當(dāng)?shù)貢r(shí)間8月2日下午,一架法國航空公司的空客A-340飛機(jī)在加拿大多倫多國際機(jī)場降落的時(shí)候滑出跑道,隨后爆炸起火。萬幸的是,機(jī)上的309名乘客和機(jī)組人員全部生還,只有20多人受輕傷。外電報(bào)道如下:An Air France jetliner attempting to land at Toronto's Pearson International Airport overran a runway, smashed into a gully and burst into flames Tuesday afternoon.
All 297 passengers and 12 crew members survived the crash, Canadian authorities and the airline said.
Hospitals treated 24 people for minor injuries, said Steve Shaw, chairman of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
Jetliner意為“大型的噴氣式客機(jī)”,jet本身就有“噴氣式飛機(jī);噴氣式發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)”的含義,相關(guān)的詞組還有jet-burner(噴燈,噴嘴燃燒器);jet-fighter(噴氣式戰(zhàn)斗機(jī));jet-prop(裝有渦輪螺旋漿引擎的);jet-rotor(直升機(jī)的噴射旋轉(zhuǎn)翼)等。
據(jù)悉,飛機(jī)降落前,多倫多地區(qū)電閃雷鳴,風(fēng)雨大作,機(jī)場內(nèi)各種地面作業(yè)活動(dòng)都暫時(shí)終止,但機(jī)場跑道狀況良好。
