NEW DELHI: A Mumbai-bound Air India flight from Newark Liberty International Airport with over 250 people on board was forced to return and make an emergency landing on Sunday due to a serious engine problem, sources said.
消息人士称,印度航空一架载着250多名乘客,从纽瓦克自由国际机场飞往孟买的航班,由于严重的引擎故障而被迫返航并紧急迫降。
The pilot, however, made a safe landing, they said. "The flight had taken off for Mumbai at around 1650 hours (US time) and landed back at Newark (US) after being airborne for about two hours due to violent vibrations in one of the engines of the Boeing 777-300 ER aircraft", Air India sources told PTI here.
然而,飞行员(操纵飞机)安全着陆了。“该航班于当地时间大约16:50分起飞前往孟买,在空中飞行大约两小时后,这架波音777-300飞机的其中一个引擎发生剧烈震动,导致航班被迫返回纽瓦克机场降落。”印度航空的消息人士对印度报业托拉斯记者说。
An Air India spokesperson confirmed the incident and said the passengers are being adjusted in its Delhi flight.
The aircraft was at a height of 29,000 feet when the vibrations occurred, the sources said.

消息人士说,震动发生时,飞机的飞行高度为29000英尺。

"After landing one of the blades of the engine was found fractured due to stress and this resulted in violent vibrations," they said.
Sources said the pilot's prompt action averted a disaster.
The pilot had to dump some 60 tonnes of fuel and keep the engine idle for a safe landing under the "serious" situation, the sources said.
“降落后,引擎的一个叶片被发现由于压力而断裂,导致剧烈振动。”他们说
消息人士说,飞行员的迅速行动避免了一场灾难。
飞行员不得不放掉60吨燃油,为了能够安全着陆而让引擎在“严峻”情况下闲置。

I THINK AIR INDIA PILOTS WILL BE MOST EXPERT PILOTS IN THE WORLD.. THEY ARE FLYING 20 YEAR OLD AIRCRAFT WITH ALL PROBLEMS.. EVEN BOEING PILOTS WILL BE PUZZLED SEEING ALL THESE..LOL.
我认为印度航空的飞行员是世界上最专业的飞行员,他们飞着20年历史饱受各种问题困扰的旧飞机。
就连波音飞行员看到这些也倍感困惑,哈哈

The Pilot saved the passengers. But what Air India Engineers were doing. They should have done their jobs properly.
飞行员拯救了乘客。
但是印度航空的工程师又在干什么。
他们应该尽到自己的本职工作。
