(여행) 항공 사고 일촉즉발

 

Welcome to World News. Tonight, plane puzzling. What really happened in the cockpit as that plane overshot지나치다 Minneapolis? One of the pilots talks. From ABC News headquarters, this is World News with Charles Gibson reporting tonight George Stephanopoulos. Good evening. We were not asleep. In an exclusive interview, that’s what one of the pilots of that wayward정도에서 벗어난 말을 안듣는 northwest airlines flight from San Diego to Minneapolis told us today.

 

But if they weren’t asleep in the cockpit, what exactly were the pilots doing as their plane blew right by Minneapolis and wandered over Wisconsin for more than an hour? And why didn’t they respond to repeated attempts by controllers on the ground to get their attention? We begin with Lisa Stark in Washington tonight. Lisa?

 

Well, George? Minneapolis airport police were the first on that northwest jet after it landed. And they headed right into the cockpit. We now have that police report. It indicates the captain turned and gave the police officers two thumbs up and shook his head to indicate all was okay. The police also say the pilots were cooperative, apologetic미안해하는, and appreciative감사해하는. There’s been a flood of speculation about what was going on in the cockpit of that northwest jet. Today one of the pilots wouldn’t say much. Richard Cole and fellow pilot Timothy Chieti told police “They had become involved in conversation and had not heard radio communications.” Investigators may have only their word to go by because the cockpit voice recorder caught just the last 30 minutes of the flight. By that time it was likely just routine communications about landing in Minneapolis.

 

Veteran pilots say when the crew first overflew the airport, there would have been warnings in the cockpit messages on display screens. During the more than an hour that controllers couldn’t raise the crew, the plane and its 144 passengers traveled more than 1,300 miles. “How did you totally disregard any audible sounds? I mean did they have the volumes turn down on the radio? Did they have headsets on or did they not have head sets on?”

 

As the drama played out at 37,000 feet, F-16 fighter jets on the ground went on alert for a possible hijacking. And government officials began checking passenger and crew names against watch lists. And when controllers finally reached the plane, they forced the crew to make a series of maneuvers to prove they were in control. Passengers only realized something was wrong when police boarded the plane on landing.

 

Now how did controllers ultimately raise that crew? They contacted two other northwest jets in the area and those crews were able to reach the pilots on a different radio frequency. It also appears that a flight attendant may have called into the cockpit to see what was going on. And we have also learned tonight that the crew, the pilots volunteered for a breath test. It was negative. George?
