【2020世界新聞攝影大賽：年度最佳照片故事入圍作品02】 Title: Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 Crash Site （衣索比亞航空302號班機空難現場） © Mulugeta Ayene, Ethiopia, Associated Press 作品描述： 2019年3月10日，一台隸屬衣索比亞航空的波音737 MAX型號的班機ET302，從Addis Ababa 機場起飛後6分鐘後墜毀，機上157人罹難。當時衝擊之大，飛機的兩個引擎都埋入10公尺深的坑中，而罹難者遺體也都難以辨認。11月14日，空難發生8個月後，事故現場被覆蓋，罹難者遺骸則被收斂在成排相似的棺材中埋葬。 衣航空難與2018年10月的印尼獅航空難有許多雷同處，同樣是波音737-MAX型號飛機，該班機也是起飛不久即失事。一開始除了美國以外，世界各國皆停飛737-MAX機型。首份報告指出，儘管駕駛遵循波音公司建議的程序，仍無法阻止飛機反覆壓低機頭。在這兩起空難中，駕駛都在努力處理自動防止失速安全系統故障、機頭壓低問題。故障可能肇因於攻角感測器失靈。 後來發現，美國航空的飛行員在2018年11月即曾針對MAX機型的潛在安全問題向波音公司提出質疑。波音當時承諾修復軟體問題，但直到ET302航班墜毀，這項修復仍未完成。MAX機型飛機全面停飛直到2020年。 STORY : On 10 March, Ethiopian Airlines flight ET302, a Boeing 737 MAX, disappeared from the radar six minutes after take-off from Addis Ababa airport and crashed into a field, killing all 157 people on board. The impact was so great that both engines were buried in a crater 10 meters deep, and any human remains were almost impossible to identify. On 14 November, eight months after the crash, the site of the impact was covered and the unidentified remains of victims buried in rows of identical coffins. Comparisons were made with the crash of a Lion Air aircraft, also a 737 MAX, 12 minutes after take-off from Jakarta in October 2018. Countries across the world, initially with the exception of the US, grounded the 737 MAX. First reports showed that pilots had been unable to prevent the plane repeatedly nosediving, despite following procedures recommended by Boeing. It appeared that in both cases pilots were struggling to deal with an automated safety system designed to prevent stalling, which was repeatedly pushing the nose of the plane down. It seemed that the system was being activated, possibly due to a faulty sensor, even though nothing was wrong. It later emerged that American Airlines pilots had confronted Boeing about potential safety issues with the MAX. Boeing had resisted their calls but promised a software fix, which had not been done by the time Flight ET302 crashed. Planes remained grounded into 2020. #Boeing #737MAX #波音 #衣索比亞航空 #空難 #WPP #photo #WorldPressPhoto
