埃航客機失事無人生還

3月10日，埃塞俄比亞航空公司一架客機在起飛后不久墜毀，所有乘客和機組人員都在墜機事件中喪生，遇難者來自30多個國家，其中有8名中國乘客。

An Ethiopian Airlines jet has crashed shortly after take-off from Addis Ababa, killing all on board.

當?shù)貢r間10日，埃塞俄比亞航空公司一架飛機從亞的斯亞貝巴起飛不久后墜毀，機上無人生還。

The airline said 149 passengers and eight crew members were on flight ET302 from the Ethiopian capital to Nairobi in Kenya.

這架ET302航班上共有149名乘客和8名機組成員，原計劃從埃塞俄比亞首都亞的斯亞貝巴飛往肯尼亞首都內(nèi)羅畢。

The crash happened at 08:44 local time, six minutes after the months-old Boeing 737 Max-8 took off.

墜機事故發(fā)生在當?shù)貢r間上午8點44分，飛機起飛后僅6分鐘便墜毀。這架波音737 Max-8機型的飛機交付使用只有幾個月時間。

Another plane of the same model was involved in a crash less than five months ago, when a Lion Air flight crashed into the sea near Indonesia with nearly 190 people on board.

不到五個月前，同型號機型發(fā)生過另一起墜機事故。當時印尼獅航一架波音737 Max-8墜毀在印尼附近海域，機上有近190人。

墜機時發(fā)生了什么?

The cause of the disaster is not yet clear. However, the pilot had reported difficulties and had asked to return to Addis Ababa, the airline said.

事故原因尚不清楚。但埃航表示，飛行員起飛后曾報告遇到困難，要求返航。

"At this stage, we cannot rule out anything," Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde Gebremariam told reporters at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa.

埃航首席執(zhí)行官特沃多·格布勒瑪里亞姆在亞的斯亞貝巴博萊機場告訴記者說：“在目前階段，我們無法排除任何可能。”

"We cannot also attribute the cause to anything because we will have to comply with the international regulation to wait for the investigation."

“我們也不能追究任何原因，因為我們將遵守國際規(guī)范，靜待調(diào)查結(jié)果。”

Visibility was said to be good but air traffic monitor Flightradar24 reported that the plane's "vertical speed was unstable after take-off".

據(jù)說事發(fā)時機場能見度良好，但據(jù)航空監(jiān)測應(yīng)用Flightradar24表示，“飛機起飛后垂直速度不穩(wěn)”。

An eyewitness at the scene told the BBC there was an intense fire as the aircraft hit the ground.

一位目擊者告訴英國廣播公司說，墜機事故發(fā)生后，地上燃起大火。

"The blast and the fire were so strong that we couldn't get near it," he said. "Everything is burnt down."

他說：“爆炸和火勢非常猛烈，我們無法靠近，一切都燒毀了。”

The plane was delivered to Ethiopian Airlines on November 15 last year. It underwent a "rigorous first check maintenance" on February 4, the airline tweeted.

這架飛機于去年11月15日交付使用。埃航在推特中說，飛機在2月4日進行了“嚴格的首次維護”。
