想要点加班费。
（北京时间）今天中午，不少外媒报道了这样一件事，让人既后怕又匪夷所思：
美国迈阿密机场的一名飞机维修工，涉嫌篡改一架客机的关键部件。
而这架飞机，即将载150名乘客升空。

据NBC报道，他用来完成伎俩的“作案工具”，是一块泡沫……
Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani, who worked in aircraft maintenance at the American Airlines hangar at Miami International Airport, is charged with willfully damaging, destroying, disabling or wrecking an aircraft, and attempting to do so, according to court documents.
据法庭文件显示，阿卜杜勒-马吉德•马鲁夫•艾哈迈德•阿拉尼被控试图故意损毁破坏飞机、使飞机失去功能。阿拉尼曾在迈阿密国际机场的美国航空公司机库从事飞机维修工作。
He allegedly used super glue to attach a piece of foam into an inlet on the air data module, which reports information like an aircraft’s speed, pitch and other data, according to the document.
据称，他使用强力胶将一块泡沫粘在飞机的大气数据组件的一个入口上，该组件报告飞机的速度、螺距和其他数据等信息。

虽然伎俩看上去有些“简单”，但可能引发的后果却极为严重。
据当地的《迈阿密论坛报》报道，如果这架飞机真地载着乘客升了空，许多关键的数据丢失或发生偏差，飞机又如何能正确安全地飞行？
...air data module...is a system that reports aircraft speed, pitch and other critical flight data. As a result, if the plane had taken off that day from MIA, the pilots would have had to operate the aircraft manually because the ADM system would not have received any computer data.
大气数据组件是一个报告飞机速度、螺距和其他关键飞行数据的系统。因此，如果飞机当天从真从迈阿密起飞了，飞行员将不得不手动操作飞机，因为大气数据组件系统无法收到任何计算机的数据。

而做了一切、险些酿成重大事故的罪魁祸首阿拉尼，他的肇事动机却仅仅为：想要加班费。
Alani insisted he was not trying to harm the aircraft or its passengers – he had only messed with the module “in order to cause a delay or have the flight canceled in anticipation of obtaining overtime work,” according to the arrest affidavit. The disgruntled mechanic was “upset” over contract negotiations between American Airlines and the mechanics’ union, a struggle that has lasted for years and which he said “affected him financially.”
在逮捕证词中阿拉尼坚称，他并没有想伤害飞机或乘客——他只是“试图造成航班延误或取消，以便获得加班（工资）”。这名飞机维修工说，他对美国航空公司和机修工工会之间的合同谈判感到“沮丧”，因为这场斗争已经持续了多年，“影响了他的经济状况”。

……仅仅因为这，就能枉顾150名乘客和机组人员的生命安全？
所幸，由于发现及时，这架飞机的航班被临时取消，并没有人员因此伤亡。("...never left for the scheduled July 17 flight from Miami to Nassau in the Bahamas after flight crew noticed an error related to the "air data module" and called it off." - CNBC)
但阿拉尼本人，依然逃脱不了法律的制裁。他需要为他的可怕行为付出代价：
...surveillance footage...showed him accessing a compartment on the aircraft where the navigational system was located and fiddling around with it for about seven minutes. If convicted of the sabotage, Alani faces 20 years in prison.
监控录像显示，他曾进入飞机上一个装有导航系统的隔间，摆弄了大约七分钟。如果罪名成立，阿拉尼将面临20年监禁。

员工对公司的抗议，在美国并不鲜见。麦当劳雇员就经常组织游行活动，抗议麦当劳工资过低、管理层对员工性骚扰等。
但是，用这样一种极端的、卑劣的方式来表达自己的不满，甚至为了加班费不惜搭上百余人的性命……
那也太可怕了。
