CENTCOM has now just confirmed that four crew members were killed when a US Military refueling aircraft crashed in Iraq.

美國中央司令部（CENTCOM）剛剛證實，一架美國軍方加油機在伊拉克墜毀，造成四名機組人員死亡。

轉承詞

Rescue efforts, we're told, are ongoing to try to locate the other two crew members because of the crash under investigation.

據我們所知，由於墜機事故正在調查中，搜救行動仍在進行，希望能找到另外兩名機組人員。

But the Pentagon has already said though that it was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

不過五角大廈已經表示，這並非敵火或友軍誤擊所致。

That means at least 11 US troops have now been killed in the war with Iran, a conflict now entering day 14.

這意味著，在與伊朗的戰爭中，至少有11名美軍人員已經喪生，這場衝突現在進入了第14天。

And all eyes remain on the Strait of Hormuz, that critical, that critical shipping channel.

而所有人的目光仍然聚焦在荷姆茲海峽，那個關鍵、那個關鍵的航運通道。

Iran has stepped up attacks there on commercial ships.

伊朗在那裡加強了對商船的攻擊。

New this morning, as I was just speaking about with the congressman, President Trump is telling Fox News that the US Military would escort ships through the strait if needed.

今早最新消息，就像我剛才和議員談到的，川普總統告訴福斯新聞，如果需要，美國軍方將護送船隻通過海峽。

But quote, we're going to see what happens.

And he also said that the US Is going to be hitting Iran, quote, unquote, very hard over the next week.

他還說，美國接下來一週將會「狠狠地」打擊伊朗。

CNN's Natasha Bertrand has new and important reporting live from Washington for us this morning.

CNN 的 Natasha Bertrand 正在華盛頓為我們帶來最新、重要的報導。

Natasha, what are you expecting to hear from this briefing or what questions they're likely to get this morning?

Natasha，你預計從這次簡報中聽到什麼，或者他們今天早上可能會被問到哪些問題？

Well, they're likely to get a lot of questions of course about this incident that occurred yesterday where KC135 fueling tanker crashed after colliding, it appears with another tanker which ultimately landed safely in Israel.

嗯，他們很可能會被問到很多關於昨天發生的事件的問題，當時一架 KC135 燃料補給機在似乎與另一架安全降落在以色列的補給機相撞後墜毀。

But there was, you know, are a lot of questions surrounding centcom's statements which they, in which they said that this was not due to hostile fire or friendly fire because an Iranian proxy group based in Iraq has now come out and taken responsibility for downing that aircraft.

但你知道，圍繞 CENTCOM 的聲明有很多疑問，他們在聲明中表示，這不是由於敵方火力或友方火力造成的，因為一個位於伊拉克的伊朗代理組織現在已經出面承認擊落了這架飛機。

Of course they did not provide evidence but these proxy groups, they do have surface to air missiles.

當然，他們沒有提供證據，但這些代理組織確實擁有地對空導彈。

And so it's possible, for example, that what happened was these tankers were trying to evade a missile or perhaps this was just an incident of a mid air collision of these tankers just flying too closely together.

所以，例如，有可能這些補給機當時正試圖躲避導彈，或者這只是兩架補給機在空中飛得太近而發生碰撞的意外。

I mean there's so many possibilities here.

我的意思是，這裡的可能性太多了。

But the bottom line is that four US Servicemembers are now confirmed to be dead.

但底線是，有四名美國服役人員已被確認死亡。

Two others, apparently the search is ongoing for them, unclear what their whereabouts and their condition is as of this moment.

另外兩人，顯然仍在搜救中，截至目前，他們的下落和狀況尚不清楚。

I also want to address the tragic loss of our KC135 refueling aircraft yesterday.

我也想談談昨天我們 KC135 燃料補給機的悲慘損失。

The incident occurred over friendly territory in western Iraq while the crew was on a combat mission and again was not the result, as CENTCOM has said, was not the result of hostile or friendly fire.

這起事件發生在伊拉克西部友軍領土上，當時機組人員正在執行作戰任務，而且正如CENTCOM所說，這並非敵方或友軍火力造成的結果。

We're still treating this as an active rescue and recovery operation.

我們仍然將此視為一項積極的搜救和遺體尋回行動。

As CENTCOM announced this morning, four airmen have been recovered and the Air Force and US Central Command will provide updates as Information becomes available.

正如CENTCOM今天早上宣佈的，有四名空軍人員已被尋獲，空軍和美國中央司令部將在有進一步資訊時提供更新。

Please keep these brave airmen, their families, friends and units in your thoughts in the coming hours and days.

在接下來的幾小時和幾天裡，請為這些勇敢的空軍人員、他們的家人、朋友和部隊獻上您的思念。

Our service members make an incredible sacrifice to go forward and do the things that the nation asks of them them.

我們的服役人員做出了難以置信的犧牲，去執行國家交付給他們的任務。

It's a reminder of the true cost of the dedication and commitment of the joint force.

這提醒了我們聯合作戰的奉獻和承諾所付出的真實代價。

U.S. central Command just confirmed the death of four service members in the war with Iran.

美國中央司令部剛剛證實了在與伊朗的戰爭中有四名服役人員喪生。

The four fallen Americans are crew members of a refueling aircraft that went down in western Iraq yesterday.

這四名陣亡的美國人是昨天在伊拉克西部墜毀的一架加油機的機組人員。

Central Command is saying that rescue efforts continue for two others on board.

中央司令部表示，機上另外兩人的搜救行動仍在持續。

They say the incident was not due to hostile or friendly fire.

他們說這起事件並非由於敵方或友軍火力所致。

Joining me now to discuss, CNN military analyst and retired U.S. air Force Colonel Cedric Layton.

現在加入我們討論的是 CNN 軍事分析師、已退休的美國空軍上校 Cedric Layton。

Colonel Layton, I want to get your help making sense of this.

Layton 上校，我想請您幫我們釐清這件事。

So what we know is it's a Casey 135 to four dead, two missing.

所以我們知道的是，這是一架 KC135，造成四人死亡，兩人失蹤。

What do you make of this claim of it not being hostile, not being friendly?

你怎麼看待這「非敵方、非友軍」的說法？

Yes, so basically what was happening here, Audi, is that this was a refueling operation where one of the tankers was refue another tanker.

是的，基本上 Audi，當時的情況是，這是一次空中加油任務，其中一架加油機正在為另一架加油機加油。

So there is a variant of the KC135 as we see here in this picture, that can actually take fuel from another KC135.

所以我們在這裡看到的這張照片，KC135 有一個變體，它可以從另一架 KC135 接收燃料。

That aircraft, the one that was taking fuel, is apparently the one that landed safely back in Israel at Ben Gurion Airport.

據說，正在接收燃料的那架飛機，就是安全降落在以色列本古裡安機場的那架。

The one that crashed was apparently the one that was dispensing fuel to that other KC135, the one that landed in Israel, apparently, according to reporting from planespotters, had damage to what's called its vertical stabilizer.

根據 planespotters 的報導，墜毀的那架據說是在為另一架 KC135 加油，也就是降落在以色列的那架，據說它的垂直穩定器有損壞。

That's basically the tail fin that you see, that's vertical in the back of the aircraft, in the rear of the aircraft.

那就是你看到的尾翼，就是飛機後方、機尾的垂直部分。

I want people to know that these aren't images from that plane, but

我希望大家知道，這些不是那架飛機的影像，而是

this is what it would look like, correct?

這就是它會是什麼樣子，對嗎？

The refueling operation is a very intricate affair.

空中加油作業是一件非常複雜的事情。

And what these refuelers do is you can see that boom coming down to the other aircraft, to the fighter that's being refueled there.

這些加油機所做的，你可以看到那個吊桿降到另一架飛機上，就是正在接受加油的戰鬥機。

燃料就是從那個吊桿輸送到位的。

Think of it as the gas tank gets the hose from the gas pump into your gas tank.

你可以想像成，油箱接到加油機的油管，然後注入到你的油箱裡。

So this is basically doing what you do for your car in the air.

所以這基本上就是在空中為你的汽車加油。

And those aircraft have to maintain a constant speed and it has to be the same speed while they're conducting that refueling operation.

而且這些飛機在進行空中加油作業時，必須保持相同的速度。

So this is a very complex task and it is one of those tasks that where a lot can go wrong very quickly.

這是一項非常複雜的任務，而且很容易出錯。

And that's why the training for this is usually quite rigorous.

這也是為什麼相關訓練通常都非常嚴格的原因。

What are you going to be listening for in terms of this rescue effort?

在這次救援行動中，你會注意些什麼？

So this is, you know, don't, you know, it is one of those things where we have to be very careful with what can happen next.

所以，你知道，我們必須非常小心接下來可能發生的事情。

But these accidents are often quite tragic, and

但這些意外往往非常悲慘，而且

it is, you know, unlikely, unfortunately, that the other two crew members will be found alive.

不幸的是，另外兩名機組人員生還的機會渺茫。

These crash scenes are terrible crash scenes.

What you will see in most of them is a wide field of debris that, you know, is very hard, if not impossible to survive.

你們在大多數墜機現場看到的，都是一大片散落的殘骸，那種情況，如果不是不可能，生還的機率非常非常低。

So this is a, you know, it's a tough effort.

所以這是一項，你知道，非常艱難的任務。

The crews that are conducting these recovery operations are well trained in these areas, and

執行這些搜救行動的團隊，在這些區域都受過嚴格訓練，而且

they are basically conducting the same kind of investigation that you would find with the NT when there's a civilian aircraft that crashes here in the United States.

他們基本上是在進行和美國發生民航機墜機時，國家運輸安全委員會（NTSB）會做的相同調查。

Right now, just four are confirmed dead now.

And we should be clear today the Defense Secretary will be speaking.

我們也應該清楚，國防部長今天將會發表談話。

Colonel Layton, thank you for being with us.

萊頓上校，謝謝你接受我們的訪問。

And as we saw yesterday with the tragic crash of our KC135 tanker, bad things can happen.

而就像我們昨天看到我們KC135加油機的悲慘墜毀一樣，壞事還是可能發生。

American heroes, all of them, I ask that we remember our fallen and those participating in the recovery operations to bring home our lost KC135 crew.

這些都是美國英雄，我請求大家記得我們犧牲的袍澤，以及那些參與救援行動，要將我們失聯的KC135機組人員帶回家的人。

That we keep those service members and their families in their thoughts and prayers.

我們將這些服役人員和他們的家人放在心上，為他們祈禱。

那是非常、非常、非常艱難的日子。

When that knock comes on the door for people on both sides of the door confirmed deceased.

當那敲門聲響起，門的兩邊都是確認死亡的人。

They say that this was as a part of a crash of a refueling tanker.

他們說這是加油機墜毀的一部分。

Six people were on board at the time of the crash in western Iraq.

在伊拉克西部墜毀時，機上有六人。

They say that rescue efforts are still continuing and an investigation into what exactly happened is continuing.

他們說，搜救行動仍在持續，並且正在調查確切的發生原因。

At this point, they are withholding the names of those individuals for 24 hours until the next of kin have been notified.

目前，他們暫不公佈這些人員的姓名，會先保留24小時，直到通知到家屬為止。

Now, what they have said as well is that it, quote, is not due to hostile fire or friendly fire.

他們也說，引述，這起事件並非由於敵方火力或友軍火力所致。

So at this point, it's unclear exactly what happened to this tanker.

所以目前還不清楚這架加油機究竟發生了什麼事。

The KC135 refueling aircraft, these kind of aircraft are key to the.

KC135 加油機，這類型的飛機對於。

The war effort by the United States States.

And certainly we will be waiting to hear any more details from US Central Command, but

當然，我們會持續關注美國中央司令部提供的更多細節，但

at this point, they have confirmed that four of the six crew members of this refueling tanker have been confirmed dead.

目前，他們已證實這架加油機上的六名機組人員中，已有四人確定罹難。

We're going to be learning more about this today.

今天我們會瞭解更多相關資訊。
