Investigators are making every effort to ascertain precisely what factors caused an Amazon cargo aircraft to veer off the runway in Miami, colliding with two vehicles and resulting in the tragic deaths of five individuals on the ground.

調查人員正竭力查明究竟是何種因素致使一架亞馬遜貨機於邁阿密衝出跑道撞及兩輛汽車釀成地面五人罹難的慘劇

The Boeing 767 collided with a van in the industrial area of Miami International Airport on Sunday, then crashed through a fence before striking an SUV on a public street.

這架波音767客機於週日在邁阿密國際機場的產業區內與一輛廂型車發生碰撞隨後衝破圍籬撞上公共街道上的一輛SUV

Five members of the cleaning crew inside the van tragically lost their lives, while two others survived; the captain and first officer, meanwhile, emerged unscathed.

廂型車內隸屬清洗團隊的五名成員不幸罹難另有兩人倖存機長與副機長安然無恙

Jennifer Homendy, chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), described the scene at the airport as one of "utter devastation."

國家運輸安全委員會(NTSB)主席珍妮佛·霍曼迪形容機場現場已達「徹底毀滅」之境

The incident forced Miami International Airport to shut down for several hours on Sunday, and as of late Tuesday night, two of its four runways remained out of service to allow investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) to gather pertinent evidence.

此事件導致邁阿密機場於週日被迫關閉數小時之久截至週二深夜四條跑道中仍有兩條維持停用狀態以便國家運輸安全委員會(NTSB)的調查人員得以蒐集相關證據

According to officials, over 225 flights have been cancelled, with hundreds more experiencing delays.

據官員表示已有超過225個航班遭到取消另有數百個航班出現延誤情形

The following is the information compiled thus far regarding the incident.

以下迄今為止就該事故所彙整的相關資訊

The NTSB stated that the aircraft overran the runway end by approximately 1,300 feet (396 meters), a distance equivalent to the length of four American football fields, underscoring the immense kinetic energy the aircraft possessed at the time of the incident.

NTSB表示飛機衝出跑道末端約1300英尺(396公尺)此距離相當於四個美式足球場的長度凸顯了事故發生時飛機所具備的動能之巨大

At that moment, the flight, having completed a two-hour journey from Puerto Rico, was on the verge of landing, while the skies around Miami International Airport had already grown turbulent, with a thunderstorm looming on the horizon.

當時班機自波多黎各起飛歷經兩小時航程正準備降落之際邁阿密機場周邊已然風起雲湧一場暴風雨正蓄勢待發

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

霍曼迪形容現場徹底毀滅」,沿途散落著車輛碎片安全氣囊受損的導航設備圍籬

She noted that even 24 hours after the incident, a substantial amount of aviation fuel remained at the site, compelling her to tread with extreme caution and deliberate care.

表示事發24小時後現場殘留大量航空燃油迫使不得不謹慎行走步步為營

The Sunday afternoon report indicated that wind speeds had exceeded twenty-five knots.

週日下午的通報指出風速已超過二十五節

Experts reviewing the landing footage concluded that a powerful tailwind appeared to have pushed the aircraft beyond its intended touchdown point, causing it to travel a considerable distance along the runway.

觀看降落畫面的專家研判一股強勁的順風似乎將飛機推離預定降落點使其沿跑道滑行出相當長的距離

The aircraft remained airborne throughout, without ever levelling off to allow the tyres to make contact with the ground.

飛機始終維持在空中並未拉平機頭讓輪胎觸地

It remains unclear why the pilot did not abandon the landing procedure and execute a go-around.

目前尚不清楚為何飛行員未放棄降落程序執行重飛

Nor did the control tower adjust the runway approach direction, which would have enabled the aircraft to land into the wind.

塔台亦未調整跑道進場方向使飛機得以逆風降落

When wind conditions shift, airports typically alter the direction in which aircraft land on the runway.

機場在風向改變時通常調整飛機在跑道上的降落方向。

In its statement, Amazon indicated that it is currently cooperating fully with the relevant investigations and extending its most sincere condolences to the victims and their families.

亞馬遜於聲明中指出目前正全力配合相關調查工作,向罹難者及其家屬致上最誠摯的哀悼之意

All five victims were inside a van owned by Professional Ocean Service Corp., a company specializing in aircraft cleaning operations.

五名罹難者位於Professional Ocean Service Corp.公司名下廂型車內,該公司專責飛機清洗作業

The company stated that, out of respect for the families who have lost their loved ones, it would refrain from making any comments regarding this incident.

公司方面表示基於痛失親屬之家屬尊重不對此事故發表任何評論

"Our employees are not merely colleagues who work side by side each day; they are family, cherished and valued."

我們的員工不只是每天並肩工作的同事他們更是家人,是備受珍惜的

Our hearts and prayers go out to every employee and to every family whose lives have been irrevocably altered by this tragedy," the company stated on Tuesday.

我們的心與祈禱與每一位員工,以及每一個生活因此被永遠改變的家庭同在。」該公司於週二聲明表示

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

邁阿密戴德郡警長已確認罹難者身分,分別為55歲的羅蘭多·阿萊曼·萊昂53歲的約爾·羅德里格斯·纳兰霍75歲的胡里奧·C·皮內達、53歲的卡洛斯·阿科斯塔·法哈多,以及47歲的哈維爾基斯·雷耶斯·克維多

According to data from the flight tracking platform Flightradar24, this Boeing 767, with a service life of 32 years, had been operated by multiple airlines across various countries for over two decades before being converted into a cargo aircraft in 2015.

根據航班追蹤平台Flightradar24的資料這架機齡達32年波音767客機輾轉服務於多國多家航空公司逾二十載直至2015年改裝為貨機

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

最後一趟飛行總部位於北卡羅來納州貨運航空公司21 Air負責營運

Homendy stated that investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board would conduct a thorough review of the aircraft's chain of ownership, maintenance records, and the operational practices of 21 Air.

霍曼迪表示國家運輸安全委員會的調查人員將徹底審查該飛機歷任所有權記錄維修檔案以及21航空的運營情況

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

這是美國在不到一年內所發生的第二起貨機失事事件

In October of last year, a UPS cargo plane lost engine power while accelerating for takeoff at Louisville's Muhammad Ali International Airport and crashed, resulting in the tragic deaths of three pilots and twelve people on the ground, with an additional twenty-three individuals sustaining injuries.

去年十月一架UPS貨機於路易斯維爾的穆罕默德·阿里國際機場在加速起飛之際喪失引擎動力而墜毀釀成三名飛行員地面十二人罹難另有二十三人受傷的慘劇

One of the central focuses of the NTSB investigation is the absence, at the far end of the runway, of a system capable of decelerating an over-speed aircraft and bringing it to a complete halt.

NTSB調查的核心焦點之一在於機場跑道末端缺乏能讓超速航機減速完全停駐的系統

Approximately 120 airports across the United States are equipped with lightweight, crushable arresting materials, which, according to the Federal Aviation Administration, have saved around 500 lives; however, such systems are conspicuously absent in Miami.

美國約有120座機場配備了輕量且可壓碎的攔截材料,聯邦航空管理局表示,這些設施已拯救了大約500條人命;然而,邁阿密卻未見此類裝置。

Experts point out that even without a runway overrun interception system, Miami airport appears to remain in compliance with federal regulations, as its runway ends are equipped with a 1,000-foot (305-meter) safety buffer zone.

專家指出即便缺乏跑道偏移攔截系統邁阿密機場似乎仍舊合乎聯邦規範因其跑道末端設有1000英尺(305公尺)安全緩衝區

Homendy stated that his agency aims to prevent incidents before they occur, yet despite the committee having previously recommended the installation of such systems, runway excursion events have continued to happen.

霍曼迪表示其機構旨在防患於未然但即便委員會過去曾建議安裝此類系統跑道偏移事件仍持續發生

"Our recommendations must be put into practice, otherwise we are bound to repeat the same mistakes and find ourselves facing the same predicament once again," she stated.

我們的建議必須付諸實行否則我們勢必將重蹈覆轍再度面臨相同的困境。」如是說
