纽约州州长凯西·霍楚呼吁美国交通部部长肖恩·达菲辞职，或由唐纳德·特朗普总统将其免职。此前周五发生全国性航空中断，迫使实施全美停飞令。
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has called for US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to resign or be removed from office by President Donald Trump following a nationwide aviation disruption that forced a ground stop on Friday.
霍楚周六发表声明，批评达菲对国家航空系统内部问题的处理，指出长期存在的空管人员短缺和反复出现的通信故障。霍楚指责达菲“更专注于在自己的真人秀节目中担任主角”她指责这位交通部长更关注个人公众形象，而非解决联邦航空管理局（FAA）面临的严峻挑战。“从长期的空管人员短缺到反复出现的通信中断，我们航空系统的严重失误在肖恩·达菲任内已成为一种模式，”霍楚说。
In a statement issued on Saturday, Hochul criticised Duffy's handling of problems within the country's aviation system, pointing to persistent air traffic controller shortages and repeated communication failures. Kathy Hochul says Sean Duffy ‘more focused on starring in his own reality show’She accused the Transportation Secretary of focusing more on his public image than addressing serious challenges facing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). “From chronic air traffic controller shortages to repeated communications breakdowns, serious lapses in our aviation system have become a pattern on Sean Duffy’s watch,” Hochul said.
她补充说，达菲“更专注于在自己的真人秀节目中担任主角，而不是解决其机构面临的危机”。
She added that Duffy had been “more focused on starring in his own reality show than addressing the crisis at his agency”.Hochul urged President Trump to remove Duffy “immediately” if he did not step down voluntarily.
霍楚敦促特朗普总统，如果达菲不自愿辞职，应“立即”将其免职。霍楚呼吁对航空中断展开全面调查这位纽约州州长还呼吁国会调查周五全国性停飞令的相关情况，强调在繁忙的假日出行期前，公众对航空安全的信心至关重要。
Hochul calls for full investigation into aviation disruptionThe New York governor also called on Congress to investigate the circumstances surrounding Friday's nationwide ground stop, stressing the importance of public confidence in aviation safety ahead of the busy holiday travel period."
“数百万美国人正准备假日出行，家庭理应得到答案，并对我们天空的安全充满信心，”她说。
With millions of Americans preparing to travel for the holidays, families deserve answers and confidence in the safety of our skies," she said.
霍楚进一步坚持要求国会必须进行全面调查，查明出了什么问题，并防止类似事件再次发生。肖恩·达菲将全国性停飞归咎于设备故障针对外界对这次中断的担忧，达菲周六表示，联邦航空管理局（FAA）不认为此次通信故障是由网络攻击造成的。
Hochul further insisted that Congress must conduct a comprehensive investigation to establish what went wrong and prevent similar incidents in the future. Sean Duffy blames faulty equipment for nationwide ground stopResponding to concerns over the disruption, Duffy said on Saturday that the FAA did not believe a cyberattack was responsible for the communications failure.
据这位交通部长称，事故始于一处偏远的联邦航空管理局设施的例行维护期间，当时一名承包商正在将电信基础设施从传统的铜线转换为光纤连接。
According to the Transportation Secretary, the incident began during routine maintenance at a remote FAA facility, where a contractor was transferring telecommunications infrastructure from traditional copper wiring to fibre-optic connections.
达菲解释说，这一已在美国持续数十年的转换过程遇到了问题，涉及人为失误或设备缺陷。
Duffy explained that the transition, which has been taking place across the United States for decades, encountered a problem involving either human error or defective equipment."
他说：“无论是承包商失误，还是一件有缺陷的设备，当我们从铜线切换到光纤、更换那台路由器时，它开始向我们空管系统中的其他路由器发送海量数据。”
Either through contractor error or a faulty piece of equipment, that router that was being replaced as we switched from copper to fibre, it started flooding other routers in our air traffic control system," he said.
他透露，受影响的路由器每四到五秒就产生超过1000次连接尝试，淹没了系统的部分功能。
He revealed that the affected router generated more than 1,000 connection attempts every four to five seconds, overwhelming parts of the system.
此次中断影响了空管人员与飞机之间的通信，同时也导致雷达数据传输出现问题。作为预防措施，当局暂时关闭了受影响的空域，以确保飞行安全。达菲表示，在官员隔离了导致中断的维护作业后，运行恢复正常。
The disruption affected communications between air traffic controllers and aircraft, while also causing problems with radar feeds. As a precaution, authorities temporarily closed the affected airspace to ensure flight safety. Duffy said operations returned to normal after officials isolated the maintenance work responsible for the disruption.
他排除了网络攻击是可能的解释，将此次事件描述为联邦航空管理局现有基础设施的故障。他说：“这是一个未能经受住考验的联邦航空管理局系统。”联邦航空管理局排除网络攻击和人工智能相关事件联邦航空管理局局长布莱恩·贝德福德也在周六的新闻发布会上回应了此次事件，将全国性停飞归因于设备故障。
He ruled out a cyberattack as the likely explanation, describing the incident as a failure of the FAA's existing infrastructure." This was an FAA system that didn't meet the moment," he said.FAA rules out cyberattack and AI-related incidentFAA Administrator Bryan Bedford also addressed the incident during Saturday's press conference, attributing the nationwide ground stop to faulty equipment.
贝德福德驳回了关于中断是由恶意活动或人工智能相关干扰引起的猜测。
Bedford dismissed suggestions that the disruption was caused by malicious activity or artificial intelligence-related interference."
他说：“我们没有看到任何恶意行为的证据，也没有看到任何与人工智能相关的证据。”他证实，调查人员正在……正在查明导致故障的有缺陷设备。贝德福德补充说，该机构在完成技术调查和根本原因分析后，将发布更多信息。
We see zero evidence of anything nefarious, and zero evidence of anything AI-related," he said. He confirmed that investigators were working to identify the defective equipment responsible for the failure. Bedford added that the agency would release further information once its technical investigation and root cause analysis had been completed.
