Boeing and FAA slammed for crashes

報告揭露波音事故根源

Numerous design, management and regulatory failures during the development of the 737 Max preceded the "preventable death" of 346 people in two crashes of the Boeing jetliner, according to a congressional report released Wednesday.

根據美國國會9月16日發佈的一份報告，由於波音公司737 Max客機的開發過程中出現了多個設計、管理和監管方面的失誤，導致了兩起墜機事件的發生，造成346人死亡。報告稱，這些人的死亡“本可避免”。

The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure's 238-page report, painted a Boeing that prioritized profits over safety as the manufacturer raced to finish the plane to compete with rival Airbus.

這份長達238頁的報告由美國衆議院下屬運輸和基礎設施委員會發布，報告稱，波音爲了和競爭對手空客搶單，急於推出737 Max飛機，將利潤置於安全問題之上。

The report said concerns about the aircraft weren't sufficiently addressed to spur design changes.

報告稱，對於這款機型的擔憂沒有得到足夠的重視，飛機設計上的問題未得到修正。

The report also found the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) failed to protect the traveling public, in part because of "excessive" delegation of certification work to Boeing.

報告還認爲，美國聯邦航空管理局未能保護出行公衆，部分原因是其將認證工作“過度”委託給了波音公司。

The report comes as regulators are in the final stretch of work to recertify the planes.

這份報告發布之際，監管機構對737 Max飛機的重新認證正處於最後階段。

The 737 Max has been grounded worldwide since March 2019.

自2019年3月以來，這款機型一直在全球範圍內處於停飛狀態。
