2005年1月26日凌晨,驻伊拉克美军1架CH-53E“超级种马”直升机在伊拉克西部沙漠坠毁,机上31人遇难。这是美海军陆战队自1983年在黎巴嫩贝鲁特军营遭自杀性袭击以来,一次死亡人数最多的事件。虽然美军对这起事故的原因遮遮掩掩,但一个不争的事实是,“超级种马”太老了。44年前,美国海军陆战队选择了它。在事故发生前,美海军陆战队共装备有151架CH-53E。自1981年以来,CH-53型直升飞机已发生过35次重大事故,平均飞行10万小时就会出现3．2次重大事故。看来,是到了为“超级种马”寻找接班“马”的时候了。
In the early hours of January 26, 2005, a CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter in Iraq crashed in the western desert of Iraq, killing 31 people on the plane. This is the single-largest death toll since the U.S. Marines took a suicide attack in Beirut in Lebanon in 1983. Although the cause of the accident was secretively concealed by the U.S. military, it is an indisputable fact that the Super Stallion is too old. 44 years ago, the United States Marine Corps chose it. Before the accident, the United States Marine Corps equipped with a total of 151 CH-53E. Since 1981, 35 major accidents have occurred in the CH-53 helicopter, causing an average of 3.2 major accidents in an average of 100,000 hours. It seems that it is time to find a successor horse for the Super Stallion.
