飞机失踪的几大猜想

飞机在飞行中出事的原因可能有——>

1. Catastrophic structural failure

This could have damaged the airframe or engines. Given the plane's impressive safety record, experts suggest this is unlikely.

灾难性的飞机结构损伤

结构损伤有可能破坏了机身或引擎。但考虑到这一飞机机型良好的安全记录，专家们认为这一原因可能不符合。

2. Bad weather

Planes are designed to fly though most severe storms, but poor weather has caused crashes in the past. However, the skies were clear in this case.

坏天气

虽说飞机可以在大多数恶劣的暴风雨中飞行，但过去的确发生过飞机因坏天气坠毁的案例。但在这次事故中，天空是晴朗的。

3. Pilot disorientation

The pilots could have taken the plane off autopilot and somehow gone off course.

飞行员迷失方向

飞行员可能关掉了自动飞行仪，然后偏离了航向。

4. Failure of both engines

In January 2008, a British Airways 777 crashed about 1,000 feet short of the runway at London's Heathrow Airport. There were no fatalities. Such a scenario is possible, but the plane could glide for up to 20 minutes, giving pilots plenty of time to make an emergency call.

双引擎故障

2008年1月，英国航空一架波音777飞机在距伦敦希思罗机场跑道不足1000英尺处坠落，没有人员伤亡。这次事故也有这种可能性，但飞机最多可以滑行20分钟，飞行员应该有足够时间去打紧急救援电话。

5. A bomb

Several planes have been brought down by bombs. If the debris field is large it will indicate the plane broke apart high up.

爆炸

曾有多架飞机因为爆炸而坠毁。如果残骸散布的范围很大，表明飞机在空中的较高位置就爆炸了。

6. Hijacking

A traditional hijacking seems unlikely given that a plane's captors typically land at an airport and have some type of demand. But a 9/11-esque hijacking is possible, with terrorists forcing the plane into the ocean.

劫机

这次事故不太像传统的劫机，因为传统的劫机一般都会在某个机场迫降，且劫机的人会提出某种要求。但类似911式的劫机还是有可能的，比如恐怖分子强迫飞机坠入大海。

7. Pilot suicide

There were two large jet crashes in the late 1990s that investigators suspected were caused by pilots deliberately crashing.

飞行员的自杀性行为

调查员怀疑，1990年代后期有2次大型飞机坠毁是因为飞行员故意坠落飞机。

8. Accidental shoot-down

There have been two previous cases of passenger jets being brought down accidentally by the military.

被意外击落

此前也有2例客机被军方意外击落的案例。
