 　　The flight engineer says, "Eh." in an astonished tone of voice.

　　飞行工程师以惊讶的音调说”啊？”

　　You can imagine them all thinking furiously, trying to square their assumption of where the plane is with what their instruments are telling them.

　　你能想象到他们有多么希望，飞机朝着他们预想中系统指示的正确位置着陆。

　　At 1:42:19, the first officer says, "Let's make a missed approach."

　　在1点42分19秒，副驾说：“我们复飞”。

　　He has finally upgraded from a hint to a crew obligation: he wants to abort¹ the landing.

　　他最后将暗示语气改成队友职责建议语气，他想阻止着陆。

　　Later in the crash investigation², it was determined³ that if he had seized control of the plane in that moment, there would have been enough time to pull up the nose and clear Nimitz Hill.

　　最后，调查显示，如果那个时刻由副驾开始主控飞机，他们将完全有足够的时间爬升并离开尼米兹山，

　　This is what first officers are trained to do when they believe that captain is clearly in the wrong.

　　副驾的职责就是在确认机长操作失误后立刻控制飞机。

　　But it is one thing to learn that in a classroom, and quite another to actually do it in the air,

　　但如果处于犯错就要挨打的情境下，

　　with someone who might rap you with the back of his hand if you make a mistake.

　　那么书本所学就与实际应用完全两样。

　　01:42:21. First officer: Not in sight. Missed approach. 01:42:22. Flight engineer: Go around.
