Windshield Shatters on Plane in China, Pulling Pilot Partly Through Window
四川航空因副駕駛半邊身體被吸出窗外而緊急迫降
A Sichuan Airlines plane heading for Tibet made an emergency landing on Monday after its windshield shattered and a co-pilot was partially sucked out of the cockpit, the local news media reported.
據中國在地新聞媒體報導，週一時，四川航空公司一架飛往圖博的飛機在擋風玻璃破裂後緊急降落，且副駕駛有部分的身體被吸出駕駛艙外。
Flight 8633 left the southwestern metropolis of Chongqing at 6:26 a.m. and was scheduled to land at 9:05 a.m. in the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, around 1,500 miles west, according to the flight tracking website FlightView.com.
根據航班追蹤網站FlightView.com所示，8633號航班原本於上午6點26分離開中國西南部大都市重慶，並計畫於早上9點05分降落在重慶以西1500英里（大約2410公里）的圖博首都拉薩。
But the windshield later “shattered with a loud sound” the pilot, Liu Chuanjian, said in a video posted by the news outlet Chengdu Business News. “When I looked over to my side, half of my co-pilot’s body was hanging out of the window.
不過擋風玻璃隨後「爆裂且發出巨大的聲響，」機長劉傳健在新聞媒體《成都商報》張貼的一段影片中說。「我往旁邊看時，副機長（的身體）已經飛出去一半，半邊身體在窗外懸掛。」
“Fortunately, he was wearing a seatbelt,” Mr. Liu said.
「還好，他有綁安全帶。」劉傳建表示。
The plane made an emergency landing at 7:42 a.m. in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu.
飛機於上午7點42分在中國西南部的成都市緊急迫降。
Later on Monday, Sichuan Airlines said in a post on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like microblogging platform, that 29 of the plane’s 119 passengers were sent to a hospital for examination. One cabin crew member was being treated for a waist injury and the first officer suffered scratches, but the remaining passengers were discharged, the post said.
週一稍晚，四川航空在新浪微博上發文指出，機上的119名乘客中有29名被送往醫院進行檢查。文章中寫道，一名機組人員腰部受傷，正在接受治療。副機長皮膚擦傷。但其餘乘客都已出院。
Many Chinese social media users lauded the pilots as heroes and encouraged the airline to reward them.
中國許多社群媒體使用者讚揚駕駛們是英雄，並鼓勵航空公司應該給他們獎勵。
“Sichuan pilot, you rule!” one wrote.
「四川航空的機長，你超狂的！」有人寫道。
“Give the pilot a raise!” another user commented below the Sichuan Airlines’ post. “Give the first officer a paid vacation!”
「該給機長加薪！」另一位網友在四川航空公司的文章下評論。「也給副機長放有薪假！」
The pilot’s deft handling of the incident draw praise for the company. “If I have the chance, I will definitely take this airline,” one commenter wrote.
機長對事故的俐落處理也使公司得到了稱讚。「有機會一定要搭乘一次四川航空。」一位評論者這麼表示。
Others remained skeptical of the airline’s portrayal of the incident. “The pilot is indeed awesome, but why is this the only thing broadcasted?” one user asked. “This clearly is Sichuan Airlines’ accident. Sichuan Airlines’ public relations team is quite clever at crisis management.”
另一些人懷疑航空公司對本次事故的描述。「機長是很狂，可為什麼只單單宣揚這個？」一位網友問道。「這明明是四川航空的事故啊，他們的公關處理滿有才的啊。」
China’s aviation institutions are known to be especially risk-averse. Flights at major Chinese airports, for example, are typically spaced farther apart than they would be in Europe or the United States to minimize the chances of an accident — a precaution that increases flight delays.
中國的航空機構向來特別注重風險迴避。例如在中國的主要機場，航班間隔通常比歐洲或美國大，以減少事故發生的可能—也因這樣的預防措施增加了航班的延誤。
The Sichuan Airlines incident is at least the world’s second broken-window incident of the year aboard a commercial plane.
四川航空事件至少是今年全球第二起商用飛機窗戶破裂事件。
In April, when an engine exploded in midair on a Southwest Airlines flight from New York to Dallas, a gust of shrapnel blew out a window in the cabin and partially sucked a 43-year-old woman headfirst into the sky.
四月，從紐約飛往達拉斯的西南航空(Southwest Airlines)班機在半空中發生引擎爆炸，碎片擊破了一扇窗戶，將一名43歲女子以頭部朝向前方的方式把她一部分身體吸到了機艙外。
She was dragged back into the plane but later pronounced dead from what medical examiners called blunt trauma to her head, neck and torso. Seven others on that flight suffered minor injuries.
她被拉回了機艙，但後來被宣告死亡。醫療檢驗人員稱她是因頭部、頸部和身體受到鈍挫傷。班機上另有七人受了輕傷。
