埃塞俄比亚航空公司302号航班,新开的波音737MAX 8号航班,于2019年3月10日从亚的斯亚贝巴起飞几分钟后坠毁,机上157人全部死亡。 Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, a new Boeing 737 MAX 8, crashed on March 10, 2019, minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 on board. MCAS系统发生故障,造成无人指挥的鼻下运动,使机组人员不堪重负,尽管有人试图稳定飞机和使系统失效。 A malfunction in the MCAS system caused uncommanded nose-down movements, overwhelming the crew despite attempts to stabilize the aircraft and disable the system. 飞机飞速坠落,坠落近500米,坠入一片田野,碎片散布在30英里以上。 The plane descended rapidly, crashing at nearly 500 mph into a field, with debris scattered over 30 miles. 美国NTSB发现,按照现行程序,本可允许收回。 The U.S. NTSB found that following existing procedures could have allowed recovery. 这次坠机事件与2018年类似的狮子航空公司事件有关,导致2019年3月至2020年12月全球737个MAX飞机停飞,2024年1月短暂重新降落。 The crash, linked to a similar 2018 Lion Air incident, led to a global 737 MAX grounding from March 2019 to December 2020, and a brief re-grounding in January 2024.
