西棕榈滩,11月3日电:一名联邦调查员周一表示,一架载有9人的商务喷气式飞机周日在佛罗里达州南部坠毁,机上包括一对带着两个年幼孩子的家庭,该飞机在撞向地面并化作火球前,很可能已开始解体。
West Palm Beach, Nov 3: A business jet that crashed in South Florida with nine people aboard, including a family with two young children, likely started breaking apart before it slammed into the ground and erupted in a fireball, a federal investigator said Monday.
路人拍摄的视频记录下了这架飞往巴哈马的“利尔喷气式飞机”周日下午急速俯冲,随后在格林埃克尔斯爆炸的过程,事发地位于西棕榈滩西南约7英里(11公里)处。火焰在环绕坑洞的路面碎块周围跳动,震惊的居民目瞪口呆地注视着这一切。浓重的黑烟笼罩了坠机现场,飞机几乎不留痕迹。
Video recorded by passersby captured the Bahamas-bound Learjet's rapid nosedive Sunday afternoon before it exploded in Greenacres, about 7 miles (11 kilometers) southwest of West Palm Beach. Flames flickered around chunks of pavement lining the crater as shocked residents looked on in horror. Thick black smoke engulfed the crash site and little remained of the plane.
据亲属透露,遇难者包括20岁的副驾驶纳塔利娅·加德利亚·菲格拉,以及科技企业家亚当·罗宾逊、其妻海伦·夏普及他们的两个年幼孩子。
The victims included 20-year-old co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, as well as technology entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his wife, Helen Sharp, and their two young children, relatives said.
美国国家运输安全委员会(NTSB)成员汤姆·查普曼在周一的新闻发布会上表示,调查人员发现证据表明,飞机在撞击地面前已开始解体,飞机残骸可能散落在很远的地方。
Jeff Gregory, 55-year-old Learjet 60 captain, recited the Lord's Prayer before death in Florida plane crashWeather is a major focus of the investigationNational Transportation Safety Board member Tom Chapman said during a news conference Monday that investigators found evidence the aircraft started breaking up before it hit the ground and that debris from the aircraft could be spread far and wide.
曾任职于美国国家运输安全委员会和联邦航空管理局的调查员杰夫·古泽蒂表示,飞机尾部的关键部件可能在湍流中或俯冲过程中脱落,导致飞机无法控制。“这很可能解释了飞机撞击地面前呈现的导弹般的俯冲姿态,”他说。
Jeff Guzzetti, a former investigator for the NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration, said key components of the jet's tail may have been lost during the turbulence or as it nose-dived, making the plane impossible to control." That very well could explain the missile-like profile just before it hit the ground," he said.
查普曼表示,天气状况将是调查的重点。周日该地区降下大雨,其中一名飞行员曾在高空向空中交通管制报告结冰情况。
Weather conditions will be a major focus of the investigation, Chapman said. Rain pounded the region on Sunday, and one of the pilots told air traffic control about icing conditions at a high altitude.
据“准时天气”报道,坠机当时,联邦航空管理局已向该区域飞行员发出警告,称有近乎静止的雷暴,云顶高度直达45,000英尺。
At the time of the crash, there was an FAA warning out to pilots in the area about nearly-stationary thunderstorms with cloud tops reaching all the way up to 45,000 feet, according to AccuWeather.
飞行员受训时会被要求尽可能避开雷暴,以确保安全。查普曼表示,调查人员仍需确定飞机在 3.5 万英尺(1.1 万米)高空——即飞行员开始报告问题时的飞行高度——的天气状况。
Pilots are trained to avoid thunderstorms, if possible, for safety. Chapman said investigators still have to determine what the weather conditions were at 35,000 feet (11,000 meters), the altitude the plane was flying at when the pilot started reporting problems.
退休航空公司飞行员、现为 Safety Operating Systems 咨询公司首席执行官的约翰·考克斯说,飞行员在无线电中描述的状况——既有颠簸,又有液态降水在零下 47 摄氏度的环境中冻结在飞机上——会让他感到恐惧。他表示,通常在该高度和温度下,降水以冰晶形式存在,只会绕过飞机飞行。“对我来说,这些都是非常明显的危险信号,”他说。
Retired airline pilot John Cox, who is now CEO of the Safety Operating Systems consulting business, said the conditions the pilot described on the radio, with turbulence as well as liquid precipitation freezing on the plane at negative 47 degrees Celsius, would have terrified him. Typically, precipitation at that altitude and temperature comes in the form of ice crystals that simply go around the plane, he said." Those are all really big red flags to me," he said.
查普曼说,该飞机原本配备了驾驶舱语音记录器,调查人员希望能找回。
Chapman said the plane was originally equipped with a cockpit voice recorder that investigators hope to recover."
“我们在现场还有大量工作要做,”美国国家运输安全委员会调查员蒂莫西·蒙维尔在新闻发布会上说。“这将是一个持续数天的过程,我们面临的最大障碍是从公路上的撞击坑中打捞主要残骸。”母亲确认其中一名飞行员身份查普曼说,这架喷气式飞机从得克萨斯州的奥斯汀-伯格斯特罗姆国际机场起飞,机上有两名机组人员和七名乘客。
We have a lot of work to do on scene," NTSB investigator Timothy Monville said at the news conference. "This will be a several-day process, and the biggest obstacle that we're going to have is recovering the major wreckage from the impacted crater on the roadway." Mother identifies one of the pilotsThe jet began its journey at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas with two crew and seven passengers, Chapman said.
卡米拉·科尔特莱蒂告诉《纽约邮报》和《纽约时报》,她 20 岁的女儿纳塔利娅·加德利亚·菲格雷拉斯是其中一名飞行员。
Camila Corteleti told the New York Post and New York Times that her daughter, 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, was one of the pilots.
据当地媒体当时报道,她在2023年、年仅17岁、就读于佛罗里达州西博卡拉顿社区高中高年级时取得了飞行员执照。她的飞行员执照显示,她具备驾驶该型号利尔喷气机的等级,但无担任机长指挥飞行的资格。她的父亲艾伦·菲尔盖拉斯告诉美联社,他尚未准备好谈论这起坠机事故。另一名飞行员的身份暂未披露。蒙维尔说,一名在飞机坠毁时驾车经过现场附近的男子腿部受伤,但他不清楚伤情程度。
She earned her pilot's license in 2023 while a 17-year-old senior at West Boca Raton Community High School in Florida, local news reports said at the time. Her pilot's license showed she had the rating to fly that model of Learjet but not to be in command of the flight. Her father, Allan Filgueiras, told The Associated Press he wasn't prepared to speak about the crash. The identity of the other pilot was not immediately disclosed.A man who was driving close to the scene as the plane crashed suffered leg wounds, Monville said, but he didn't know the extent of the injury.
飞行员报告遭遇湍流和结冰 随后飞机急剧下坠 飞机当时正向东飞行,飞行员开始报告问题。根据LiveATC.net捕获的空管录音,飞行员称飞机机身结冰,且湍流导致飞机上下颠簸幅度高达700英尺(约210米)。“我们遇到轻度、透明结冰,尚可控制,以及中度湍流,”飞行员告诉管制员。局势迅速恶化。飞行员请求许可再爬升2000英尺(约610米),随后迅速宣布紧急情况,因为飞机以惊人的速度失去高度。
Pilot reported turbulence and ice, then the jet fell rapidly The plane was heading east when the pilot started to report problems. According to air traffic control recordings captured by LiveATC.net, the pilot said ice was accumulating on the jet and that turbulence was jolting it by as much as 700 feet (210 meters)."We have light, clear ice that is manageable and moderate turbulence," the pilot told controllers. The situation rapidly deteriorated. The pilot requested permission to climb another 2,000 feet (610 meters) and then quickly declared an emergency as the jet lost altitude at an alarming rate."
“我们正在下降8000——Mayday,Mayday——我们正以每分钟10000英尺的速度下降,”飞行员无线电呼叫。“我们处于超速状态,以每分钟20000英尺的速度下降,”飞行员无线电呼叫。片刻后,飞行员说:“我们将撞向地面。”
We're descending 8,000 - mayday, mayday - we're descending 10,000 feet per minute," the pilot radioed." We are in an overspeed condition descending 20,000 feet per minute," the pilot radioed. Moments later, the pilot said: "We're going to crash into the ground."
视频显示飞机急剧向右倾斜随即坠毁 佛罗里达喷气机坠毁致9死 逐帧还原 部分地区居民仍不获准返家 棕榈滩县专员乔尔·G.弗洛雷斯在新闻发布会上表示,对于住在坠机现场附近的居民何时能够返回家园,该县“毫无头绪”,因为调查人员仍在继续搜索该地区,寻找可用于调查坠机原因的残骸和其他材料。弗洛雷斯说,已经为坠机现场附近近80辆移动房屋的居民设立了一个避难所。
Video shows the plane banking sharply to the right before crashing andA blow-by-blow account of Florida jet crash that killed 9Some area residents are still not allowed to return homePalm Beach County Commissioner Joel G. Flores said at a news conference that the county "doesn't have a clue" when residents who live near the crash site will be able to return to their homes as investigators continue to comb the area for debris and other material that could be used to investigate the cause of the crash.A shelter has been established for the residents of almost 80 mobile homes near the crash site, Flores said." Our concern right now is clearing the scene so that our residents can get back to normal," he said.
他说:“我们现在的关切是清理现场,以便我们的居民能够恢复正常生活。我们真的没有时间表来说明他们何时能够梳理完所有证据并完成所有需要做的事情,这让我们的社区在寻找答案。”
"We don't really have a timeline as to when they are going to be able to comb through all the evidence and do everything they need to do, and that leaves our community looking for answers." APLAPL
