(多多马9日讯)东非国家坦桑尼亚(Tanzania)发生离奇事故,一架观光小飞机在塞伦盖蒂国家公园(Serengeti National Park)起飞时,竟不慎撞上一只斑马,最终被迫转降,幸好机上30人全都平安落地。
这架小飞机原定4日飞往坦桑尼亚沿岸的桑吉巴岛(Zanzibar),起飞过程中却与一只冲上跑道的斑马发生碰撞。斑马遭飞机轮子辗过后当场死亡,飞机起落架与机腹结构也因此严重受损。
机长研判起落架已无法正常展开,在飞行逾430公里后,紧急转降吉力马札罗国际机场。
现场画面显示,飞机降落时,机腹直接在跑道上摩擦滑行,冒出阵阵浓烟。所幸救援人员迅速赶到现场,机上26名乘客及4名机组人员也全部安全疏散,目前并未通报任何伤亡。
不过,吉力马札罗机场跑道事后暂时关闭,坦桑尼亚民航局已启动调查。
塞伦盖蒂国家公园栖息著多达20万至30万只斑马,也是狮子、大象、豹、牛羚的家园,这些野生动物共同参与了地球上规模最大的动物迁徙活动。
《太阳报》指出,在非洲偏远机场,飞机与野生动物相撞的意外时有所闻。2020年,一架商业航班在肯尼亚一处自然保护区的跑道降落时撞上牛羚;2009年,辛巴威一架飞机因为撞上野猪而紧急迫降。
ZEBRA STRIKE → EMERGENCY BELLY LANDING IN TANZANIA A safari flight in Tanzania went from wildlife encounter to aviation emergency in a matter of minutes. On October 4, a Sindbard Air Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia carrying 26 passengers and four crew struck a zebra during takeoff from Seronera Airstrip in Serengeti National Park. The aircraft was bound for Zanzibar, but after the crew encountered problems with the landing gear, the flight diverted to Kilimanjaro International Airport—which offered a much longer paved runway for the emergency. With the main landing gear unable to deploy, the EMB-120 touched down gear-up, its belly scraping along the runway as smoke and debris appeared during the slide. The aircraft eventually came to a stop, and remarkably, all 30 people onboard escaped safely with no reported injuries. The zebra was killed in the strike, and Tanzania's aviation authorities have launched an investigation into the incident. #Aviation #AviationNews
