济州航空客机在韩国务安机场坠毁:179人遇难、2名机组人员生还

韩国全罗南道务安郡的务安国际机场12月29日发生韩国本土最严重的空难。济州航空7C2216航班当天从泰国曼谷素万那普机场飞抵务安,机上共181人,包括175名乘客与6名机组人员。
韩国国土交通部在简报中说,机场塔台上午8时54分向该航班发出鸟击警告,机组8时59分宣布紧急状态(Mayday),9时03分在起落架未放下的情况下以机腹着陆,冲出跑道后撞上跑道末端的定位台土堤并起火爆炸。搜救当局当晚确认,机上179人遇难,仅坐在机尾区域的两名乘务员获救送医。这架波音737-800于2009年制造。两部飞行记录仪(黑匣子)均已寻获。
事故发生后,务安机场全部航班取消。代总统崔相穆赶赴现场并下令各机构全力搜救,韩国宣布12月29日至1月4日为全国哀悼期。济州航空首席执行官金利培(Kim E-bae)在记者会上鞠躬致歉,称对事故负全责,并表示该机没有事故记录、例行检查未发现机械问题,将等待政府调查结果。
按国际民航规则,事故调查由韩国航空铁路事故调查委员会主导,飞机制造国美国的国家运输安全委员会、联邦航空管理局与制造商波音公司参与协助。事故具体原因有待官方调查结论,本稿不就鸟击与起落架故障之间的关系作推断。
Jeju Air Jet Crashes at South Korea's Muan Airport: 179 Killed, Two Crew Survive
South Korea's deadliest air disaster on its own soil occurred on December 29 at Muan International Airport in Muan County, South Jeolla Province. Jeju Air flight 7C2216 arrived from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand with 181 people on board: 175 passengers and six crew members.
South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said in briefings that the control tower issued a bird strike warning to the flight at 8:54 a.m., the crew declared a mayday at 8:59 a.m., and the aircraft belly-landed at 9:03 a.m. without its landing gear deployed, overran the runway and struck the localizer embankment at the runway's end, bursting into flames. Rescue authorities confirmed that evening that 179 people on board were killed and that only two flight attendants, seated in the tail section, survived and were taken to hospital. The Boeing 737-800 was manufactured in 2009. Both flight recorders were recovered.
All flights at Muan airport were canceled after the crash. Acting President Choi Sang-mok went to the scene, ordered all-out rescue efforts, and South Korea declared a national mourning period from December 29 to January 4. Jeju Air chief executive Kim E-bae bowed in apology at a press conference, said he took full responsibility, noted the aircraft had no record of accidents and no mechanical problems found in regular checks, and said the airline would await the government's investigation.
Under international aviation rules, the investigation is led by South Korea's Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board, with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board, the Federal Aviation Administration and the manufacturer, Boeing, assisting as the state of design and manufacture. The cause of the crash remains subject to the official investigation; this story draws no conclusions about the relationship between the reported bird strike and the landing gear.
