A Chinese aircraft was forced to delay its landing after two air traffic controllers nodded off, reports said Tuesday, sparking a wave of online anger about airline safety.
本周二消息，兩名空管打瞌睡導(dǎo)致一架中國(guó)飛機(jī)被迫延遲降落，此事引起網(wǎng)上對(duì)航空安全的憤慨。

The Boeing 737 was preparing to land at Wuhan airport in central China but had no response from the air traffic control tower for 12 minutes, reports said.

Contact was eventually made and China Eastern Airlines flight MU2528 from Sanya landed safely, the news portal said.
新浪新聞稱雙方最后恢復(fù)聯(lián)絡(luò)，這架從三亞出發(fā)的東方航空MU2528航班終于安全降落。

"Because air traffic control was asleep on duty, (the plane) called many times," civil aviation authorities said in a statement,"but there was no reply, and no contact could be made with the control tower."
民航管理局在聲明中指出，“因塔臺(tái)管制員在崗位上睡著，多次呼叫無(wú)人應(yīng)答，未能與塔臺(tái)建立聯(lián)系?！?/div>
