Investigators are still striving to ascertain what precisely caused an Amazon cargo jet to veer off the runway in Miami, collide with two vehicles, and result in the tragic deaths of five people on the ground.

调查人员仍在竭力查明究竟是何原因致使一架亚马逊货运喷气式飞机在迈阿密冲出跑道撞上两辆汽车酿成地面五人罹难的惨剧

The Boeing 767 collided with a van within Miami International Airport on Sunday, subsequently crashing through a fence and striking an SUV on a public road.

Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, described the airport crash site as nothing short of "devastating."

美国国家运输安全委员会主席詹妮弗·霍门迪形容机场事故现场堪称满目疮痍”。

The crash forced Miami International Airport to shut down for several hours on Sunday, and by Tuesday evening two of its four runways remained closed to allow National Transportation Safety Board investigators to gather evidence.

这起坠机事故致使迈阿密机场周日关闭数小时截至周二晚间四条跑道中仍有两条处于关闭状态以便国家运输安全委员会调查人员搜集证据

Officials reported that over 225 flights had been cancelled, with hundreds more experiencing delays.

官员表示逾225个航班被取消另有数百个航班遭遇延误

The following are the key details regarding this crash that the public urgently needs to be aware of.

以下关于此次坠机事件公众亟需了解关键信息

The National Transportation Safety Board clarified that the aircraft overran the end of the runway by approximately 1,300 feet (about 396 meters).

美国国家运输安全委员会阐明该架飞机冲出跑道尽头约1300英尺(约合396米)

The aircraft touched down two hours after departing from Puerto Rico, at a time when severe thunderstorms were raging around Miami International Airport.

飞机自波多黎各起飞两小时后降落彼时迈阿密机场周边正值暴风雨肆虐。

Hormendi described the scene as "utter devastation," with debris from vehicles, airbags, destroyed navigation equipment, and fencing scattered along the way.

She noted that even 24 hours after the crash, the pungent odor of jet fuel lingered in the air, compelling her to proceed with extreme caution at every step.

表示坠机24小时后周围仍弥漫着喷气燃料的气味,她不得不步步为营谨慎行事

Winds exceeding 25 knots were reported on Sunday afternoon, with the strong gusts proving particularly pronounced.

周日下午报告风力超过25节强风显著

Experts reviewing the landing footage noted that the powerful tailwind appeared to have carried the aircraft well beyond its intended touchdown point, preventing it from levelling off in the air and keeping its wheels from making contact with the runway.

审阅着陆视频的专家指出强劲的顺风似乎将飞机推离预定着陆点甚远,飞机在空中未能拉平机头轮子亦未能触及跑道

It remains unclear why the pilot did not abort the landing and attempt a go-around.

尚不清楚飞行员缘何未中止着陆尝试复飞

Nor did the air traffic controllers adjust the approach procedures, thereby allowing the aircraft to land into the wind.

空中交通管制员亦未调整进近程序致使飞机得以逆风着陆

Under normal circumstances, airports adjust the direction of aircraft landings in response to shifts in wind direction.

通常情况下机场在风向发生变化时相应调整飞机的着陆方向。

In its statement, Amazon noted that it is fully cooperating with the relevant investigations and extends its deepest condolences and sympathies to the victims and their families.

亚马逊在声明中指出其正全力配合相关调查并向遇难者及其家属致以最深切的哀悼与慰问

All five victims were travelling in a van belonging to Professional Ocean Service Corp, a company specialising in aircraft cleaning operations.

五名遇难者乘坐于Professional Ocean Service Corp公司的一辆面包车中,该公司专责飞机清洁事务

The company has stated that, out of profound respect for the families of the deceased, it will refrain from making any comments regarding the crash.

公司方面表示出于罹难者家属的深切尊重此次坠机事件发表任何评论

"Our employees are not merely colleagues who work alongside us each day; they are family, cherished loved ones held in the highest regard.

我们的员工不仅仅是每日与我们并肩奋斗的同事他们是家人是深受珍视的至亲

Our hearts and prayers are with every employee and their families, whose lives have been irrevocably altered."

我们的心与祈愿与每一位员工及其家庭同在,他们的生活已遭永久改变。”

Such was the sentiment expressed in a statement released by the company on Tuesday.

该公司于周二发布的一份声明如此表示

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

迈阿密-戴德县警长办公室已确认罹难者身份55岁的罗兰多·阿莱曼·莱昂53岁的约尔·罗德里格斯·纳兰霍75岁的胡里奥·C·皮内达53岁的卡洛斯·阿科斯塔·法哈多,以及47岁的哈维尔基斯·雷耶斯·克韦多

According to data provided by the flight tracking platform Flightradar24, this Boeing 767 rolled off the production line in 1991, was initially designed to passenger specifications, served with several overseas airlines for over two decades, and was only converted into a freighter in 2015.

根据航班追踪平台Flightradar24所提供的数据这架波音767于1991年出厂最初按客运规格设计曾在海外多家航空公司服役逾二十年,直至2015年方被改装为货机

The flight mission was carried out by 21 Air, a cargo airline headquartered in North Carolina.

此次飞行任务总部设于北卡罗来纳州21 Air货运航空公司负责执行

Homendy noted that the aircraft's ownership history, maintenance records, and the operational status of 21 Air would all fall within the scope of scrutiny by investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board.

霍门迪指出飞机的所有权沿革维护档案以及21 Air的运营状况均将纳入国家运输安全委员会调查人员的审查范畴

This marks the second cargo plane crash to occur in the United States within less than a year.

这已是美国在不到一年内发生的第二起货机坠毁事故

In October of last year, a UPS cargo aircraft, while accelerating down the runway at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport, suffered an engine detachment that caused the fuselage to crash, tragically claiming the lives of three pilots on board and twelve individuals on the ground, with an additional twenty-three people sustaining injuries.

去年十月一架UPS货机在路易斯维尔穆罕默德·阿里国际机场跑道加速滑行时发动机脱落导致机身坠毁机上三名飞行员与地面十二人不幸罹难另有二十三人受伤

A central issue under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board will be the absence, at the far end of the runway, of a system capable of decelerating and halting an aircraft traveling at high speed.

国家运输安全委员会调查的一个核心问题将是机场跑道尽头缺少能让高速滑行的飞机减速并停下的系统。

Approximately 120 airports across the United States have been equipped with lightweight, crushable materials, which the Federal Aviation Administration claims have saved around 500 lives.

美国约有120个机场已配备轻质且可压碎的材料美国联邦航空管理局宣称这些材料已挽救了约500人的生命

However, Miami International Airport has not been fitted with such materials.

然而迈阿密机场未配备此类材料

Experts point out that even though Miami airport lacks a runway overrun protection system, the presence of a 1,000-foot (305-meter) safety buffer at the end of its runways appears to be sufficient to meet federal regulatory requirements.

专家指出即便迈阿密机场未配备冲出跑道防护系统跑道尽头设有1000英尺(305米)安全缓冲区,这一配置似乎已足以满足联邦规范的要求

Hormendi pointed out that the core mission of her agency lies in preempting hazards before they materialize; nevertheless, despite the committee's repeated prior recommendations to install such systems, incidents of aircraft overrunning runways have continued to occur with alarming frequency.

霍门迪指出她所在机构核心使命在于防患于未然然而即便委员会此前已屡次提议安装此类系统飞机冲出跑道险情却依旧层出不穷

"Our proposals must be put into action, or we will find ourselves in this predicament once more."

我们的提议必须付诸实施否则我们再度陷入此等境地。”

She remarked.
