What was the cause of the tragedy?
M:Did you hear about the air crash that occurred in South America recently? It was quite a tragic accident!
W:No, I didn’t see anything in the news about it.What happened?
M:A foreign airliner was attempting to land at night in a mountainous area in Argentina and flew into a hill!
W:That sounds really terrible! Did anyone survive?
M:No,everyone aboard,including the crew,was killed instantly.
W:What were the circumstances? Were they bad weather, a fire, or engine failure?
M:Apparently,there were some low clouds in the area,but mostly it was just miscommunication between the pilots and the air traffic controllers.
W:Weren’t they both speaking in English,the official international aviation language?
M:Yes they were,but the transition from poor quality radios was slightly distorted and the accents of the Spanish speaking controllers was so strong that the pilots misunderstood a vital instruction.
W:How could a misunderstanding like that cause such a serious accident?
M:The pilots were told to descend to 22,000 feet.The instruction actually meant 22,000 feet,but they thought they heard descend 2,000 feet.That’s a huge difference.and it should have been confirmed.but it was not.Unfortunately,the terrain of the mountains in Norweija ascend to 2,000 feet.
W:So the pilots did descend to the wrong altitude then,because they were following the air controller’s instructions.
M:Sadly enough,yes they did.It was a really bad mistake.Many people died as a result of the simply misunderstanding.
W:Wow,that’s a powerful lesson on how important it can be to accurately communicate with each other.
