然而马来西亚这次的飞行事故，与英航事故和7月份在旧金山国际机场的韩亚航空坠机事故非常不同。

Both the BA and Asiana accidents occurred shortly before landing, while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip.

英航和韩亚航空的事故都是发生在着陆前的一小段时间里，而马航失事客机的信号在航行不久便在雷达探测仪上消失了。

The accident at San Francisco in July was attributed to pilot error which led to the engines being set to idle because he believed the computer would maintain sufficient speed to keep the plane up in the air.

7月份旧金山的事故是由于飞行员的失误导致了引擎怠速，因为他认为电脑会自动控制速度保持飞机飞行。

But initial reports suggest that Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the 53-year-old Malaysian airlines pilot, was hugely experienced - having joined the carrier in 1981 and with 18,365 hours in the cockpit under his belt.

但是初期报道显示，马航失事飞机机长，53岁马来西亚籍的机长查哈里亚沙阿经验丰富——他在1981年加入马航，飞行时长为18365小时。

The BA crash landing, which did not result in any fatalities, was finally found to have been caused by a blockage in the fuel line feeding the engine.

英航的迫降事故没有造成任何伤亡，最后发现事故是由于引擎的燃料管线堵塞而引起的。
