美國一機械工偷駕飛機后慘烈墜機

A plane has crashed in Washington state after a mechanic stole it from the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Pierce County Sheriff's office said.

皮爾斯郡警長辦公室近日表示，一名機械工從西雅圖-塔科馬國際機場偷走了一架飛機，后于華盛頓州墜毀。

The aircraft took off without authorization and without passengers with "an airline employee" at the controls, airport officials tweeted last Friday.

機場官員上周五發(fā)推特說，這架飛機未經(jīng)授權(quán)起飛，機上沒有乘客，飛機僅由“一名航空公司員工”控制。

The plane went down on Ketron Island, which is about 40 miles southwest of the airport, the sheriff's office said.

警長辦公室稱，最終這架飛機在距離機場西南約40英里的科特羅島上墜毀。

 

The mechanic has only been identified as a 29-year-old man from Pierce County, sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer tweeted.

警長發(fā)言人埃德·特羅耶爾發(fā)推稱，目前僅能確認該機械工為皮爾斯郡的一名29歲男子。

"It is believed the mechanic's lack of flying skills led to the crash," Troyer said.

特羅耶爾表示：“據(jù)稱該機械工缺乏飛行技能，因此導致了墜機事故。”

In a tweet, Alaska Airlines said a Horizon Air Q400 turboprop aircraft that was involved in an unauthorized takeoff around 8 p.m. local time had crashed.

阿拉斯加航空公司在推文中稱，一架Horizon Air Q400渦輪螺旋槳飛機于當?shù)貢r間晚上8點左右未經(jīng)授權(quán)起飛。

Normal operations at the airport were interrupted for a time by the unauthorized takeoff but have resumed, the airport said in its tweet.

西雅圖-塔科馬國際機場方面在其推文中表示，飛機未經(jīng)授權(quán)起飛一度造成機場中斷其正常運行，但現(xiàn)已恢復正常。
