據報道，部分飛行控制零件被吸出窗外，駕駛員不得不手動操縱，最終安全地把飛機降落在成都機場。

Pictures published on Chinese social media showed the plane missing one of its cockpit windows and damage to its cockpit controls.

國內社交媒體上發佈的照片顯示，飛機駕駛艙前的一塊擋風玻璃破碎，控制檯七零八落。

One pilot, thought to have been the flight’s first officer, suffered scratches and a sprained waist during Monday morning’s drama.

在週一早晨發生的這次生死備降中，一名副駕駛員皮膚擦傷，腰部扭傷。

A cabin crew member was also injured in the descent, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).

中國民航總局稱，還有一位乘務員在這起事件中受傷。

The flight, Sichuan Airlines 3U8633, had left the central Chinese city of Chongqing for the Tibetan capital, Lhasa. There were 128 people, nine of whom were crew, on board.

川航這架由重慶飛往拉薩的3U8633航班共搭乘有128人，其中包括9名機組人員。

據乘客拍攝的視頻顯示，機艙內氧氣面罩已經脫落，由於顛簸，地面上散落雜物。

According to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, the aircraft was an Airbus A319.

根據航跡網站FlightRadar24介紹，這是一架空客A319客機。

An Airbus spokeswoman said the company would provide any support requested by the CAAC and Sichuan Airlines.

空客一位發言人說，公司將按照中國民航總局和川航的要求，提供一切支持。

The carrier said on its official Weibo account the flight had experienced a “mechanical failure”, but gave no further details. It said it had switched passengers to another aircraft to continue their journey to Lhasa.

川航在其官方微博中說，飛機遇到“機械故障”，但沒有給出細節，並表示已換機執行成都至拉薩航班。

Sichuan Airlines, a regional airline headquartered in Chengdu, operates mostly domestic flights but also flies internationally to countries including Japan, Canada and the Czech Republic.

川航是一家區域性航空公司，總部位於成都，主要執飛國內航班，但也開通了飛往日本、加拿大和捷克共和國的國際航線。

Mid-air incidents involving cracked windshields happen fairly regularly, often due to bird or lightning strikes, but it is rare for an entire window to come off.

擋風玻璃破裂引發的空中事故時有發生，經常是由於飛鳥撞擊或者遭遇雷擊，但整塊玻璃破裂脫落實屬罕見。

In 1990, a British Airways pilot was sucked partially out of the cabin window after his plane’s windscreen blew out at 23,000 feet. He survived the incident, which occurred on a BAC-111 jet.

1990年，英航一架BAC-111飛機的擋風玻璃在2.3萬英尺（約合7010米）高空破裂，一名飛行員半身被吸出窗外。好在他倖免於難。

In April an engine on a Southwest Airlines flight blew up and shattered a cabin window, killing a passenger who was dragged partly through the opening.

今年4月，美國西南航空公司的一架飛機發動機在空中爆炸，震碎了一塊舷窗玻璃，一名乘客半身被吸出窗外，不幸身亡。

On May 3, another Southwest flight made an emergency landing after a cabin window pane cracked in flight.

今年5月3日，另一架美國西南航空公司的航班飛行途中舷窗玻璃破裂，後實施緊急備降。

小知識：備降VS迫降

生活中很多人分不清楚迫降與備降的區別，特別整理了關於備降與迫降的知識供大家參考。

備降（diversion）

飛機（航空器）在飛行過程中不能或不宜飛往飛行計劃中的目的地機場或目的地機場不適合着陸，而降落在其他機場的行爲稱爲備降。

迫降( forced landing )

迫降與備降的概念完全不同，迫降是飛機因特殊情況不能繼續飛行時的被迫降落，通常是在飛機燃料用盡、機上起火、出現了重大故障等情況下進行。它是一種緊急情況。
