NBC晚间新闻 莫斯科客机起火紧急迫降

Tonight a Russian passenger plane became a fireball. Flames consumed the back half as survivors¹ escaped on inflatable slides, fleeing the burning wreckage² on foot. The Russian built Sukhoi Superjet was operated by Aeroflot and took off from Moscow S unday night on route to the northern city of Murmansk.

Russia's Interfax news agency reported the pilots issued a distress³ call immediately after takeoff and the plane circled back 30 minutes later for an emergency landing. While it's too soon for a cause, aviation experts say this video will surely provide crucial clues. You're not just seeing a little fire in one localized area on the airframe. You're seeing a trail of heavy thick flame and smoke and that could only be from a breach⁴ in the fuel system. For survivors a harrowing ordeal⁵ and nothing short of a miracle.

今晚一架俄罗斯客机变成了一个火球。火焰吞噬了飞机的后半部分，幸存者乘坐充气滑梯逃出飞机，然后步行逃离燃烧的残骸。这架俄罗斯制造的苏霍伊超级喷气式飞机由俄罗斯航空公司运营，它于周日晚上从莫斯科起飞，前往北部城市摩尔曼斯克。据俄罗斯国际文传电讯社报道，在飞机起飞后，飞行员就立即发出了求救信号，30分钟后，飞机回航准备紧急着陆。尽管现在还不能很快得知事故原因，但是航空专家表示这个视频肯定会提供一些关键的线索。你看到的不是机身局部区域的一点小火。你看到的是一缕浓浓的火焰和浓烟，这只能是燃料系统出现的破裂造成的。对于幸存者来说，这是一场痛苦的折磨，能活下来简直就是一个奇迹。
