美客機(jī)失事49亡 疑用錯(cuò)跑道
[ 2006-08-28 09:00 ]

8月27日凌晨,一架CRJ-100型客機(jī)在列克星敦市機(jī)場(chǎng)墜毀,造成49人死亡。據(jù)悉,該客機(jī)上有47名乘客與3名機(jī)組人員,事故發(fā)生后,僅有1名副駕駛員幸存。初步調(diào)查顯示,肯塔基州列克星敦市機(jī)場(chǎng)客機(jī)墜毀事件疑與駕駛員用錯(cuò)跑道有關(guān),駕駛員似乎錯(cuò)誤地使用了一條短距離的跑道,導(dǎo)致飛機(jī)根本沒(méi)有升入空中就墜毀,并且發(fā)生了大火,火災(zāi)成了機(jī)上人員喪命的主要原因。

A Comair jet crashed and burned in a Kentucky horse pasture on Sunday after a failed takeoff, killing all but one of the 50 people aboard, authorities said.

Flight 5191, a Canadair CRJ-100 bound for Atlanta, apparently used the wrong runway at Blue Grass Airport, one that was much shorter and not meant to handle commercial flights, an aviation source said.

Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and officials of Comair, a unit of bankrupt Delta Air Lines, declined to discuss a suspected cause.

There was no indication terrorism was involved, a Transportation Security Administration official said. Commercial aviation has been on heightened alert in recent weeks after authorities in London said they broke up a plot to bomb U.S.-bound trans-Atlantic flights.

Comair Flight 5191 was the third of a dozen early morning takeoffs scheduled at Lexington. The two previous planes used the longer runway without incident, the aviation source said.

The airport's two runways -- one 3,400 feet (1 km) long, the other 7,000 feet (2.1 km) -- intersect, and the pilots of the jet made by Montreal-based Bombardier Inc. had been cleared to use the longer of the two.

There are indications the ill-fated plane never got airborne and crashed through a fence before coming to rest in a field, the source said.

The plane exploded into flames, which likely caused most of the deaths, Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn said. "It was horrible to see an airplane sitting in a field in an unnatural setting," he said.

Forty-nine of the 50 people aboard were killed. One of the two pilots, first officer James Polehinke, was pulled alive from the wreckage by three police officers. The survivor was in critical condition, a University of Kentucky Hospital spokesman said.

Lexington is the center of Kentucky's famed horse breeding industry, and the area is dotted with pristine farms surrounded by bright white wooden fences. The nearby Keeneland Race Course was the site of several news briefings.
