印度籍飞行员史密特·马查(Machchhar)在帮助阻止阿联酋当局认定为恐怖袭击的一次飞贝达伊航班前往特拉维夫的事件中发挥了关键作用，现已在美国国会正式获得表彰。
一群跨党派的美国议员在国会提交了一项荣誉决议，表彬马查以及飞贝达伊1073航班的机组人员和乘客在9月30日事件中的表现。
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian pilot who helped avert what UAE authorities have classified as a terrorist attack aboard a flydubai flight to Tel Aviv, is now being formally recognised in the US Congress.A bipartisan group of US lawmakers has introduced a House resolution honouring Machchhar, along with the crew and passengers of flydubai Flight 1073, for their actions during the September 30 incident.
这项决议编号为H.Res.1612，由新泽西州国会议员乔什·戈特海默(Josh Gottheimer)于10月5日提交，并交付众议院外交事务委员会审议。共和党议员迈克尔·麦考尔(Michael McCaul)和唐·贝肯(Don Bacon)也列为该决议的共同发起人。
The resolution, H. Res. 1612, was introduced on October 5 by New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer and referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Republicans Michael McCaul and Don Bacon are also listed as co-sponsors of the resolution.
决议特别赞扬马查在保护机上人员时的“非凡英勇”，并致敬那些下班后的飞行员、机舱乘务员以及协助锁定驾驶舱并将飞机安全降落的乘客。调查聚焦袭击者背景国会的这一举动与调查人员继续调查波音737客机内部发生的事情以及袭击者背景的调查同时进行。多名消息人士已将该航班的副驾驶员确认为阿曼国籍的哈马姆·阿尔·哈马米(Hamam al-Hammami)，尽管当局尚未公开确认有关其身份的所有细节。
It specifically praises Machchhar for his "extraordinary courage" in protecting those on board and recognises the off-duty pilots, cabin crew and passengers who helped secure the cockpit and bring the aircraft safely to the ground.PROBE TURNS TO ATTACKER'S BACKGROUNDThe congressional move comes as investigators continue examining what happened inside the Boeing 737 and the background of the attacker. Multiple sources have identified the first officer as Omani national Hamam al-Hammami, although authorities have not publicly confirmed all details surrounding his identity.
调查范围已超出航班上发生的事件。多个国家的当局正在调查他的行踪、教育背景、培训情况以及可能与极端主义活动的联系。
The investigation is no longer limited to the events that unfolded during the flight. Authorities in several countries are examining his movements, education, training and possible links to extremist activity.
新西兰警方周二表示，该副驾驝在2018年11月至2019年5月期间在新西兰完成了部分飞行训练。新西兰当局目前正在回顾他在那段时期的活动。澳大利亚反恐机构也正在调查其可能与澳大利亚的联系。
New Zealand Police said on Tuesday that the co-pilot completed part of his flight training in the country between November 2018 and May 2019. New Zealand authorities are now reviewing his activities during that period. Australian counterterrorism authorities are also examining possible links to Australia.
有报道称，这名嫌疑人持学生签证入境后曾在该校就读。CBS新闻另据报道，阿联酋审讯人员获悉，这名袭击者在加入迪拜航空之前便已策划好此次行动，意图驾驶飞机撞向以色列的本古里安机场。这些说法目前仍处于调查阶段，尚未得到独立证实。因此，正在展开的国际调查并不仅限于事件本身，调查人员还试图查明袭击者的动机、他是否与极端组织有关联，以及是否还有其他人知晓或协助了这一阴谋。
Reports have said the suspect studied there after entering the country on a student visa.CBS News separately reported that UAE interrogators were told the attacker had planned the operation before joining flydubai and intended to crash the aircraft into Israel's Ben Gurion Airport. Those claims remain part of the ongoing investigation and have not been independently established. The emerging international probe is therefore examining more than the attack itself. Investigators are seeking to establish what may have motivated the attacker, whether he had extremist connections and whether anyone else knew about or assisted in the plot.CALLS FOR TRUMP TO HONOUR HERO PILOTThe US congressional resolution follows calls for Machchhar to receive recognition from the highest levels of the American government.
呼吁特朗普表彰这位英雄飞行员在美国国会通过相关决议之前，已有呼声要求美国政府高层对马赫查尔予以表彰。保守派活动人士劳拉·卢默近日敦促美国总统唐纳德·特朗普亲自向这位印度籍飞行员致敬。卢默在接受《印度今日》采访时称马赫查尔为“勇敢的英雄”，表示他的行为值得获得最高级别的认可。她还提议邀请马赫查尔及其他协助制服袭击者的人员出席即将在迈阿密举行的G20峰会。
Conservative activist Laura Loomer recently urged US President Donald Trump to honour the Indian pilot personally. Speaking to India Today, Loomer described Machchhar as a "brave hero" and said his actions deserved recognition at the highest level. She also suggested inviting Machchhar and others who helped restrain the attacker to the upcoming G20 summit in Miami.
卢默建议由特朗普、莫迪和内塔尼亚胡共同主持一场仪式，以表彰那些成功阻止飞机酿成大规模伤亡惨剧的人们。她强调：“这些英雄理应受邀参加G20峰会”，并特别提到了马赫查尔以及那些协助制伏袭击者的乘客。迪拜航空航班为何骤降14,000英尺当时，迪拜航空FZ1073航班上载有174名乘客，其中包括27名儿童和4名美国公民。
Loomer proposed a ceremony involving Trump, Modi and Netanyahu to honour those who helped prevent the aircraft from becoming a mass-casualty attack." These heroes" should be invited to the G20, Loomer argued, specifically pointing to Machchhar and the passengers who helped overpower the attacker.HOW FLYDUBAI PLANE PLUNGED 14,000 FEETflydubai Flight FZ1073 was carrying 174 people, including 27 children and four US citizens, when the Omani national, Hamam al-Hammami, attacked Machchhar in the cockpit with an emergency crash axe.
阿曼籍男子哈马姆·阿尔-哈马米用紧急逃生斧在驾驶舱内袭击了马赫查尔。短短30秒内，飞机高度便骤降了14,000英尺。尽管身负重伤，马赫查尔仍奋力反击并成功打开驾驶舱门。
The aircraft plunged more than 14,000 feet in less than 30 seconds. Despite suffering serious injuries, Machchhar managed to fight back and unlock the cockpit door.
这使得机上的休息中的飞行员得以进入驾驶舱，协助机组人员重新掌控局面。随后，乘客与机组人员也一同合力制服了副驾驶。飞机随即改道飞往沙特阿拉伯的塔布克，并安全着陆，机上人员全部安然无恙。阿联酋总检察长后来表示，调查结果显示该副驾驶企图实施恐怖行为。此后，马查尔在病床上讲述了这段惊险经历。
That allowed off-duty pilots on board to enter and help the crew regain control of the situation. Passengers and crew members then joined the effort to restrain the first officer. The aircraft was diverted to Tabuk in Saudi Arabia, where it landed safely. Everyone on board was accounted for. The UAE Attorney General later said the investigation had concluded that the first officer had attempted to carry out a terrorist act. Machchhar has since spoken about the ordeal from his hospital bed.
在与以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的通话中，这位印度籍飞行员称，尽管身负重伤，他深知绝不能让乘客们丧命。印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪也通过视频通话向身处阿布扎比医院的马查尔致以慰问，赞扬他在危急时刻表现出的勇气、冷静与沉着；内塔尼亚胡同样公开称赞了这位飞行员的英勇行为。——全文结束
In a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Indian pilot said that despite his injuries, he knew he could not allow the passengers to die. Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Machchhar via video call from his hospital bed in Abu Dhabi and praised his courage, presence of mind and composure during the ordeal, while Netanyahu also publicly praised the pilot for his actions.- Ends
