加拿大：航班飞行途中 飞行员入厕被困

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The pilot of a Canadian airliner who went to the washroom during a flight found himself locked out of the cockpit, forcing the crew to remove the door from its hinges to let him back in, the airline said Wednesday.

　　8月30日，加拿大航空公司表示，该公司一名飞行员几天前在执行一次飞行任务时遇到了一起颇为罕见的突发事故，此人在飞行过程中去了一趟洗手间，但在返回驾驶室时他却发现自己竟被锁在了门外，最后全体机组人员共同努力把驾驶室门拆了下来，这位飞行员才得以重返工作岗位。

　　The incident occurred aboard a flight from Ottawa to Winnipeg Saturday. The regional jet, capable of carrying 50 people, was operated by Air Canada's Jazz subsidiary.

　　8月26日，这起意外事故发生在一架从加拿大首都渥太华飞往该国马尼托巴省温尼伯市的民航班机上。这架可搭载50名乘客的支线飞机的所有者为加拿大航空公司旗下一家名叫爵士航空公司的子公司。

　　Jazz spokeswoman Manon Stewart said that with 30 minutes of the flight to go, the pilot went to the washroom, leaving the first officer in charge. But when he tried to get back into the cockpit, the door would not open.

　　爵士航空公司一位名叫曼侬?斯图亚特的女发言人的说法，在该航班还有30分钟就要降落的时候，那位飞行员在将驾驶任务交由自己的副手负责后便起身前往洗手间。但当他从洗手间出来试图重新进入驾驶室时却发现门已经打不开了。

　　"The door malfunctioned ... this is a very rare occurrence," Stewart said, adding that the crew's decision to remove the door had been in line with company policy.

　　斯图尔特说：“那扇门当时出了故障，这种情况实属罕见。”她还表示，机组人员选择将门拆下的做法完全符合该公司的相关规定。

　　A report in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper said that for about 10 minutes "passengers described seeing the pilot bang on the door and communicating with the cockpit though an internal telephone, but being unable to open the door."

　　据悉，一些乘客曾看到那名飞行员用力捶门，然后又通过飞机内部的电话系统与驾驶室内的人取得联系，但始终无法把门打开，上述过程大约持续了10分钟。

　　Stewart stressed that at no time had the plane or passengers been in danger. She did not say how many people had been on board.

　　不过斯图尔特指出，在此次意外事故的全过程中，无论是飞机还是乘客都没有被置于危险状态之下。但她没有透露当时该架飞机内到底有多少名乘客。
