조종석의 미스터리

 

Tonight, the pilots who forget to land the plane. What they now say they were doing when they missed Minneapolis. I’m Harry Smith. Also tonight, on the deadliest day in Afghanistan for Americans in more than four years. The president holds another strategy session. Will he send more US troops into the war? “I won’t risk your lives unless it is absolutely necessary.”

 

Why the H1N1 flu is so dangerous for pregnant women? And the life and death choice a husband had to make. Save his wife or their unborn child. And Steve Hartman’s Assignment America. A child nobody else wanted turns out to be exactly the child this man was looking for. This is the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric.

 

Good evening. Katie is on assignment. We begin tonight with a question a lot of people have been asking. How ddi the pilots of that Northwest Airlines flight from San Diego last week miss their destination? They’ve said they were not asleep or what were they doing when they were supposed to be landing the airbus A320 in the Twin Cities. And instead, flew 150 miles past. Over the weekend, investigators asked them and tonight Bob Orr has their answer.

 

In a stunning admission to federal investigators, the pilots of Northwest Airlines flight 188 conceded they were lost in a discussion of flight schedules as they raced right past their intended Minneapolis target. Instead of reviewing landing check lists and answering air traffic instructions, Captain Timothy Cheney and first officer Richard Cole had their headsets off and their noses buried in laptop computers. A violation of airline policy.

 

In separate interviews, Cheney and Cole gave strikingly similar accounts. They denied having a heated argument, denied being tired and denied falling asleep. It wasn’t until a flight attendant called the cockpit and asked why the plane was not descended that the pilots reacted. The jet was 149 people onboard. And now 110 miles past its destination finally turned around. The copilot called it an innocuous악의없는 mistake. But lost pilots have caused some of aviation’s worst events.

 

159 people died in 1995 when an experienced captain of an American airline 757 lost his way and hit a mountain near Kelly, Columbia. The cockpit voice recorder will not settle this issue. There’s nothing on the tape, I’m told, to challenge the pilots’ stories and nothing to indicate whether they were asleep or not. But there were clearly inattentive태만한 부주의의. And aviation sources say that alone would likely cost them their jobs and their licenses.
