一架从百慕大飞往波士顿的急救飞机失踪后，搜寻队伍在楠塔基特岛附近发现了飞机残骸。空中交通管制录音显示飞机当时可能出现电气故障且处于盲目飞行状态，这进一步引发了人们对事故原因的担忧。
Search teams located a debris field off Nantucket after an air ambulance vanished en route from Bermuda to Boston. Air traffic audio suggesting electrical failure and blind flying has deepened concerns about what went wrong.
美国海岸警卫队称，搜寻人员已在马萨诸塞州楠塔基特岛近海发现了这架失踪急救机的残骸。该加拿大制造的喷气式飞机于周六清晨从百慕大起飞后便失去联络，机上共有六名乘客。
Searchers found a debris field off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, from an air ambulance that went missing over the Atlantic during a flight from Bermuda to Boston, the US Coast Guard said. The Canadian-ed jet was carrying six people when it vanished early on Saturday.
海岸警卫队透露，机上人员包括四名加拿大公民和两名百慕大居民，目前搜寻工作仍在进行，遇难者家属也已得到通知。该机构还表示，一艘巡逻舰将彻夜继续在水域中搜寻。
The Coast Guard said those on board included four Canadian nationals and two Bermudian nationals, and their next of kin had been informed as the search continued. It added that one of its cutters would keep searching the waters overnight and into Sunday.
空中交通管制录音显示，在暴风雨即将来临之际，这架医疗专机可能因电气故障而陷入盲目飞行状态。据LiveATC.net发布的录音内容，飞机接近海岸线时飞行员报告出现电气故障并宣布进入紧急状态。
Air traffic control audio indicates the medical transport may have been "coming in blind" with electrical problems shortly before it disappeared, as a storm loomed ahead. According to audio posted by LiveATC.net, the pilot reported electrical problems and declared an emergency as the jet approached the coast.
录音中，管制员询问飞行员：“收到，你说自己正在盲目飞行，是这样吗？”前美国交通部监察长玛丽·斯基亚沃指出，这一细节表明当时暴风雨正逼近，飞机可能因此失去了导航设备。飞行追踪网站FlightRadar24提供的初步数据也显示，该飞机从约24,000英尺的巡航高度急速下降至约10,000英尺。
In the recording, a controller is heard asking the pilot, "Roger, you said you're coming in blind. Is that what you said?" Mary Schiavo, a former Inspector General of the Transportation Department, said this suggested the aircraft may have lost its navigational instruments as a storm moved across its path on radar. Preliminary data from flight tracking site FlightRadar24 also showed that the plane descended sharply from its cruising altitude of about 24,000 feet to around 10,000 feet.
“这次剧烈下降中发生了严重事故，飞机飞入了一场大风暴。在这种地方失去仪表并盲飞，情况极其危险，”现身为航空律师的斯基亚沃说道。“人很容易迷失方向，不知道自己是在转弯、爬升还是下降。空间定向障碍来得非常快。”据百慕大机场运营商Skyport称，这架喷气式飞机从百慕大L.F.韦德国际机场起飞，执行前往马萨诸塞州的夜间航班时，机上共有四名机组人员和两名乘客。
"Something bad happened with this big drop, and they flew into this big storm. It's a terrible place to have a loss of your instruments and be flying blind," said Schiavo, who is now an aviation attorney. "It's very easy to get disoriented and not know if you're turning, climbing, descending, etc. Spatial orientation hits pretty quickly." The jet had four crew members and two passengers on board when it departed Bermuda's L.F. Wade International Airport for the night flight to Massachusetts, according to Skyport, the operator of the Bermuda airport.
加拿大交通部长史蒂文·麦基农在X平台上表示，加拿大交通部正密切关注事态发展，并与相关部门合作开展搜救工作。
Canada's Minister of Transport Steven MacKinnon said on X that Transport Canada was closely monitoring the situation and working with authorities on the search and rescue effort.
海岸警卫队表示，美国联邦航空管理局报告称，这架湾流G100在周六凌晨很早就失去了联系。美国国家运输安全委员会表示正在收集信息，但尚未立即说明是否会展开调查。
The Coast Guard said the Federal Aviation Administration had reported that the Gulfstream G100 lost contact very early on Saturday morning. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was gathering information, but did not immediately say whether it would investigate.
在发现残骸区域后，搜救工作仍在继续，当局正持续努力追踪这架在百慕大至波士顿航线上失踪的空中救护车。
The search remained under way after the debris field was found, with authorities continuing efforts to trace the air ambulance that disappeared during its Bermuda-to-Boston flight.
