美聯(lián)航悍然啟用911失事航班編號

????航空公司通常會停止使用墜毀航班的編號，但今年5月，聯(lián)合航空公司（United Airlines）做出了一項錯誤決定，恢復(fù)使用聯(lián)航93號航班與聯(lián)航175號航班編號。這兩架航班在911事件中被劫持，并最終墜毀，它們的編號成為這家航空公司最著名的失事航班編號。

????之后，聯(lián)合航空公司很快致歉，并在這兩個航班恢復(fù)飛行之前取消了這兩個編號。公司表示，在聯(lián)合航空公司與大陸航空公司（Continental Airlines）合并之后，需要對航班編號進(jìn)行統(tǒng)一，所有編號均是由計算機(jī)自動生成。

????聯(lián)航93號航班因同名電影而出名。這架航班在賓夕法尼亞州尚克斯維爾鎮(zhèn)墜毀。飛機(jī)墜毀之前，機(jī)上的乘客重新奪取了飛機(jī)控制權(quán)?！死锼?伊西多爾

United Airlines' unfortunate flight numbers

????Airlines typically retire the number of any flight that ends in a crash. But in May, United Airlines mistakenly brought back the numbers of its two most famous crashes -- United 93 and United 175, the airline's flights that were hijacked on Sept. 11.

????United quickly apologized and immediately removed the numbers before any of the flights got close to taking off. It said the numbers had been generated by a computer as it aligned flight numbers between United and Continental Airlines following the merger.

????United 93 achieved a lasting recognition from the movie of the same name about the passengers who regained control of the flight before it crashed into Shanksville, Pa. -- Chris Isidore
