【英语国际】美空乘人员骂完乘客从紧急滑梯“逃生”

A flight attendant, upset because a passenger refused to apologize after accidentally striking him with luggage, allegedly spewed obscenities over an airplane's PA system and then activated and slid down the emergency escape chute before disappearing into a terminal at John F. Kennedy Airport Monday, an airport official said.

Shortly after JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh taxied to a stop at Terminal 5, Gate C around noon on Monday, flight attendant Steven Slater, 38 years old, was struck in the head with the luggage a passenger was trying to unload from an overhead compartment, according to an airport official with knowledge of the incident.

Mr. Slater demanded an apology from the passenger, but the passenger refused to give one. The two argued back and forth before the passenger directed an expletive at Mr. Slater, the official said.

Mr. Slater then got on the plane's PA system and directed the same obscenity at all the passengers, and added that he especially meant it for the man who refused to apologize, the official said.

Mr. Slater is then alleged to have activated the inflatable emergency slide, grabbed two beers from the flight attendant's galley and slid down the chute, the official said.

The attendant then ran into the terminal, the official said, and made his way to his car and drove to his residence in Belle Harbor, in Queens.

The airport official said JetBlue officials waited until about 25 minutes after the chute was deployed before they notified Port Authority Police, which enabled Mr. Slater to make the getaway.

纽约肯尼迪机场(John F. Kennedy Airport)的一名官员周一说，一名乘客无意中用行李撞到一名空乘员，之后拒绝道歉，这名空乘员盛怒之下对着飞机的广播系统大骂，然后启动了紧急逃生滑梯，顺着滑了下去，之后消失在机场的一座候机楼。

Associated Press斯莱特在周二晚间获得保释据了解事情经过的一名机场官员说，周一中午前后，在从匹兹堡起飞的捷蓝航空(JetBlue) 1052航班停靠在5号候机楼C登机口后不久，现年38岁的空乘员斯莱特(Steven Slater)被一名试图从行李架上取行李的乘客用行李撞到了头部。

斯莱特要求乘客道歉，但乘客拒绝了。这位官员说，两人发生了争执，之后乘客骂了斯莱特。

这位官员说，斯莱特随后打开飞机的广播系统，向所有的乘客大骂，并说他尤其针对那个拒绝道歉的人。

这位官员说，据说斯莱特之后启动了紧急充气滑梯，从空乘员间里拿了两瓶啤酒，然后滑下了滑梯。

上述官员说，斯莱特随后跑进了候机楼，到了自己停放的汽车前，开到了他位于皇后区Belle Harbor的住所。

上述机场官员说，捷蓝飞机上的人员直到滑梯放下约25分钟之后才通知港务局警察(Port Authority Police)，致使斯莱特得以跑掉。
