當?shù)貢r間8月2日下午,一架法國航空公司的空客A-340飛機在加拿大多倫多國際機場降落的時候滑出跑道,隨后爆炸起火。萬幸的是,機上的309名乘客和機組人員全部生還,只有20多人受輕傷。外電報道如下:An
Air France jetliner attempting to land at Toronto's Pearson International Airport overran a
runway, smashed into a gully and burst into flames Tuesday
afternoon.
All 297 passengers and 12 crew members survived the crash, Canadian
authorities and the airline said.
Hospitals treated 24 people for minor injuries, said Steve Shaw,
chairman of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority.
Jetliner意為“大型的噴氣式客機”,jet本身就有“噴氣式飛機;噴氣式發(fā)動機”的含義,相關的詞組還有jet-burner(噴燈,噴嘴燃燒器);jet-fighter(噴氣式戰(zhàn)斗機);jet-prop(裝有渦輪螺旋漿引擎的);jet-rotor(直升機的噴射旋轉翼)等。
據(jù)悉,飛機降落前,多倫多地區(qū)電閃雷鳴,風雨大作,機場內各種地面作業(yè)活動都暫時終止,但機場跑道狀況良好。
