  Plane Crashes on Takeoff in Madrid
  BERLIN, Aug. 20 --
  A Spanish passenger jet aborted its takeoff, skidded off the runway and exploded into flames at Madrid's Barajas airport Wednesday. Government officials put the death toll at more than 150, making it Europe's worst airplane disaster in two decades.
  Spanair Flight 5022 was packed with vacationers bound for Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, normally a three-hour flight. After a 90-minute delay, the MD-82 single-aisle aircraft, with 172 passengers and crew, tried to take off about 2:45 p.m. But it barely cleared the ground before crashing at the end of the runway and breaking into pieces, officials and witnesses said.
  The crash was believed to have been the deadliest aviation incident in Europe since Pan Am Flight 103 was blown apart by a bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland, on Dec. 21, 1988, killing 270 people.

  Pan Am Flight 103洛克比空难
  洛克比空难发生于1988年12月21日。当日,泛美航空103号班机执行法兰克福-伦敦-纽约-底特律航线。它成为恐怖袭击目标,飞机在苏格兰边境小镇洛克比(Lockerbie)上空爆炸,270人罹难。
  这次炸弹袭击被视为一次对美国象征的袭击,是九一一袭击事件发生前最严重的恐怖活动。此次事件亦重挫泛美航空的营运,该公司在空难发生的三年之后宣告破产。
  PA103A航班在德国黑森州法兰克福起飞,前往伦敦希斯路机场。乘客在那里转机,然后乘PA103航班继续旅程,飞往纽约肯尼迪国际机场。在炸弹袭击当晚飞伦敦至纽约一段的客机属波音747-121型,机身编号N739PA,命名为“海之侍女快帆号”(Clipper Maid of the Seas),是波音为泛美制造的第15架747客机,于1970年2月交货。
  在格林威治时间19:03、飞机起飞后38分钟、才进入苏格兰领空数分钟,飞行于空层310(9100米/31000呎)时,前货物舱(41段)里约280至400克塑胶炸药被引爆,触发起连串事件,令飞机迅速毁灭。
