Authorities have revealed that all five individuals who perished when an Amazon cargo aircraft overran the runway at Miami International Airport were aboard a van transporting aircraft cleaning personnel.

当局はアマゾンの貨物機がマイアミ国際空港の滑走路をオーバーランした際に死亡した5人全員が航空機の清掃員を輸送していたバンに搭乗していたことを明らかにした

The jet overran the runway upon landing on Sunday, collided with a van within the airport grounds, then tore through a fence and reached a city road, where it slammed into an SUV.

このジェット機は日曜日の着陸時に滑走路をオーバーランし空港敷地内でバンと衝突した後フェンスを突き破って市街地の道路にまで達しそこでSUVに激突した

Five other individuals sustained injuries.

他の5名が負傷した

The captain and the first officer have been discharged from the hospital, Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz announced on Tuesday.

機長副操縦士病院を退院したと、マイアミ・デイド郡保安官ロージー・コルデロ・シュトゥッツ氏火曜日に発表した

She stated that both remain in critical condition, while a third individual is in stable condition.

両名依然として危篤状態にあり3人目は容体が安定している述べた

The crushed white van, its front completely destroyed, and the SUV, so severely damaged as to be barely recognizable, remained abandoned at the crash site even by Tuesday.

押し潰された白いバン前面が完全に破壊されていた)とSUV損傷が甚だしくほぼ原形を留めない状態)は、火曜日になってもなお墜落現場に放置されたままであった

The jet lay with its nose lowered, and near the letter 'P' of 'Prime Air', traces of a substantial accumulation of soot were discernible.

ジェット機は機首を垂れた姿勢で横たわり「Prime Air」の「P」の文字付近には夥しい量の煤が堆積した痕跡が認められた

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is conducting an investigation into this crash.

国家運輸安全委員会(NTSB)この墜落事故の調査を進めている

One focal point of the inquiry has emerged: the lack of a system designed to decelerate and halt a jet traveling at excessive speed at the runway's end.

調査の焦点の一つとして、滑走路終端において過速度状態にあるジェット機を減速・停止させるためのシステムが未整備であるという問題が浮上している

Miami is not included on the list of 120 airports in the United States that are equipped with lightweight, frangible materials that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) credits with saving approximately 500 lives.

マイアミは連邦航空局(FAA)が約500人の命を救ったと評価する軽量かつ破砕性を有する素材を備えた米国内の120空港のリストには含まれていない

According to expert opinion, even without a runway overrun prevention system, Miami Airport appears to be deemed compliant with federal regulations, as it maintains a 1,000-foot (305-meter) safety buffer zone at the end of its runways.

専門家の見解によれば滑走路逸脱防止システム未設置であってもマイアミ空港は滑走路終端に1,000フィート(305メートル)の安全緩衝地帯を確保していることから連邦規則への適合性が認められるようだ

Jennifer Homendy, chair of the NTSB, noted that while the agency's objective is to prevent tragedies, runway excursion incidents have continued to occur even after it previously recommended the implementation of such systems.

NTSB委員長のジェニファー・ホメンディ氏は同庁の目標は悲劇を未然に防ぐことにあるとしつつも過去に当該システムの導入を勧告した後もなお、滑走路逸脱の事例が発生し続けている現状を指摘した。

She stated unequivocally at Monday's press conference that unless their recommendations were implemented, a similar incident would likely recur.

我々の勧告が実行に移されなければ、同様の事態が再発するであろう月曜日の記者会見において明言した

Investigators have recovered the flight data recorder and are currently scrutinizing the information it contains.

調査官らは飛行データレコーダーの回収を済ませ現在その情報の精査に当たっている

According to Mr. Homendi, interviews with the captain, the co-pilot, and air traffic controllers are scheduled to take place in the near future.

ホメンディ氏によれば機長副操縦士航空管制官らに対する事情聴取が今後予定されているという。

In a statement, Amazon expressed its full cooperation with the investigation and conveyed its heartfelt condolences to the victims and their families.

アマゾンは声明において調査への全面的な協力を表明するとともに被害者およびそのご家族に対し心からの哀悼の意を捧げると述べた。

The five deceased individuals were traveling in a van owned by Professional Ocean Services, an aircraft cleaning company.

死亡した5人は、航空機清掃会社であるプロフェッショナル・オーシャン・サービス社が所有するバンに乗車していた

The company stated that, out of respect for the bereaved families, it would refrain from making any comments regarding the crash.

同社は、遺族への敬意を表し今回の墜落事故に関して一切のコメントを控えるとの見解を示した

"Our employees are not merely colleagues; they are like family with whom we share our daily lives.

当社の従業員は単なる同僚ではなく日々を共にする家族のような存在です

They are enveloped in profound affection.

深い愛情に包まれています

We extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to all our employees and to every family whose lives have been irrevocably transformed," the company stated in a Tuesday announcement.

心からの哀悼と祈りを全従業員、そして人生が一変してしまった全ての家族に捧げます」と、同社は火曜日の声明で述べた

The Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office identified the victims as Rolando Alemán León, 55; Joel Rodríguez Naranjo, 53; Julio C. Pineda, 75; Carlos Acosta Fajardo, 53; and Javierkis Reyes Quevedo, 47.

マイアミ・デイド郡保安官事務所は犠牲者をロランド・アレマン・レオン(55歳)ヨエル・ロドリゲス・ナランホ(53歳)フリオ・C・ピネダ(75歳)カルロス・アコスタ・ファハルド(53歳)、ハビエルキス・レジェス・ケベド(47歳)として特定した

The Amazon jet, after a two-hour flight from Puerto Rico, was forced to land while a storm raged around Miami airport.

アマゾンのジェット機は、プエルトリコから2時間の飛行を経てマイアミ空港周辺が猛威を振るう中、着陸を余儀なくされた

The NTSB disclosed that the aircraft in question had overshot the runway's end by approximately 1,300 feet (396 meters).

NTSBは当該航空機が滑走路終端を約1,300フィート(396メートル)超過して走行した旨を公表した

Homendy described the scene as "complete devastation," noting that vehicle debris, airbags, destroyed navigation equipment, and fencing were scattered along the aircraft's path.

ホメンディ氏は現場を「完全な荒廃」と表現し、車両の残骸エアバッグ破壊された航法装置フェンスが航空機の進路に散乱していたと指摘した

She stated that jet fuel remained in the vicinity even 24 hours after the crash, which necessitated extreme caution.

墜落から24時間が経過してもジェット燃料が周囲に残留しておりそのため細心の注意が求められたと述べた

Strong winds exceeding 25 knots were reported on Sunday afternoon.

日曜日の午後には25ノットを超える強風が報告された

Experts who scrutinized the landing footage pointed out that a powerful tailwind likely propelled the aircraft along the runway, carrying it well beyond the intended touchdown point.

着陸の映像を精査した専門家は強い追い風が機体を滑走路に沿って着陸予定地点をはるかに越えるまで押し進めた可能性が高いと指摘した

The aircraft maintained its nose-up attitude, remaining airborne without ever bringing its wheels into contact with the ground.

機体は機首を上げた状態を保ち車輪を接地させることなく空中に留まり続けた

The reason why the pilot aborted the landing and did not attempt another approach was not immediately apparent.

パイロットが着陸を中断し再試行しなかった理由は直ちには明らかになっていない。

Nor had the air traffic controllers altered the approach path to facilitate a landing under headwind conditions.

航空管制官もまた向かい風条件下での着陸を可能にするべく進入経路を変更してはいなかった

When a shift in wind direction occurs, airports typically reverse the entire landing approach orientation for aircraft.

風向きに変化が生じた場合空港は通常航空機の着陸進入方向を全面的に転換するものである。

The flight was operated by 21 Air, a cargo airline based in North Carolina.

この便はノースカロライナ州を拠点とする貨物航空会社21エア運航していた

According to the flight-tracking website FlightRadar24, the 32-year-old Boeing 767 was originally built for passenger service, operated by several overseas airlines for over two decades, and then converted into a freighter in 2015.

航空追跡サイトのフライトレーダー24によると機齢32年のボーイング767は、当初旅客用として製造され、20年以上にわたり海外の複数の航空会社で運航された後2015年に貨物機へと改造されたという。

Mr. Homendy stated that two of Miami Airport's four runways remained closed on Tuesday and would not reopen until NTSB investigators had finished gathering all necessary information from the crash site.

マイアミ空港の4本の滑走路のうち2本は火曜日もなお閉鎖されたままでありNTSBの調査官らが墜落現場から必要な情報をすべて収集し終えるまで再開されることはないとホメンディ氏は言明した

According to official statements, over the weekend spanning Sunday and Monday, more than 225 flights were canceled, and delays affecting several hundred more were recorded.

当局の発表によれば週末の日曜日と月曜日にわたり実に225便以上の欠航が生じ、さらに数百便に及ぶ遅延が記録された。

Mr. Homendy stated that the NTSB intends to return the runway to the airport authorities as swiftly as possible, once its investigators have completed documenting the scene.

ホメンディ氏はNTSBが調査官による現場の記録を完了次第、可能な限り迅速に滑走路を空港当局へ返還するよう努める方針である述べた

Owing to an error in a news release issued by the Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office, an earlier version of this article misspelled the surname of the victim, Joel Rodriguez Naranjo.

マイアミ・デイド郡保安官事務所が発表したニュースリリースに誤りがあったため本記事の以前の版では犠牲者であるヨエル・ロドリゲス・ナランホの姓の綴りを誤って記載していた。
