初步报告:飞机出现技术问题
据伊朗国家电视台报道,当地时间1月8日晚间,伊朗坠机事故调查组公布乌克兰飞机坠毁的初步报告。报告内容提到:当天早晨,飞机起飞后,飞至8000英尺(约2400米)的高度时,飞机数据从雷达上消失,随即飞机从高空坠毁。飞行员未收到有关异常情况的无线电消息。
据目击者称,当时飞机下落时正在着火,最后与地面相撞时发生爆炸。
飞机的路线表明,飞机最初从机场边界向西行驶,在出现技术问题后向右转,并在坠机事故发生时正试图返回机场。
伊朗民航组织负责人阿里·阿贝扎德表示,包括飞行数据记录器和座舱语音记录器在内的黑匣子已找到,并已交付调查组,并已送往安全地点。由于起火,两个设备都有损坏。受到物理损坏后,两个设备的内存均可用。
