英国洛登河畔谢菲尔德,10月4日电——据路透社,迪拜航空FZ1073航班在恢复平稳并安全着陆前,于约30秒内骤降1.6万英尺,感觉会像乘坐“垂直过山车”。一名航空教员曾利用飞行模拟器重现这段下坠过程。
SHERFIELD ON LODDON, England, Oct 4 - Flydubai's flight FZ1073, which plunged 16,000 feet in about 30 seconds before being levelled out and landing safely, would have felt like a "vertical roller coaster", according to an aviation instructor who recreated the descent in a flight simulator for Reuters.
据英格兰南部洛登河畔谢菲尔德ALPA Simulation的所有者阿尔贝托·帕杜安内利说,周三飞行过程中,副驾驶袭击机长后,飞机陡降会给波音737 MAX 8飞机以及乘客和机组人员带来巨大压力。
The steep fall, after an attack on the captain by the co-pilot during a flight on Wednesday, would have put huge strain on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft - as well as the passengers and crew, said Alberto Paduanelli, owner of ALPA Simulation in Sherfield on Loddon, southern England.
阿联酋总检察长周六表示,这架由迪拜飞往以色列的迪拜航空客机上的副驾驶使用应急破拆斧袭击了机长,并称这起事件是“恐怖袭击”。
The co-pilot of the flydubai jet, which was bound for Israel from Dubai, attacked the pilot with an emergency crash axe, the United Arab Emirates prosecutor general said on Saturday, calling the incident a "terrorist attack".
两名了解调查情况的消息人士告诉路透社,副驾驶是阿曼籍男子哈曼·阿尔-哈马米。阿联酋当局没有立即回应确认其身份的置评请求。路透社也未能独立联系上哈马米置评。
The co-pilot was identified as Hammam al-Hammami, an Omani national, two sources with knowledge of the investigation told Reuters. UAE authorities did not immediately respond to a request for confirmation of his identity. Reuters could not independently reach al-Hammami for comment.
迪拜航空表示,事件相关情况仍在调查之中,目前无法进一步置评。阿曼尚未就此事件发表评论。
Flydubai says the circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation and it cannot comment further. Oman has yet to comment on the incident.
帕杜安内利坐在模拟器驾驶舱的操纵位上说:“在30秒内骤降1.6万英尺(4877米),感觉就像在乘坐一部非常、非常陡直的过山车。”
"A plunge of 16,000 feet (4,877 metres) over 30 seconds will feel like you are over on a very, very vertical roller coaster," Paduanelli said, sitting at the controls of the simulator cockpit.
他说:“区别在于,乘坐过山车时,你知道将会发生什么。”他补充说,遇到突然下坠时,“你会感觉到身体承受了负G力”。
"The difference is that on the roller coaster, you know what's happening," he said, adding that with a sudden drop "you feel the negative g-force on your body".
他说,对于没有系好安全带的乘客来说,“你的身体真的会从座椅上浮起来。”
For passengers who are not strapped in, "Your body will literally lift from the seat", he said.
帕杜安内利利用模拟器重现事件后表示,飞机在开始下坠前,自动驾驶系统便已断开,导致客机迅速加速。
Using a simulator to recreate the incident, Paduanelli said the aircraft's autopilot disconnected before the plunge began, causing the jet to accelerate rapidly.
美国总统唐纳德·特朗普称赞波音飞机在事故中承受住了巨大的冲击力。在乘客制服副驾驶后,飞机恢复了水平飞行,随后机上备用机组的飞行员成功将飞机降落。
US President Donald Trump has praised the Boeing jet for withstanding the severe forces put on it during the incident. The plane was levelled out after passengers overpowered the co-pilot, before a reserve crew of pilots onboard landed the plane.
特朗普在“真实社交”(Truth Social)平台上发文称:“这是精确且强大的结构规划与设计的一次惊人展示。”他补充道,737 Max“能够承受远超其设计预期和标准的G力与应力”。波音公司未就置评请求作出回应。
"It was an amazing show of precise and powerful structural planning and design," Trump posted on Truth Social, adding that the 737 Max "was able to withstand G Forces and Strain far beyond what it was designed and expected to do". Boeing did not respond to a request for comment.
飞机在设计阶段会经过测试,以承受相当大的气动载荷,但帕杜内利表示,长时间的高速俯冲会对机身造成极端应力。
Aircraft are designed and tested to withstand substantial aerodynamic loads, but Paduanelli said a prolonged high-speed dive can place extreme strain on an airframe.
帕杜内利说:“除了机长不幸受伤外,没有任何人受到伤害,而且机上有两名飞行员,这简直是个奇迹。”关于阿尔-哈马米过往的细节已逐渐披露。
"This was nothing but a miracle that nothing was hurt apart from the captain, unfortunately, and that two pilots were onboard," Paduanelli said. Details about al-Hammami's past have trickled out.
摩洛哥皇家航空告诉路透社,他于2025年在该航空公司接受了为期三个月的培训,但随后申请在该公司工作的请求被拒绝。英国白金汉郡新大学表示,他曾在该校修读航空管理远程课程,但并未接受飞行员培训。
Royal Air Maroc told Reuters he did a three-month training with the airline in 2025 but his application to work there afterwards was rejected. Buckinghamshire New University in Britain said he did a distance-learning course in aviation management with the institution, but no pilot training.
澳大利亚联邦警察发言人周日表示,当地当局正在调查阿尔-哈马米与“澳大利亚的关联”。一名了解调查情况的消息人士称,该副驾驶曾在墨尔本的一所大学就读。
An Australian Federal Police spokesperson said on Sunday that authorities there were investigating al-Hammami's "links to Australia". A source briefed on the investigation said the co-pilot studied at a university in Melbourne.
