以下是POLITICO获取的关于该报告的三个关键要点。POLITICO获得的一份陆军对去年华盛顿空难的调查报告包含数十项内部建议,其中包括要求在繁忙空域的直升机上配备关键的位置接收技术,而这正是国会中一项争论激烈的航空安全辩论的核心。
Here are three key takeaways about the report obtained by POLITICO. An Army investigation into last year’s Washington air disaster, obtained by POLITICO, contains dozens of internal recommendations, including that its helicopters in busy airspace be equipped with a key location-receiving technology that is at the heart of a contentious aviation safety fight in Congress.
遇难者家属一直在敦促公开发布这份长达50页、日期为5月14日的报告。该报告于7月下旬获得副部长迈克·奥巴达尔(Mike Obadal)的签批。
Families of those killed in the disaster had been pressing for the release of the 50-page report, which is dated May 14. The report received sign-off from Undersecretary Mike Obadal in late July.
该文件中陈述的事实大体上与国家运输安全委员会(NTSB)先前披露的关于2025年1月罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场附近陆军“黑鹰”直升机与太平洋西南航空(PSA Airlines)航班相撞致死事故的信息相吻合。
The facts laid out in the document largely track with what the National Transportation Safety Board previously revealed about the deadly crash between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and PSA Airlines flight near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January 2025.
但该报告还包括陆军调查官、中将迈克尔·C·麦库里(Michael C. McCurry)为应对这场造成67人死亡(包括“黑鹰”上的全部3名士兵)的灾难而提出的30多项建议。陆军没有立即回应关于该报告及其中有多少建议已经落实的置评请求。
But the report also includes more than 30 suggestions made by the Army’s investigating officer, Lt. Gen. Michael C. McCurry, in response to the catastrophe, which killed 67 people, including all three soldiers aboard the Black Hawk. The Army didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the report and how many of the recommendations have been completed.
