据当局消息,当地时间周二晚间,一架载有6人的商务喷气式飞机在得克萨斯州拉雷多的一条高速公路上坠毁并起火,造成1人死亡,现场一片混乱——民众纷纷下车,疯狂砸击驾驶舱窗户,试图救出机内人员。
途经起火飞机的司机们拍下了惊心动魄的救援画面,或是徒步冲向飞机展开救助。其中两人带着大锤和铁锹跑来,用工具敲击驾驶舱玻璃,还试图撬开飞机舱门。
拉雷多警方调查人员何塞·贝萨表示,飞机于当晚10点刚过时,在靠近美墨边境的20号环线高速公路上坠毁。拉雷多距离圣安东尼奥西南方向约140英里。
拉雷多国际机场主任吉尔伯托·桑切斯在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中称,机场于当地时间晚上9点58分收到警报,称一架塞斯纳奖状型飞机出现机械故障且燃油不足。
他表示,这架飞机随后与塔台失去联系,并在几分钟后在离机场几英里的地方迫降坠毁。
桑切斯说,机上一人当场被宣布死亡,其余五人被送往当地医院,目前情况稳定。
他透露,这架飞机当时正前往得克萨斯州奥斯汀。
美国国家运输安全委员会和联邦航空管理局均表示将展开调查,联邦航空管理局称将由国家运输安全委员会牵头调查。
发布在社交媒体上的行车记录仪 footage 显示,这架飞机在高速公路上失控滑行,撞断一根路灯杆后停下。飞机最终停在离拉雷多国际机场不远的地方。
“那场景就像电影里的一样,我当时都吓傻了。”赛拉·加尔萨说道,她是一名美容师,当时正载着同事下班回家,途经坠机现场。
暂无地面人员受伤的即时报告,但有五名警员因吸入烟雾被送往医院。
发布在社交媒体上的视频显示,飞机侧翻在路边,撞在高速公路护栏上。机尾从机身脱落,完整地落在救援现场下方的低等级道路上。
加尔萨在靠近现场时开始拍摄视频,随后将车停在起火的受损飞机对面。

她看到飞机内有人试图打破驾驶舱窗户逃生。很快,民众纷纷从车里出来,在机身火势持续蔓延的情况下,从外部砸击窗户。
加尔萨的丈夫从车上下来帮忙,随后加尔萨看到飞机舱门被打开。她说有三名看起来是青少年的人跑了出来,接着是一名疑似飞行员的人员。另一名机组人员试图将一名看似昏迷的人员拉出。
随着浓烟从飞机中涌出,一名消防员借助小梯子爬进飞机营救剩余乘客,其他人则用水管对着残骸喷水。可以听到救援人员呼喊着要绳索,还有人用铁棍撑住飞机舱门。
协助撑开门的警员数次从飞机旁撤离,因浓烈的烟雾弯腰剧烈咳嗽。
“当时我最担心的就是火势,”她说,“我担心它随时可能爆炸。”
这是三天内发生的第三起重大航空事故。周一,一架B-52轰炸机在加利福尼亚州爱德华兹空军基地试飞时坠毁,机上8人全部遇难;周日,密苏里州一架用于跳伞活动的飞机坠毁,造成12人死亡。
NetJets公司在一份声明中表示,此次坠毁事故涉及该公司的一架飞机,公司正配合当局调查。
“我们当下最关心的是机组人员、乘客及其家属的安危。我们已启动危机响应和家属支持团队,为受影响人员及其亲属提供帮助,并将派遣专家团队前往事故现场。”该公司说道。
NetJets由沃伦·巴菲特的伯克希尔哈撒韦公司所有,该公司允许客户购买私人飞机的部分所有权。

Dramatic rescue efforts after fiery small plane crash in Laredo, Texas, kills 1

A business jet with six people on board crashed on a highway in Laredo, Texas, and caught fire Tuesday night, authorities said, killing one person and causing chaos as people left their vehicles to frantically try to smash the cockpit window and free those inside.
Drivers who came upon the burning plane, which was nearly sheared in half and tipped on its side, captured dramatic rescue scenes on video or rushed toward the aircraft on foot to help. Two people came running with a sledgehammer and shovel they used to strike the cockpit glass and try propping open the plane’s door.
The plane crashed on the Loop 20 highway near the Texas-Mexico border shortly after 10 p.m., said Jose Baeza, an investigator with the Laredo Police Department. Laredo is some 140 miles southwest of San Antonio.
Laredo International Airport Director Gilberto Sanchez told CBS News in a statement that the airport got an alert at 9:58 p.m. local time saying a Cessna Citation was experiencing mechanical issues and was low on fuel.
He said it lost communication with the tower and crash-landed a few minutes later, a few miles from the airport.
One of those on the plane was pronounced dead at the scene, Sanchez said, and the other five were taken to local hospitals and were reported to be in stable condition.
The plane was heading for Austin, Texas, he said.
The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration both said they’re going to investigate. The FAA said the NTSB will take the lead.
Dashcam footage posted on social media showed the aircraft careening down the highway, taking out a light post before coming to a stop. It came to a rest not far from the Laredo International Airport.
“It looked like part of a movie. I was in shock,” said Zayra Garza, an esthetician who was driving her co-workers home when she came upon the crash.
No injuries on the ground were immediately reported, though five officers were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.
Video posted to social media showed the plane on its side, smashed into a highway barrier. The tail was ripped from the fuselage and laying mostly intact on a lower-level road beneath where the rescue was taking place.
Garza began shooting video as she approached the scene and then stopped her vehicle across from the crippled jet, which was on fire.

She saw someone inside the plane trying to break the cockpit window to escape. Soon, people got out of their vehicles to try to smash the window from the outside as the fire on the fuselage continued to burn.
Garza’s husband jumped out of their vehicle to help and Garza then saw the door of the plane open. She said three people who looked to be teenagers rushed out, followed by someone who appeared to be a pilot. Another member of the crew tried to pull out a person who seemed to be unconscious.
As smoke billowed from the plane, a firefighter used a small ladder to climb into the aircraft to rescue the remaining passenger, while others shot water out of a hose at the wreckage. Rescuers can be heard calling for a rope as others use rods to hold up the plane door.
Several times, officers helping prop open the door dart away from the plane and double over in coughing fits because of the intense smoke.
“What was worrying me was the fire,” she said. “I was concerned that it could have just exploded at any time.”
This was the third significant aviation accident in as many days. A B-52 bomber crashed Monday during a test flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California and killed all eight people aboard, while on Sunday, 12 people were killed when a plane on a skydiving outing in Missouri crashed.
NetJets said in a statement that the crash involved one of its aircraft and it is working with authorities.
“Our immediate concern is for the well-being of our Crewmembers, our passengers, and their families during this time. We are activating our crisis response and family support teams to support those affected and their loved ones, and we are deploying a team of experts to the site of the accident,” the company said.
NetJets is owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway and allows people to buy part ownership in private jets.
