播音员：1987年12月7日，太平洋西南航空公司1771航班从洛杉矶飞往旧金山，在飞行途中发生枪击事件，导致飞机坠毁，机上43人全部遇难。事件调查显示，枪击事件并非意外，而是蓄意犯罪行为。 Courtney Fretwell: 本期节目将深入探讨这起事件，讲述大卫·伯克因被美国航空公司解雇后怀恨在心，最终导致这起惨剧的经过。他利用之前的员工证件绕过安检，携带枪支登上飞机，枪杀了他的前上司和其他机组人员，导致飞机坠毁。法医证据证实了大卫·伯克是罪魁祸首。 事件调查还显示，大卫·伯克在飞机坠毁前还活着，最后的枪声很可能是射向试图控制飞机的道格拉斯·亚瑟。大卫·伯克选择在飞机坠毁时死去，而不是自杀。 这起事件也促使了航空安全政策的改革，包括加强员工证件管理和提高安检标准，许多公司也修改了内部差旅政策，以避免类似事件再次发生。 Courtney Fretwell: 尽管飞机失事概率很低，但人们对飞机失事的恐惧是真实存在的。这起事件中，调查人员在坠机现场发现了枪支残骸和一张字条，证实了这是一起蓄意犯罪行为。法医鉴定发现枪支扳机上残留着大卫·伯克的指纹和部分指尖，进一步证实了大卫·伯克是凶手。大卫·伯克的家人对调查结果提出了质疑，并为其辩护，但法医证据确凿地证明了大卫·伯克的罪行。这起事件是一场悲剧，大卫·伯克的行为导致了42名无辜者的死亡，也给航空安全敲响了警钟。

Shownotes Transcript

#038 - On December 7, 1987, Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 1771, carrying 38 passengers and 5 crew members, departed from Los Angeles for what should have been a short flight to San Francisco.

Moments after reaching the standard cruising altitude of 22,000 feet, the pilots inside the aircraft signaled distress, telling air traffic controllers that shots had been fired. The airplane was sent falling down to the ground almost breaking the speed of sound. All 43 people on board Flight 1771 were killed. **Was this some tragic accident, a malfunction in the aircraft? Or did someone intentionally cause that PSA flight to crash?
