舱门空中坠毁 巴西知名航空公司客机惊魂一幕

RIO DE JANEIRO， Brazil （Reuters） - A jet owned by leading Brazilian airline TAM landed safely on Tuesday after one of its doors fell off and crashed to earth next to a supermarket shortly after departure from Sao Paulo.

　　8月8日，巴西知名航空公司TAM的一架客机在空中上演了惊魂一幕，幸而最后安全着陆。该机当天从圣保罗机场起飞后不久，一扇舱门便脱离了机身并落至地面一家超市旁坠毁。

　　No one was hurt in the incident， a TAM spokeswoman said. The Fokker 100 plane with 79 people aboard en route to Rio de Janeiro returned to the airport safely 18 minutes after taking off.

　　TAM公司的一位女发言人表示，没有人在此次事故中受伤。这架载有79名乘客的福克尔100飞机当时正打算飞往里约热内卢，因为这场突发事故它在起飞后18分钟又返回了机场。

　　TAM has been replacing its Fokker planes since the Dutch aircraft maker went bankrupt 10 years ago. It still has 22， but expects to gradually eliminate all of them by 2010.

　　自从荷兰福克尔飞机制造公司于10年前破产后，TAM公司一直在逐步更换掉自己旗下的福克尔飞机。到目前为止，TAM公司仍有22架福克尔飞机，预计到2010年才能让它们全部“退役”。

　　The same type of plane， also operated by TAM， caused one of Brazil‘s worst air disasters in 1996. It crashed in an urban area shortly after taking off from Sao Paulo， killing about 100 people， including some on the ground.

　　1996年，同样归TAM公司所有的一架福克尔100飞机造成了巴西历最惨重的一场空难。当时，飞机从圣保罗机场起飞后不久便坠毁于市区，共造成包括地面人员在内约100人死亡。

　　In 1997， an explosion of undetermined origin killed a passenger who was blown out of a TAM Fokker 100 during flight.

　　1997年，该公司的另一架福克尔100在飞行途中爆炸，导致一名乘客在被甩出飞机后身亡，而爆炸原因至今尚未查明。

　　In 2001 an engine breakup on a TAM Fokker 100 caused two cabin windows to shatter and one of 82 passengers aboard died as a result of the depressurization.

　　2001年，还是TAM公司旗下的一架载有82名乘客的福克尔100飞机因发动机故障致使两块机舱窗户的玻璃破碎，致使一名乘客因舱内气压下降而死亡。
