韩亚客机起落架撞上防波堤

U.S. government investigators say the landing gear of the Asiana Airlines jet that crashed Saturday at San Francisco airport hit a seawall at the end of the runway, sending the fuselage skidding down the airfield.

The chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, Deborah Hersman, told a news conference in San Francisco Tuesday that seconds before the crash, the pilots on board tried to correct the plane's speed and elevation.

Two Chinese schoolgirls were killed and about 180 of the more than 300 people on board were injured when the Boeing 777 crashed-landed.

Information from the plane's flight data recorder shows the plane was traveling far too slowly as it came in for a landing. Hersman declined to speculate on the cause of the crash, but much of the information released by the NTSB suggests pilot error as a main focus of the investigation.美国政府调查人员说，星期六在旧金山机场失事的韩亚航空公司客机的起落架在触到跑道之前撞到防波堤，致使机身滑向跑道一侧的场地。

美国国家交通安全委员会主席德博拉·赫斯曼星期二在旧金山的一次记者会上说，就在失事之前几秒钟，机上驾驶员试图纠正飞机航速和高度。

韩亚航空这架波音777客机降落时失事，造成两名中国女学生丧生，大约180人受伤。当时机上有300多人。

飞机上的飞行数据记录器的资料显示，飞机降落之前的速度太慢。赫斯曼拒绝对失事原因做出推测，不过，从美国国家交通安全委员会公布的大多数信息看出，驾驶员的失误是调查的重点。
