險釀事故 空管睡着致東航MU2528復飛

A Chinese aircraft was forced to delay its landing after two air traffic controllers nodded off, reports said Tuesday, sparking a wave of online anger about airline safety.
本週二消息，兩名空管打瞌睡導致一架中國飛機被迫延遲降落，此事引起網上對航空安全的憤慨。

The Boeing 737 was preparing to land at Wuhan airport in central China but had no response from the air traffic control tower for 12 minutes, reports said.
報道稱，這架波音737客機預備在武漢機場降落時，連續12分鐘無法從空管塔臺收到任何迴應。

Contact was eventually made and China Eastern Airlines flight MU2528 from Sanya landed safely, the news portal said.
新浪新聞稱雙方最後恢復聯絡，這架從三亞出發的東方航空MU2528航班終於安全降落。

"Because air traffic control was asleep on duty, (the plane) called many times," civil aviation authorities said in a statement,"but there was no reply, and no contact could be made with the control tower."
民航管理局在聲明中指出，“因塔臺管制員在崗位上睡着，多次呼叫無人應答，未能與塔臺建立聯繫。”

The incident happened on July 8 and the statement was dated July 29.
這一事件發生在7月8日，聲明於7月29日發佈。
