第七章 造成飛機(jī)失事的民族理論

"CAPTAIN, THE WEATHER RADAR HAS HELPED US A LOT"

“機(jī)長(zhǎng)，氣象雷達(dá)為我們提供了很大幫助。”

On the morning of August 5, 1997, the captain of Korean Air flight 801 woke at 6 a.m..

時(shí)間回溯到1997年8月5日的早晨，大韓航空公司801航班的機(jī)長(zhǎng)6點(diǎn)鐘從睡夢(mèng)中醒來(lái)。

His family would later tell investigators that he went to the gym for an hour, then came home and studied the flight plan for that evening's journey to Guam.

后來(lái)，他的家人告訴調(diào)查人員，他在健身中心鍛煉一個(gè)小時(shí)后，回到家里，研究那晚飛往關(guān)島的飛行計(jì)劃。

He napped and ate lunch.

之后，他稍做休息，并吃了午餐。

At three in the afternoon, he left for Seoul, departing early enough, his wife said, to continue his preparations at Kimpo International Airport.

據(jù)他的太太講，下午3點(diǎn)，他就提前啟程離開(kāi)了首爾，前往金浦國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)，繼續(xù)為晚上的行程做準(zhǔn)備工作。

He had been a pilot with Korean Air for almost four years after coming over from the Korean Air Force.

在從韓國(guó)空軍退役之后，他已經(jīng)在大韓航空公司飛行了4年，

He had eighty-nine hundred hours of flight time, including thirty-two hundred hours of experience in jumbo jets.

有著8900個(gè)小時(shí)的飛行經(jīng)驗(yàn)，其中包括3200個(gè)小時(shí)噴氣式客機(jī)的飛行經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

A few months earlier, he had been given a flight safety award by his airline for successfully handling a jumbo-jet engine failure at low altitude.

幾個(gè)月以前，由于成功地控制了一架在低空飛行中引擎失靈的大型噴氣式客機(jī)，他被授予安全飛行獎(jiǎng)?wù)隆?/p>

He was forty-two years old and in excellent health.

他42歲且身體健康。

At 7 p.m., the captain, his first officer, and the flight engineer met and collected the trip's paper work.

晚上7點(diǎn)，機(jī)長(zhǎng)同副駕以及飛行工程師見(jiàn)面并準(zhǔn)備了飛行文件。

They would be flying a Boeing 747, a model known in the aviation world as the "classic."

他們即將駕駛航空史上聞名遐邇的“經(jīng)典之作”——一架波音747。

The aircraft was in perfect working order.

該飛機(jī)的各個(gè)部件運(yùn)作良好且適于飛行，

It had once been the Korean presidential plane.

并曾一度作為韓國(guó)總統(tǒng)的專(zhuān)機(jī)。

Flight 801 departed the gate at ten thirty in the evening, and was airborne twenty minutes later.

晚上10點(diǎn)30分，801航班離開(kāi)登機(jī)口，20分鐘后開(kāi)始了它的旅程，

Takeoff was without incident.

起飛一切正常。

Just before one-thirty in the morning, the plane broke out the clouds and the flight crew glimpsed lights off in the distance.

就在凌晨1點(diǎn)30分，飛機(jī)沖出云層，飛機(jī)上的空乘人員瞥了一眼來(lái)自外面的燈光。
