斐济籍飞行员亨森·史蒂文和南非籍飞行员罗温·图斯接管了飞机,此前副驾驶用斧头袭击了印度籍机长斯米特·马查尔。一个月后,他们的名字首次公之于众。
Henson Steven of Fiji and Rowan Tooth of South Africa took the controls after a co-pilot attacked Indian captain Smit Machchhar with an axe. A month later, their names are public for the first time.
据《Ynet News》报道,两名在沙特阿拉伯成功迫降一架受损的迪拜航空客机、化解机上未遂恐怖袭击的飞行员身份已被披露。他们分别是来自斐济的亨森·史蒂文和来自南非的罗温·图斯。两人当时作为额外机组人员乘坐迪拜航空FZ1073航班(波音737)从迪拜飞往特拉维夫,准备执行返程任务,9月30日副驾驶在驾驶舱内突然袭击印度籍机长斯米特·马查尔。
Two pilots who landed a damaged Flydubai plane in Saudi Arabia after an attempted terror attack on board have been named, according to Ynet News. They are Henson Steven from Fiji and Rowan Tooth from South Africa. Both were on Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv, a Boeing 737, as extra crew, ready to fly the return leg of the trip, when the co-pilot turned on Indian captain Smit Machchhar in the cockpit on September 30.
他们的名字于周二(10月27日)公布,当时阿联酋授予他们“扎耶德二世一级勋章”。在袭击中受重伤的机长马查尔也获得了同一勋章。直到现在,马查尔的身份以及以色列乘客的作用一直是关注焦点。而将客机安全降落的两名飞行员此前一直未公开露面。
Their names came out on Tuesday, October 27, when the UAE gave them its First Class Order of Zayed II. The captain, Smit Machchhar, an Indian pilot who was badly hurt in the attack, got the same award. Until now, the identity of Machchhar and the part played by Israeli passengers had drawn most of the attention. The two pilots who brought the jet down safely had stayed out of public view.
两名飞行员是谁?早期报道曾称其中一人在新西兰。授勋仪式显示他来自斐济。
Who are the two pilots Early accounts had placed one of the men in New Zealand. The ceremony showed he is from Fiji.
据悉,史蒂文曾任职于斐济航空。图斯此前在南非航空公司Airlink工作,2023年加入迪拜航空。据Ynet报道,他是已故前南非板球运动员巴里·图斯的儿子,巴里·图斯于去年去世。
Steven used to work for Fiji Airways. Tooth, whose name was first reported by South African media, worked for the South African airline Airlink before he joined Flydubai in 2023. He is the son of Barry Tooth, a former South African cricketer who died last year, Ynet said.
袭击经过 FZ1073航班于9月30日从迪拜飞往特拉维夫。Ynet称,来自阿曼的副驾驶哈马姆·阿尔-哈马米用驾驶舱内备用的应急斧击打马查尔头部。
How the attack unfolded Flight FZ1073 was flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv on September 30. Ynet said the co-pilot, Hamam al-Hammami from Oman, hit Machchhar on the head with an emergency axe kept in the cockpit.

机长被击中数次,大量失血、视力模糊,但他仍打开了驾驶舱门。这使得乘客和机组人员得以进入。以色列乘客制服了副驾驶,并用耳机线将其捆绑。
The captain was struck several times. He lost a lot of blood and his sight was blurred, but he still opened the cockpit door. That let passengers and crew come in. Israeli passengers overpowered the co-pilot and tied him with headphone cables.
《以色列时报》报道称,该飞机在30秒内下坠了16,000英尺(4,900米),且方向舵受损。随后,Steven和Tooth进入驾驶舱,接管操控并稳住了飞机。他们将飞机飞往沙特阿拉伯的图卜克机场,并安全着陆。一架替代飞机随后将乘客送往特拉维夫。
The Times of Israel reported that the plane fell 16,000 feet (4,900 metres) in 30 seconds and that the rudder was damaged. Steven and Tooth then went into the cockpit, took control and steadied the jet. They flew it to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia, where it landed safely. A replacement plane later took the passengers to Tel Aviv.
阿联酋表彰三名飞行员 迪拜王储谢赫·哈姆丹·本·穆罕默德·本·拉希德·阿勒马克图姆颁发了奖章。扎耶德二世一级勋章是阿联酋最高级别的平民奖项之一,通常授予外交官和高级官员。
UAE honours three pilots Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, gave out the medals. The First Class Order of Zayed II is one of the highest civilian awards in the UAE. It is usually given to diplomats and senior officials.
阿联酋总统向参与9月机上事件的flydubai机组成员授予扎耶德二世一级勋章,以表彰他们为确保乘客安全所作出的勇敢努力。谢赫·哈姆丹·本·穆罕默德颁发了荣誉,并赞扬了机组人员的行动和责任感。
UAE President confers the First Class Order of Zayed II on the flydubai crew members involved in September’s in-flight incident, in recognition of their courageous efforts to ensure the safety of passengers. The honours were presented by Hamdan bin Mohammed, who commended the crew’s actions and sense of responsibility.
阿联酋总统外交顾问安瓦尔·加尔加什在X平台上写道,该奖项是对机组人员勇气的国家级认可。他补充道:“保护人类生命是最高职责。”
Anwar Gargash, a diplomatic adviser to the UAE president, wrote on X that the award was a national recognition of the crew’s courage. He added that “protecting human life is the highest duty”.
阿联酋总统谢赫·穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬授予“flydubai”机组扎耶德二世一级勋章,高度肯定他们在保护旅客生命中展现的勇气、英勇与镇定自若。

Machchhar身穿制服出席了仪式,距离事发已过去一个月。他的左臂吊着吊带,头皮上的伤疤依然清晰可见。
Machchhar came to the ceremony in uniform, one month after the attack. His left arm was in a sling and the scars on his scalp could still be seen.
活动中的一个瞬间在网络上广泛传播。阿联酋总统谢赫·穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬注视着机长的头部伤口,询问康复还需要多久。Machchhar表示大约还需要两个月。总统开玩笑说,康复后他们应该见面进行一次训练,届时他将教这位飞行员如何格斗。Machchhar大笑并表示那将是一种荣幸。
A moment from the event spread widely online. UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan looked at the captain’s head wounds and asked how long recovery would take. Machchhar said about two more months. The president joked that they should meet after that for a training session, where he would teach the pilot how to fight. Machchhar laughed and said it would be an honour.
