（１）釜山郊外で１６６人乗り中国旅客機墜落 生存者３９人
APRIL 16, 2002 09:42
釜山郊外の金海（キメ）国際空港に着陸しょうとしていた北京発金海行きの中国国際航空機が、１５日午前、付近の山に激突し、乗客・乗員１６６人のうち、１１５人が死亡、１２人が行方不明になったが、３９人が助かった事故直後、消防救助隊と警察が現場に直ちに出動して救助活動を行ったが、墜落地が山の中である上、雨が降るなど悪天候が続き、救助作業は難航した。１５日午前１１時２３分、中国国際航空ＣＡ１２９便（ボーイング７６７型機）が金海国際空港北側の慶尚（キョンサン）南道金海市池内洞（チネドン）にある神魚（シンオ）山中腹の標高３９０メートルのトッテ山に墜落した。
墜落機は、午前９時３７分北京を出発して午前１１時３５分に金海空港に到着する予定だった。墜落機には韓国人１３５人、中国人１９人、ウズベキスタン人１人の乗客１５５人と乗員１１人、合わせて１６６人が搭乗していた。目撃者によると、墜落機は高度を下げて低空飛行していたが、突然、炎上して墜落し爆発したという。墜落機から救助され金海聖母病院で治療を受けている韓国系中国人の金・ムンハク（３５、中国の吉林城）氏は「間もなく着陸するのでシートベルトを締めるようにというアナウンスが流れた直後、機体が急速に降下した」と話している。
▽事故現場 〓 トッテ山の頂上には飛行機の胴体の残骸が散らばっており、煙が激しく立ち上っていた。生存者は機体の外に跳ね出されたケースが多く、飛行機の胴体から担架で運び出された死亡者は火傷がひどかった。
事故現場では、慶尚南道と釜山（プサン）市消防本部所属の１１９救助隊員、警察、兵士ら１５００余人が救助作業を行ったが、濃霧や雨で救助作業ははかどらなかった。
▽事故原因 〓 金海空港の航空管制を担当する空軍第５戦術飛行団は、同日午前１１時２０分ごろ墜落機から着陸要請を受けて、当時の気象状況を調べた結果、着陸制限値を下回ったため、着陸を許可したと発表した。
空軍は、着陸制限値は雲の高さ７００フィート、視程２マイルであるが、当時の気象状況は雲の高さ１０００フィート、視程２．５マイルだったと説明した。空軍は、当時風が海から陸地に吹いており、墜落機は北側から着陸しようと、滑走路の西側を回って神魚山の方に旋回していた時に墜落したと推定している。
釜山航空庁と空軍の関係者は「墜落機は正常な着陸のためには、神魚山に到達する前に旋回しなければならない。しかし、神魚山中腹のトッテ山に激突していることから、旋回地点を誤って事故を起こしたものと推定される」と語った。
釜山航空庁は同日３時ごろ、墜落機のブラックボックスを回収し、正確な事故原因の究明に乗り出した。
▽病院への移送、救助活動 〓 救助された５０余人は、金海聖母病院など金海市内と釜山市内の病院で治療を受けている。収容した遺体もこれらの病院に安置された。
事故が発生すると慶尚南道は、道消防本部に状況室と事故収拾対策本部を設け、金海市に事故収拾のための現場指揮本部を設置した。また、中央１１９救助隊と慶尚北道、釜山、ソウルの消防本部のヘリコプターや特殊装備など１５０の消防装備を集めてて救助活動を行っている。
釜山市も事故支援対策本部を設け、１５人の医師からなる移動救急医療団を事故現場に急きょ派遣しするとともに、遺体を安置するため３８の病院の霊安室を確保した。
中国の反応 〓 中国政府は、国際航空公社所属の旅客機が初めて大規模な事故を起こしたことに戸惑いを隠せなかった。中国国際航空公社は事故直後、緊急対策会議を開き、関係者を現地に急きょ派遣した。同社のスポークスマンは「事態収拾のため最善を尽くす」と話した。
（２） Chinese Airlines Crashed in Kimhae, 39 Persons Rescued
APRIL 16, 2002 09:07
An Air China aircraft carrying 166 passengers and crews en route from
Beijing in the morning of April 15 crashed in a hilly region under bad
weather conditions as it was preparing to land in Kimhae Airport. More
than 100 people are reported to be death in that tragic accident
Immediately after the accident, firefighters and policemen were dispatched
to the crash site to rescue survivors, but the rescue operation faced
severe difficulties since the crash site is in the mountain, and rains
continued to fall.
Summary of the accident: An Air China International Boeing 767 passenger
aircraft with flight No. CA 129 crashed near the Kimhae Airport on the
slope of Mt. Dotdae, a height of 380 m, which is adjacent to Mt. Sinoe
behind Dongwon apartment, Jinae-Dong, Kimhae-Si, South Kyounsang Province
at 11:23 A.M. on April 15
A total of 166 people including 11 crews and 155 passengers, among them
135 Koreans, 19 Chinese, and an Uzbekistan were on board at the ill-destined
aircraft, but 54 persons among them were rescued as of 4:30 P.M. of
the day.
The crashed aircraft departed at 9:37 P.M from Beijing and expected
to arrive at Kimhae Airport at 11:35 A.M.
Eyewitnesses said that the aircraft was flying low when the rear part
of the passenger plane was on fire and the aircraft exploded when it
crashed.
A Korean of Chinese nationality, Kim Moon-Hak (35 years old, a resident
in Jilin Province of China), who was onboard the crashed aircraft and
now in medical care at Seongmo Hospital in Kimha said, "Immediately
after the announcement to fasten the seat belts to prepare for landing,
the aircraft suddenly plunged."
The crash site: At the site of Mt. Dotdae, the wreckages including the
main frame of the aircraft were scattered around in pieces, and the
scene was really gruesome with billowing smokes, and dead bodies and
wreckages are mingled each other.
The survivors were mainly tossed out of the airplane, and some who had
lost their lives in the aircraft were carried away with stretchers,
and were unrecognizable due to severe burning.
A total number of 1,500 firefighters, policemen, and soldiers including
several 119 rescue teams of South Kyoungsang Province and Pusan City
were dispatched to the crash site for rescue operation, but because
of adverse weather conditions with fogs and incessant rains, the rescue
operation was difficult to implement.
Estimated cause of the crash: According to the fifth Tactical Wing of
the Air Force that controls aircraft flights at Kimhae Airport, the
aircraft was allowed to land since the weather condition at that time
was below the limits of landing restriction when the Wing received a
landing request from the aircraft at around 11:20 A.M.
The Air Force explained that the weather at that time was tolerable
for landing with the cloud height of 1,000 feet, visibility of 2.5 miles,
which are below the limits of the landing restriction, being the cloud
height of 700 feet, and visibility of two miles.
The Air Force estimated that the aircraft was turning toward Mt. Sinoe
using the west side of the runway as a landmark so as to take position
for landing point since winds were blowing to land from sea.
According to some related persons of the Air Administration of Busan
and the Air Force, "The crashed aircraft should have turned its head
toward the runway just short of Mt. Sinoe for normal landing, but we
estimate the accident is caused by mistaking turning point in view of
its crash on Mt.Dotdae adjacent to Mt. Sinoe."
The Busan Air Administration recovered the black box of the crashed
airplane at three P.M. of the day and started to find out the precise
causes of the accident.
Transfer to hospitals and rescue operation: Rescued passengers numbering
50 have been under medical care in five hospitals including Kimhae Seongmo
Hospital and other regional hospitals in Busan. In addition, recovered
bodies are also taken to the hospitals. As the accident broke out, South
Kyoungsang provincial government established an emergency situation
room and a commanding center for accident management in the provincial
fire department, and also established an on-site commanding center.
Additionally, 150 firefighting equipments such as helicopters and specialized
equipment belonging to the central 119 rescue team, and North Kyoungsang
Province, Busan and Seoul firefight department have been hauled to support
the rescuer operation.
Busan Metropolitan Administration also established a rescue support
center and hurriedly dispatched mobile emergency medical team composed
of 15 doctors to the crash site and secured mortuaries of 38 hospitals
that can place 160 bodies.
Chinese reaction: Chinese government is apparently embarrassed at the
first major crash accident of a passenger aircraft of Air China International
Inc. The airlines took an emergency meeting to discuss the measures
immediately after the accident and dispatched experts to the crash site.
The airlines spokesperson said, "We will do our best to counter the
crisis," and added, "We will inform the accident to all the families
of victims."
