MUMBAI: Since 1982, aircraft-assisted suicides (US aviation jargon) by commercial airline pilots have killed 421 people. If final investigation report into the March 24 Germanwings crash confirms that the co-pilot had deliberately crashed the aircraft, the toll would go up to 571. In a study the US aviation regulator released last year, it revealed that there were eight such cases in the US between 2003 and 2012. The pilot was the sole occupant in seven of these cases. Four of the eight pilots tested positive for alcohol and two positive for antidepressants. Despite these shocking cases, flying is one of the safest modes of transport as the intentional crashing of an aircraft is an infrequent and uncommon event.
自从1982年以来，商业航班飞行员的“飞机辅助自杀”（美国航空术语）已经造成421人遇难。如果3月24日德国之翼航班坠毁的最终调查报告证实副驾驶故意坠毁飞机，那么这一数字将上升到571人。美国航空监管机构去年发布的一份研究披露，在2003年至2012年期间，美国发生了8起此类案件。其中7起是只有飞行员在驾驶舱里面。8位飞行员中4位的药检呈阳性，两位的抗忧郁药检呈阳性。尽管出现这些让人震惊的案件，然而飞行仍然是最安全的交通方式之一，毕竟故意坠机是罕见事件。
But could a Germanwings kind of crash have taken place in India? The answer, say aviation experts, is a yes, although it would not be as easy. Why? Post 9/11, reinforced cockpit doors were introduced in all passenger aircraft the world over. During flight, the cockpit door is kept locked at all times. It can be opened or shut only from inside the cockpit. In India, the norm is to have a minimum of two people in the cockpit at all times.
德国之翼航空之类的坠毁事故会发生在印度吗？航空专家的答案是肯定的，虽然不那么容易发生。为什么？因为9/11后，民航客机驾驶舱的门得到了加强。飞行途中，驾驶舱的门是一直锁住的，只能从里面打开或关上。印度规定飞行途中驾驶舱里必须至少有两个人。
以下是《印度时报》读者的评论：
