其一-最倒霉的幸存者-----------------------------------------------------------
Get that man a Eurail Pass – December 1, 1959
1959年12月1日——阿勒格尼航空371班机
A compass is not a piece of equipment you expect to fail. There’s not much to simplify as I understand the technology. Take a magnet, if it points north it shouldn’t ever stop pointing north. But when Allegheny flight #371 put their trust in their compass, they made a fatal error. A false reading during an instrument landing in Williamsport, PA saw the plane assume the fly’s traditional role as Bald Eagle Mountain played the windshield.
该航班由于导航系统故障及机长失误撞山。机上26人仅一人幸存。事故详细信息:

Of the 22 passengers and four crew aboard, the sole survivor was a man who was found at the top of a tree, still buckled into his seat. It was the second time a plane he was in had crashed.
唯一的幸存者连同座椅挂在了树上。
这个幸运而倒霉的家伙已经是第二次在飞机失事中幸存。

其二-最蛋疼的旅客-------------------------------------------------------------
Technically, two accidents – June, 28 1965
1965年6月28日,泛美843班机
On June, 28 1965, the front landing gear on the Clipper Friendship failed as it was coming in for a landing at Travis Air Force Base near San Francisco. Made of recycled but refurbished parts, the plane dropped to its nose, skidding to a stop on the tarmac on its nose.
The plane was nearly empty, no one was hurt. So why is this one of the most interesting plane crashes of all time?
那天友谊快帆号——一架翻新机在旧金山附近的特拉维斯空军基地降落后前起落架塌陷。飞机上本就没有乘客,事故中也无人受伤。
为什么这次事件那么有意思呢?

Earlier that morning, as a 707 bound for Hawaii was taking off, the passengers felt a bump. The pilot came on: "We seem to have a bit of a problem with an engine…"
那天早晨,一架飞往夏威夷的707起飞后不久抖了一下,飞行员说道:
我们似乎有个引擎出问题了。
Then, out the right window, an explosion rips off 25 feet of wing. The pilot: "Ladies and Gentlemen, we seem to have a BIG problem." This pilot was a straight shooter.
之后,右侧机翼发生了爆炸,甚至带走了25英尺的机翼结构。事后发现是4号引擎三级扇叶断裂所致。

飞行员开门见山地说道:
女士们先生们,我们有大麻烦了。

(对比:英航09
“女士们,先生们,我是你们的机长。
我们遇到了一点“小”麻烦,
我们的四个引擎都熄火了。
我觉得飞机还是可以抢救一下的,
相信大家都能保持镇定。”)

Fortunately, in addition to his dry sense of humor, he was also a competent flyer. He landed the plane safely at a nearby Air Force Base and the airline arranged for a plane to come pick up the passengers. Waiting for a ride to Hawaii, a plane full of shaken, plane-wary passengers watched as the Clipper Friendship came in for a landing and the front landing gear buckled.
毫无幽默感但技术高超的飞行员将严重受损的飞机降落在了一个临近的空军基地,无人死亡。
航空公司表示让饱受惊吓的旅客晾在空军基地实在是说不过去,于是专门派了一架空飞机来接这些旅客离开这鬼地方继续飞往夏威夷。
当这架飞机到达的时候——
她的前起落架
居然
毫不顾忌幸存者感受地——
™塌了!!!
然后擦着一地火星和青烟地停了下来。
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
————就是我之前提到的友谊快帆号。

我很怀疑那些旅客是否还有勇气继续飞往夏威夷。

其三-最悲催的机尾-------------------------------------------------------------
1977年3月27日傍晚,在加纳利群岛的北特内里费机场,两架747在跑道上相撞。
(细节参见空中浩劫特辑:世纪大空难)
相撞的两机分别为:
荷航4805号班机,742,编号PH-BUF,载有248人,无人生还。
泛美航空1736号班机,741,编号N736PA,载有396人,61人生还。
这起事件是迄今为止机上人员死亡最惨重的空难,如果计入地面人员死伤则逊于911袭击而居第二。
事后调查显示,自我感觉过于良好的荷航机长贸然起飞是事故的主因,而不佳的能见度、ATC与泛美的协作不良及无线电干扰破坏了避免灾难发生的努力。

1973年7月23日,编号JA8109的742执飞阿姆斯特丹-东京航线,从阿姆斯特丹起飞后被日本赤军劫持。机上其余144人安全获释,而飞机被炸毁。
事后发现,该机机尾部分损伤甚微,还是可以抢救一下的。
于是被转售予KLM荷兰皇家航空,并作为编号PH-BUF的742机尾。
也就是4年后在特内里费空难中撞毁的那架742的机尾。

前两起应该某种程度上算是幸运吧。

毕竟本来可能就此往生了的……结果幸存了或避免了伤亡。
