簡單整理:
1. 整段行程是Malabo飛往Douala然後再飛往Paris CDG, 發生狀況的時候是在
   Malabo往Douala這一段.
2. 為了避開壞的天氣, 所以divert往北飛, 新的航路卻是直接飛往喀麥隆火山
   (Mount Cameroom), 這座火山是中非最高峰, 標高4,040m (13,254 ft)
3. 班機當時高度是9,000 ft, 觸發了地面迫近警告系統的"Pull UP"警告,
   機組員立刻拉高到13,000 ft, 避開了災難.
4. 機型為B772, 機上有37人, 連結內的地圖標註有兩座城市跟火山的位置.

註:
我知道許多版友對於"險些"這詞很敏感, 原文是"narrowly missed", 如果有更好的
翻譯, 我願意更改標題.

Air France flight AF953 misses Cameroon mountain

An Air France aeroplane narrowly missed central Africa's highest mountain in
early May, French investigators say.

Flight AF953 was travelling from Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea, to
Douala, Cameroon's largest city and commercial capital, when it hit bad
weather on 2 May.

While avoiding storm clouds, the plane came close to hitting the 4,040-metre
(13,254 feet) Mount Cameroon.

French accident investigators BEA have now opened an investigation.

The Boeing 777 aircraft had 37 people on board as it made the short journey
to Douala, which is around 100km (62 miles) from Malabo.

It was due to arrive in Cameroon to pick up more passengers before continuing
to Paris.

After diverting north to avoid storm clouds shortly after 21:00 local time,
the plane's new route to Douala took it directly towards the mountain.

An initial incident report published by BEA said an automated warning, saying
"Pull up", was activated. The plane then ascended quickly from 9,000ft
(2,743m) to 13,000ft (3,962m) to avoid crashing.

BEA did not say how close the plane came to Mount Cameroon.

The flight landed 44 minutes after leaving Malabo, and no-one was injured.

Air France said they were conducting an internal investigation into the
incident.
