华盛顿,11月2日电 参议员塔米·达克沃斯周一要求政府机构对上周允许美国总统专机作为儿童万圣节派对一部分飞越白宫的决定提供“全面核算”。
WASHINGTON, Nov 2 - Senator Tammy Duckworth on Monday asked government agencies to offer a "full accounting" of the decision to allow a White House flyover by the US presidential airplane as part of a children's Halloween party last week.
作为监督联邦航空管理局(FAA)小组委员会的民主党首席议员,达克沃斯表示,飞行追踪数据显示,该飞机周四在距地面约400至1000英尺、接近华盛顿纪念碑顶端的高度,对白宫进行了两次飞越。她称这是一次“危险的特技飞行”,低于联邦航空管理局要求的最低安全飞行高度。
Duckworth, who is the top Democrat on subcommittee overseeing the Federal Aviation Administration, said flight-tracking data show the aircraft on Thursday made two passes over the White House between roughly 400 and 1,000 feet and close to top of the Washington Monument. She called it a "dangerous stunt" below the minimum safe altitude required by the FAA.
