There are around 1, 000 Boeing 777s in service, and the plane is a long-distance machine, travelling some of the longest routes. It entered service in 1995 and the National Transportation Safety Board, which is responsible for monitoring US-made aircraft, has recorded fewer than 60 incidents. 　　But the recent record hasn’t been exact with two major incidents—a crash at San Francisco airport in July, 2013, which causes three deaths, and the crash—landing of a British Airways 777 at Heathrow in January 2008. 　　To our sadness, in March, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 lost contact flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving an Asian Airlines flight at San Francisco International Airport in July, which occurred shortly before landing, while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar(雷达)during the early stages of the trip. 　　The accident at San Francisco in July was due 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. The BA crash landing, which did not result in any deaths, was finally found to have been caused by a block in the fuel line feeding the engine. 　　However, the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip. No exact explanations have been given for the Malaysia airlines plane crash. First 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 aircraft under his belt. 【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道, 主要介绍了近来波音飞机发生的一些事故。 1.
