6月6日周六 Synthé : Saturday 6 June
（现场声音 “接通 接通 接通”） (live “on… on...on”)
这是一架在自动化系统 A revolutionary aircraft in its automated systems
和人机操作系统方面有革命性创新的飞机 and the interface between the human being and those systems.
A330的系统非常完善 从15年前投入运行至今 Systems so sophisticated that since its launch fifteen years earlier
还没有一架飞机出过事 not a single A330 had crashed.
而且空客公司一直宣称它的飞机不可能失速 Moreover, Airbus presented its aircraft as incapable of stalling.
不可能失速 Couldn’t stall?
我们还是先弄清楚我们到底在说什么 Let’s be clear what we’re talking about.
我还不知道有什么东西你扔到空中后 I don’t know of anything you can throw up in the air
会不掉下来的 that doesn’t come back down.
他们一起出去的时候 我都会收到短信 When they both left, I often received texts,
这样我就知道他们到哪儿了 虽然不是每时每刻都知道 so that I could follow them, not at every moment, but to be with them
但这样的话就算有时差也能了解他们在外面的情况 even with the time difference, during their stay.
海滩 糖面包山 基督山 一些必到的旅游景点 The beach, the Sugar Loaf, the Corcovado, the must-do visits in fact.
周日晚上 她照例给我发了条信息 And on the Sunday evening, she sent me the usual little message
说“我们准备登机了 which said “Here we are ready to board
真希望能多呆两天 可惜得回巴黎了” we’d like to have stayed on, pity we have to come back to Paris.”
前面四排的21A坐的是尼古拉斯·图里偶 Four rows in front, in seat 21A, sat Nicolas Toulliou
我知道他的行程 I knew about this journey
因为他本来应该是6月1日早上回来 because he should have returned on the 1st of June in the morning.
那天是公众假期 是圣灵降临节 It was a public holiday, Whit Monday and that evening
那天晚上我们本来打算给父亲祝寿 we were supposed to celebrate my father’s birthday
因为6月1日是他的生日 as he was born on the 1st of June.
这位在石油平台工作的工程师 This engineer, who worked on oil platforms
准备去安哥拉 他在那儿有一个为期一个月的合同Nwas due to leave for Angola where he had a month’s contract.
我们本来生活得很好 很开心很快乐 We had a good life. We were very, very happy.
我们没有孩子 他经常出差 We had no children, he travelled.
他走之前 他爸爸组织了一次家庭烧烤聚会 Before he left, his father had organised a barbecue with the family.
那次他要出去28天 He was going for 28 days.
他对我特别有感情 He was very affectionate with me.
但对别人都很冷淡 非常冷淡 对他父母也是 But rather cold with the others. Very cold. Even with his parents.
他不喜欢别人抱他 He didn’t want to be hugged.
那天 他道别的方式和以往不同 That day, he said goodbye differently from ever before.
他跟每个人道别 还亲了我 He said goodbye to everyone. And he kissed me.

“女士们 先生们 请确保您的座椅靠背 “Ladies and gentlemen,please make sure that your seatbacks
和小桌板都已调直 飞机即将起飞” and table trays are in the full upright position for take-off.”
安全指示过后 After the safety instructions,
法航447航班于晚上10:29起飞 比预计起飞时间晚了30分钟 Air France flight 447 took off at 10:29 pm, 30 minutes late.
按计划飞机将于次日上午11:10飞抵巴黎 Arrival in Paris was expected to be the following morning at 11:10 am.
很快飞机在10,000英尺（3048米）的高度转入自动驾驶模式 They soon switched to automatic pilot at about 10,000 feet.
通常情况下飞行员只在飞机起飞时手动操作飞行 Pilots generally only fly the aircraft manually during take-off.
降落时也是 Same thing on arrival.
有些航空公司甚至建议 And some companies even recommend
使用自动驾驶模式直到飞机触地之前 using the auto pilot almost until touchdown.
所以飞行员不用再驾驶飞机 So the pilots no longer fly the aircraft.
事实就是这样 That’s a fact.
照理 这意味着要应用一系列的自动控制 Logically, it meant using a series of automatic controls.
可以说实际上飞机可以 You might say that for practically the whole trip
从里约自动飞到巴黎 the aircraft could fly itself from Rio to Paris.
人类只是在旁边说“好的 那时我希望它这么做 ” The human being was only there to say, “OK, I want it to do this at that moment ”
或者只在发生重大事故或某些不寻常的事情时才会干涉飞机的操作 or to intervene only when a major incident, or something unusual occurred.
马克·迪布瓦是空客A330的机长 58岁 The captain of the Airbus A330 was Marc Dubois, 58 years-old,
他是位经验丰富的飞行员 累计飞行时间超过11,000小时 an experienced pilot, who had logged more than 11,000 flying hours.
凑巧的是机长马克·迪布瓦 It so happened that the captain, Marc Dubois,
是我的朋友 was a personal friend of mine.
我们都是从因特航空开始的 We started at Air Inter together.
他很聪明 为人严肃 是优秀的飞行员和管理者 He was brilliant, a serious fellow, a good pilot, a good handler.
他是真正能激发一个机长所需要的 He was the sort who really inspired all the confidence
全部信心的那种人 needed in a flight captain.
副机长是37岁的大卫·罗伯特 累计飞行时间达6,500小时 The first officer, David Robert, was 37, with 6,500 flying hours.
飞行的前半程 During the first part of the flight,
他在驾驶舱后的座位上休息 he was resting in a bunk behind the flight deck.
6,500小时 这么说吧 Six thousand five hundred flying hours, well, let’s say that,
飞行员一年平均飞大约700小时 on average, a pilot flies, perhaps 700 hours a year.
所以 他已经在这个岗位上已经做了了8到9年 So, he had had eight or nine years in the job.
二副凯德里克•博南 The second officer, Cédric Bonin,
算是机组里资历最浅的 was the least experienced crew-member.
他的飞行时间是3,000小时 He could only count 3,000 flying hours
是接受自动驾驶培训一代的飞行员之一 and was one of the generation of pilots trained in automatic piloting.
迪布瓦 法航447 累西腓 累西腓 晚上好 高度350 Dubois : Recife, Recife, Air France 447, good evening, level 350.
(Live sous titré) 迪布瓦 法航447 累西腓 累西腓 晚上好 高度350 Dubois : Recife, Recife Air France 447, good evening, level 350.
无线广播 好的 法航447 保持高度350 再见 Radio : Ok Air France 447, keep going at level 350. Bye bye.
当时 At that point,
飞机开始了飞越海洋的行程 the aircraft set off on its journey across the vast ocean
当然 会感觉像是独自一人在这个世界上 Yes, of course, you’re alone in the world.
比如 在横跨大西洋的飞行中 For example, on transatlantic flights
有3或4个小时收不到 for 3 or 4 hours you’re out of classic radio
来自空管员的无线广播 contact with an air traffic controller.
里约飞往巴黎的航班离开巴西的雷达监控范围后 The Rio-Paris flight left Brazilian radar coverage
将有超过3个小时处于雷达盲区 and would remain invisible for more than three hours.
正常的话它会在大西洋另一侧的塞内加尔首都达喀尔 Normally it would reappear on the radar at Dakar in Senegal
的雷达监控中再次出现 on the other side of the Atlantic.
飞机有自己的航线 它们在标记的航线上 Aircraft are on rails, they’re on marked motorways
它们在预期的位置上 they are where they are expected to be.
2009年6月1日早晨 In the early morning of the 1st of June 2009
法航447航班没有在塞内加尔的雷达上出现 Air France flight 447 didn’t show up on the Senegalese radar,
也没有回应无线电发出的询问 and didn’t respond to radio calls.
有可能会有不明确的阶段 There would be a period of uncertainty.
他们应该和我们联系 给我们发送 They should have contacted us to launch INCERFA,
情况不明阶段 the uncertainty phase.
但是 什么也没收到 Then, still no call from them.
因此我们开始了告警阶段 发出了警报 So we go to what they call the ALERFA phase, the alert.
他们开始向不同地区的空管员 They begin to verify the messages from the different controllers,
以及邻近的别的飞机验证这个消息 他们都试图联系这架飞机 the different aircraft in the vicinity and try to call this aircraft,
但都一无所获 there were no messages.
没有回复 时间紧迫 No response. Time was short.
再过一小时 In the next hour,
飞机就会耗尽它的燃料储备 the aircraft would have used up its fuel reserve.
再过了段时间 Then, after a time,
确定无法同飞机取得联系后 when obviously there has been no contact,
安保程序启动 这关乎机上人员的生命 then safety, security comes into play, people’s lives,
之后遇险阶段启动 then the distress phase, DETRESFA is triggered.
这意味着人们 This means everyone is alerted to say that now you have to
必须去它最后到过的地方 go to the last place where it was supposed to be,
去看下发生了什么 to see what has happened.
这个地方是在茫茫的大西洋上空的 This is a point, in the middle of nowhere,
某个地方 above the Atlantic ocean.
当时现场的救援者说 From the rescuers’ point of view,
海面上没有任何踪迹可寻 there is no trace on the surface of the ocean.
飞机不可能无缘无故就消失了 There’s no such thing as an aircraft that just disappears.
我心想出事了 坠毁了 I said to myself, it’s all over. It’s gone.
上午11点我接到了电话 I had a phone call at 11 am to inform me.
是她老公的亲戚 In fact, it was her in-laws,
问我航班号 who asked me for the flight number
因为他们听到新闻说 because they had heard on the news
一架里约起飞的航班从雷达上消失了 that a flight from Rio had disappeared off the radar.
我一下子就倒在阳台上 一直尖叫 I just collapsed on the balcony, screaming
因为我知道 because I knew...
我知道出事了 I knew that something had happened
完了 and that it was the end. 我知道出事了 I knew that something had happened
完了 and that it was the end.
我觉得没其他可能了 其实我也不知道 For me there was nothing else, in fact, I don’t know.
我想不出别的可能 就是完了 I couldn’t think of anything else but the end.
我一听就明白发生了什么 I knew in my heart what I would hear…
我知道很严重 I knew it was serious.
就像噩梦一样 It was a nightmare in fact.
就是一场噩梦 你走进房间 It was a nightmare, because you went into the room
有很多人在那儿 and there were many people there
机上有228名乘客 there were 228 passengers aboard that aircraft
很多都是法国家庭 他们的家属都来了 including many French families, who were all there.
他们都在哭 You saw all those people in tears.
他们的手臂 他们 他们都在 他们都在哭 在喊 Their arms … they, they were all... they were crying, shouting
到了以后你会跟自己说 and you arrive and you say to yourself
“”这不可能 这是噩梦 这是噩梦“” ”It’s not possible, it’s a nightmare, it’s a nightmare.”
我看见我嫂子也来了 我想我应该可以这么称呼她 I found my sister-in-law there, I suppose I can say that
她一把抱住我说 she fell into my arms and said,
“”我们本来今晚要告诉你 我们准备结婚了“” “We were going to tell you tonight that we were getting married.”
那时我一下子崩溃了 我知道不可能了 At that, I broke down, I knew that it was just not possible.
不可能了 不可能 It wasn’t possible… It wasn’t possible.
他走了 不可能了 It wasn’t possible that he was gone.
他们不可能结婚了 It wasn’t possible that they were going to get married.
本来是那天 现在不可能了 It wasn’t possible that that could happen that day,
我爸爸那天生日 my father’s birthday.
我们做了什么得到这样的报应 What did we do to deserve that?
昨晚 Last night,
一架法航客机失联 we lost track of an Air France aircraft
机上包括机组人员共有228人 with 228 people aboard, passengers and crew.
目前我们还没有确切的消息 We have no precise news of what occurred.
这是法航有史以来从未发生过的灾难 It is a catastrophe the like of which Air France has never known.
那之后 我有种巨大的孤独感 After that, came great loneliness,
死一般的孤寂 the worst sort of loneliness.
在这个世界上我独自一人承担着我的悲伤 I was alone in the world with my grief.
不敢相信失去了自己的孩子 Losing a child is just disbelief.
你不敢相信这样的现实 这样的宿命 You can’t believe in such a reality, such fatality.
不管怎样很快你就失去了希望 In any case, very quickly, you lose hope.
当一架飞机消失了 When an aircraft disappears,
没 没什么必要骗自己 there is no …no point in deluding yourself.
但当他们找不到 But I think that while they haven’t found
任何飞机的残骸时 the slightest trace of the plane,
你会对自己说“”他们在某个地方“” you say to yourself, ”They are there somewhere.”
这是比较超现实主义的想法 It’s the rather surrealist side to it.
新闻速读 - 娜塔丽·雷纳克斯 Extrait JT - Nathalie Renoux
从新闻六台获得的关于法航空难的最新消息显示 Special edition for M6 devoted to the disappearance of an Air France aircraft
在大西洋上空飞行中 机上的228名人员 in full flight over the Atlantic, with 228 people aboard.
其中至少40位法国公民还有大部分巴西人 At least 40 French nationals and a majority of Brazilians
以及20多位德国人 and more than 20 Germans.
这是法国国家航空公司史上最严重的灾难 This is the deadliest disaster ever for the French National Airline.
肯定是出大事了 So, something really serious must have occurred.
但是 是...什么大事？ Then, later… what’s ‘serious’’?
飞行过程中发生爆炸？恐怖袭击？ An explosion in flight? Terrorist attack? @让·赛拉特 - 航空专家 @Jean Serrat - aviation specialist
飞机出现重大故障导致自由下落？ A major problem that put the aircraft into free fall?
很难说 It was impossible to say.
我们一直在等消息 We waited for news.
直到法航代表们出现 Until some of the Air France representatives came
说飞机一定是被雷电击中 to say that the aircraft must have been struck by lightning.
有些自然现象不会危害飞机的安全飞行 There are phenomena that don’t prevent the aircraft from flying,
但是这也许提供了一种环境 but that obviously might create conditions
让飞机飞行安全性降低 that make the aircraft less secure,
尤其是如果当时还出现技术故障 especially if there are technical problems happening at the same time.
飞行的最后几分钟 During the final minutes of flight,
飞机自动发送了一些参数信息 the aeroplane emitted a certain number of automatic messages,
飞机通信寻址与报告系统信息 the ACARS messages,
信息保留在法航维护保养中心 that were recorded at the Air France maintenance centre.
这些消息包含速度变化 These messages reported the loss of speed indication,
自动驾驶仪的问题 the loss of the automatic pilot
以及失速保护的问题 and the loss of stalling protection.
飞机通信寻址与报告系统能准确让我们清楚发生了什么 ACARS tells us practically everything.
显然飞机已经失速 It was obvious to us that the aircraft had stalled.
飞机通信寻址与报告系统具有 The duration of the ACARS messages lasted overall 4 minutes
4分钟15到45秒的误差 with uncertainties of 15 to 45 seconds.
所以 简单说就是4分钟 So, roughly speaking, 4 minutes.
那么 4分钟告诉我们飞机高度 So, 4 minutes given the altitude of the aircraft to start with
就是对应物体 is simply the time taken for an object
在大气层自由下落的时间 to free fall through the atmosphere.
所以显然飞机从大气层一开始 So it was obvious from the start that this aeroplane
就如落叶一般坠落 直接落入海中 dropped like a dead leaf, flat, till it hit the sea.
简单地说飞机以最大速度飞行 That is to say that the aircraft travelled a maximum distance
对应的5分钟 corresponding to 5 minutes of flight
就是在最后已知位置和事故发生地之间 between the last known position and the accident.
我们可以说飞机在撞击水面之前 We can state that the aircraft was probably intact
是完好无损的 之后受到巨大的压力破碎 when it hit the water and that it broke up on impact. @让·赛拉特 - 航空专家 @Jean Serrat - aviation specialist
他们找到了机翼 They found the complete fin.
你就只能接受 Then you have to accept,
如果是整块机翼 那么撞击一定很激烈 if they have the whole fin it must have hit hard.
当你发现这块机翼 是的 很糟糕 When you see this fin, yes, it’s terrible.
我的同事们也在飞机上 Our colleagues were on board
对所有人来说都是一场灾难 and that is traumatic for everyone.
毕竟 上面有国旗 这就是特征 After all, it’s the national flag, so it’s symbolic.
不可能是其他公司的什么东西 It’s not just any company.
到那就很明显了 There of course
我们知道不能轻易下判断 we knew that we shouldn’t believe anything else
但新闻上已经播出了 but what they showed us on the news.
我对我自己说 The aircraft crashed
飞机坠毁了 如果真这样 他会哭出来 I said to myself, if that was the case, he cried out,
他很害怕 那段时间我们都麻木了 he was frightened and during that time we didn’t feel a thing.
我们就像睡着了一样 We were asleep.
我们失去他了 We weren’t there for him.
我花了很长时间才意识到 It took me a long time to understand
我再也见不到他 that I would never see him again.
他曾经在低地国家上过求生课程 As he did a survival course in the Low Countries,
当时他不得不从直升机上跳入海中 where he had to jump into the sea from a helicopter,
即使我不能再见到他 that I would never see him again.
我也希望他还活着 I hoped that he was still alive.
我知道我必须赶去累西腓 I felt the need to go to Recife,
去看他们打捞上来安置的遗体 where they had taken the remains of the bodies.
但他们不允许我进入鉴证研究所 But they would not let me into the Institute of Forensic Medicine.
不久之后 他们公布了已确认身份的遗体名单 Later, they revealed the identities of the bodies they had found.
我的儿子不在其中 And he wasn’t among them.
我仍然坚持 I still battle on,
因为我必须知道真相 because I need to know the truth, I have to know,
到底发生了什么？我的儿子在哪里？ What happened? And where is my son’s body?
我失去了我的女儿 I had lost my daughter,
我想知道她走的时候 so I wanted to know in what conditions
发生了什么 最重要的是 为什么会这样 she was lost and above all why.
“为什么”这个问题萦绕在我心中 无法散去 It is the “why” that is the nagging, persistent question.
我们想要一个合理的解释 And we want a logical explanation.
该由谁来负责？事故原因到底是什么？ Who is responsible? How did it happen?
当时发生了什么？为什么会这样？为什么？ What were the conditions? Why? Why?
我们唯一能够确定的事 The one certain thing is that we knew
是ACARS录音中显示的飞机最后方位 the last position of the aircraft through the ACARS recording.
因为我们打捞到了飞机残骸 We knew the impact zone
我们因此确定了飞机撞击海面的区域 because we had recovered the wreckage.
那么现在只剩下一件事要做 Now there was only one thing to do,
尽管海水深至4000米 in spite of the depth of water: 4,000 metres.
我们必须找到并修复黑匣子 We had to recover the black boxes.
我们必须找到机身残骸 这样才能找出事故原因 We had to locate the wreck, to make it speak to us.
我们告诉自己 想要找到遗体 发现浮油 We said to ourselves, it’s not possible to find the bodies,
找到所有的碎片是不可能的 to find oil slicks, to recover debris
但是他们却说连剩余的机身残骸和黑匣子也找不到 but that they can’t find the rest of the wreck and the black boxes.
我们说 “这不可能” We said, “It’s just not possible.”
这是法航 是空客 There’s Air France, and there’s Airbus.
一定是发生了什么 There must be something going on
导致他们不愿意找到飞机 and they don’t want the plane to be found.
我们不明白为什么搜寻工作一直很缓慢 We couldn’t see what reason they had to try to gain time.
不要忘了这架出事的飞机是空客330 Let’s not forget that the aircraft in question was an A330,
每一天 成千上万的旅客都乘坐着空客330出行 and that every day, hundreds of thousands of passengers fly in them.
难道我们会拿那么多乘客的安全冒险吗？ Would we endanger the safety of the passengers?
当我们发现海床上的异常画面 What we saw at that moment was something abnormal on the seabed.
那是比较模糊的画面 不是很精确 Something rather vague, not very precise.
没有达到照片的清晰度 It had nothing of the precision of a photograph.
但那确实是异常现象 But something abnormal.
我们再次派出潜水艇 We sent the submarines down again,
这一次潜水艇上安装了摄像机 but this time with cameras.
那就那个时刻 突然之间我们明白了 第二天早上 That was when, immediately, the following morning
BEA公布了这些令人惊叹的黑白照片 the BEA released the very impressive black and white pictures
照片中是躺在海底的各种飞机残骸和零件 and other various parts of the aircraft at the bottom of the sea.
黑匣子在海底泡了两年多 They had been there for two years
但它们依然能读出数据 and yet they were immediately readable.
核心部分仍然完整 也就是说 They were intact, that’s to say they were
黑匣子的内部 被完好的保存 in a perfect state of preservation.
这些数据包含着直到坠机的那一刻前 They gave access to all the flight parameters
飞机的所有数据 as well as the conversations of the crew,
和机组人员的对话录音 right up to the final moments before the accident
累西腓 累西腓 这里是法航447 晚上好 高度35000英尺 Recife, Recife, Air France 447. Good evening. Level 350.
收到 法航447 继续保持在35000英尺 再见 Ok Air France 447. Keep going at level 350. Bye bye.
接下去可是一段很长很难捱的时间 It’s going to be a long time for you.
试着去休息个20分钟 Try and get 20 minutes’ sleep in a little while.
好的 谢谢你 OK. Thanks, very kind.
我现在感觉还好 之后如果累了我会去休息的 I’m all right at the moment, but if I feel like it later, yes.
我昨晚没有好好休息 I didn’t get enough sleep last night.
之前一小时的午睡可一点儿也不够 An hour’s siesta a bit earlier wasn’t enough.
我认为他说的休息不好指的是 I think he’s clearly referring to an attempt to take a siesta
他在起飞前没有睡好午觉 before the flight that was apparently unsuccessful.
但你也可以理解为他很疲劳 So, it’s interesting all the same,
这样情况就变得滑稽了 when you might think he was rather tired.
夜间飞行的难点是时差 你会很累 The difficulty at night is jet lag, you’re tired,
不再具有一夜安眠后早起出发的日间航班 you don’t have the same intellectual or physical capacity
那样的处理认知能力和身体机能 that you have in daytime flights when you leave fresh in the morning.
我们在赤道上 We’re over the equator.
我们跨过了赤道 你感受到了吗？ We crossed the equator. Did you feel the bump?
噢 是的 Ah, yes. 我们跨过了赤道 你感受到了吗？ We crossed the equator. Did you feel the bump?
噢 是的 Ah, yes.
机长很放松 The captain is rather relaxed.
让我想起了曾经我自己的航班 That reminds me a bit of my own flights.
我想说的是 这就是飞行员的日常 What I mean, you know, is that this is just routine.
我想我们正在朝着云层飞去 I think we’re heading into a cloud layer.
我们得等等 也许能穿过去... We’ll wait a bit. We may get through…
我们不能被一点点积雨云干扰到 We’re not going to let a bit of cumulus bug us.
在他们飞行方向的前方 They are heading towards something technically
实际上是我们所说的赤道锋 known as the intertropical front. @让·赛拉特 航空专家 @Jean Serrat - aviation specialist
实际上是我们所说的赤道锋 known as the intertropical front.
来自北半球北部的气流 These are air currents coming from the north in the northern hemisphere
和来自南半球南部的气流 and from the south in the southern hemisphere.
两团气流相遇 气温大约35-40摄氏度 They meet at a place at 35-40 degrees Celsius,
此时就会产生厚厚的云障 so you have a sort of rising cloud barrier that was known,
这在航空届 被称为是赤道无风带 when airmail started, as the doldrums.
你想要避开？ You want to avoid it?
可不简单 因为它无处不在 Not so easy, because it goes all round the Earth.
一点儿也不简单 Not at all easy.
但是那是非常容易被侦测到的云 But they are clouds that are very easy to spot,
一些云的直径有半英里 some of them are half a mile in diameter.
所以 当你在雷达上看到赤道锋 So, what do you do when you see them on the radar,
看到在活动的赤道锋 you see one is very active,
你就应该左右绕开 you pass to the left, you pass to the right.
有时它们在非常高的高空活动 Sometimes they go up so high .
那么你只能穿过它们 that you are obliged to fly into them
啊！这是我们想要的 Huh! That’s all we needed.
这难道不是赶着找麻烦吗？ Are we in for trouble, or what?
圣埃尔莫来的太不是时候了 Saint Elmo was the last thing we needed.
我觉得前面似乎有风暴 I get the impression that there are storms there.
