以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周三宣布,一架被迫改变飞行路线的阿联酋航空公司(FlyDubai)航班上的副驾驶已被逮捕。据称,该副驾驶刺伤了另一名飞行员,并差点导致飞机坠毁。
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Wednesday a co-pilot aboard a diverted FlyDubai flight has been arrested after he allegedly stabbed the other pilot and nearly caused the plane to crash.
“在飞机接近以色列的过程中,其中一名飞行员刺伤了另一名飞行员,还试图让飞机坠毁,导致机上所有乘客陷入危险,”内塔尼亚胡在周三的讲话中表示。随后,其他机组人员进入驾驶舱并成功稳定了飞机的飞行状态。原定飞往以色列特拉维夫的FZ1073航班因飞行员及其他机组人员受伤而改飞至沙特阿拉伯的塔布克机场。
“During the flight, as they were approaching Israel, one of the pilots stabbed the other pilot, and apparently attempted to crash the plane with everyone on board,” Netanyahu said Wednesday, according to an unofficial translation of his remarks. “Additional flight crew on board entered the cockpit and managed to stabilize the aircraft.”FlyDubai FZ1073 was planned to head to Tel Aviv, Israel, but it was diverted to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia after the pilot and other personnel sent out a distress signal as they were injured in the altercation aboard.
内塔尼亚胡将这起事件称为一起极其严重的安全事件;以色列国防部长伊塔马尔·本-格维尔在社交媒体上称这起未遂劫机事件是“恐怖分子”的所为。他确认“所有乘客都已脱离危险”,并提到自己与机上150多名乘客中的一名进行了交谈。这名乘客向内塔尼亚胡详细描述了飞机如何一度急速下降(下降幅度达14,000英尺)。
Netanyahu described the incident as a highly severe security incident, while Israeli Defense Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir characterized the alleged attempted hijacking on social media as the work of a “terrorist.”The Israeli prime minister said “all passengers are out of danger” and described one meeting he had with one of the more than 150 passengers who were aboard. The passenger detailed to Netanyahu how the plane descended into freefall temporarily.
根据飞行雷达的数据,飞机在不到一分钟的时间内下降了14,000英尺。
The plane dropped 14,000 feet in under a minute, according to an altitude path by Flight Radar.
“这名乘客告诉我,他设法与一名机组人员一起进入了驾驶舱,并共同制服了那个企图破坏飞机系统的飞行员,”内塔尼亚胡继续说道。他还确认,沙特阿拉伯当局正在对这名副驾驶进行审讯,并指示以色列和沙特阿拉伯的安全部门做好应对其他潜在威胁的准备。
“[The passenger] told me that, somehow, he managed to break into the cockpit together with one of the crew members, and that together they neutralized the pilot who carried out the stabbing while he was attempting to sabotage the aircraft’s systems,” Netanyahu continued. Netanyahu confirmed the co-pilot was being interrogated by Saudi Arabian authorities and he has “instructed the security establishment to prepare for additional potential threats” in Israel and Saudi Arabia.
据《以色列时报》提供的照片显示,初步检查发现飞机的方向舵可能因飞机急剧下降而受损。
An initial inspection of the plane appears to show damage sustained to its rudder, likely caused by the rapid descent the flight took, according to photos provided by Times of Israel.
内塔尼亚胡表示,沙特阿拉伯的当地官员仍在调查这起事件,以色列已要求以色列的官员也参与调查。
Netanyahu added Saudi Arabian local officials are still investigating the incident and Israel has requested for its officials to take part as well.
