ユナイテッド航空の旅客機が操縦室の窓に亀裂を生じ、緊急着陸を余儀なくされた事案について、その原因となったとみられる謎の物体は、気象観測用の気球であった可能性が高いことが新たに判明した。
The mysterious object believed to have caused a crack in the cockpit window of a United Airlines passenger plane, forcing it to make an emergency landing, has recently been found to most likely be a weather observation balloon.
。
On June 20, Windborne, a startup company based in California, USA, announced that it is highly likely that one of its weather observation balloons collided with the aforementioned aircraft.
。
This company is focused on advanced weather forecasting and atmospheric data collection as its core business.
。
United Airlines Flight 1093 a Boeing 737 was a flight from Denver to Los Angeles carrying 134 passengers and 6 crew members, but was forced to make an emergency landing in Utah on the 17th.

着陸時には副操縦士が軽傷を負い、ソルトレークシティー消防局の発表によれば、現地で治療を受けたとのことである。
During the landing, the co-pilot sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene, according to a statement from the Salt Lake City Fire Department.
。
Windborne stated that it is fully cooperating with the National Transportation Safety Board NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration FAA during the course of the investigation.
。
Additionally, the company also took measures to minimize the amount of time spent at altitudes between 30,000 feet approximately 9,140 meters and 40,000 feet.
。
Furthermore, the company is enhancing its automatic collision avoidance system by utilizing real-time flight data, even when the aircraft is outside standard altitudes, and at the same time has begun developing new hardware to reduce the scale and intensity of collisions.
。
According to the flight tracking site FlightAware, the plane involved in the accident was subsequently transferred to Rockford, Illinois, where United Airlines performed maintenance on the Boeing 737 aircraft.
