美國一客機在萬米高空出現發動機故障

A woman who was partially sucked out of a window of a US passenger plane after an engine exploded in mid-air has died.

近日，在美國一架飛機的發動機在空中爆炸後，一名部分身體被吸出艙外的女子不幸遇難。

Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 made an emergency landing in Philadelphia after a window, wings and fuselage were damaged. Seven passengers were injured.

西南航空1380號航班在費城緊急降落，該飛機的窗戶、機翼和機身均受損。有七名乘客受傷。

Initial findings say an engine fan blade was missing. In a recording, one of the pilots can be heard saying "there is a hole and someone went out".

最初的調查結果表明發動機風扇葉片丟失。在錄音中，可以聽到其中一名飛行員說“機上有個洞，有人飛出去了”。

The Boeing 737-700 had been en route from New York's La Guardia airport to Dallas, Texas, with 143 passengers and five crew when the incident happened.

事故發生時，這架波音737-700客機正從紐約拉瓜迪亞機場前往德克薩斯州達拉斯，搭載有143名乘客和5名機組人員。

Witnesses say an engine on the plane's left side blew, smashing a window and causing cabin depressurisation that nearly sucked the woman out of the aircraft. She was pulled back in by other passengers.

目擊者稱，飛機左側的一個發動機發生爆炸，擊碎了一扇窗戶，並導致艙內壓力降低，幾乎將一名女性吸出飛機。隨後她被其他乘客拉了回來。

The victim was Jennifer Riordan, a mother-of-two and bank vice-president at Wells Fargo in Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

根據《費城問詢報》稱，受害者名叫珍妮弗·里奧丹，是新墨西哥州阿爾伯克基富國銀行的副行長，並且是兩個孩子的母親。

In a statement, Southwest said it was "devastated" and extended sympathy to all those affected by the "tragic event".

西南航空公司在一份聲明中表示他們“很沉痛”，並對所有受到該“悲劇性事件”影響的人士表示同情。
