Investigators provided a dramatic detailed account Saturday of the ill-fated US Airways flight that crash-landed in the Hudson River, with the pilot telling controllers just moments after takeoff, "We're gonna be in the Hudson."
"We hit birds. We lost thrust in both engines," the pilot said. "We're turning back toward LaGuardia."
Less than a minute later, the pilot told the tower that he was unable to turn around and that they were going to end up in the river.
The account was provided by National Transportation Safety Board member Kitty Higgins, who gave a minute-by-minute timeline of the flight. Investigators also interviewed the pilots, but the details of the discussion was not immediately clear.
驾驶员的这些话语,是根据什么复原的呢?没有明确介绍。是根据塔台录音记录仪?根据飞机飞行话音记录仪?根据驾驶员的回忆?还是根据管制员的回忆?还是综合的结果?
驾驶员说双发均出问题,得到飞机飞行数据记录仪的印证没有?右发检查了没有,是否有问题,有什么问题,以及造成问题的原因,仍有待调查。
不管怎样,NTSB的这个介绍,有助于公众了解事实经过。
