中항공기 천태만상…조종석 인증샷 찍은 여성 적발
해당 여객기 기장·승무원에 '평생 비행 금지' 조치중국에서 민간인 통제 구역인 여객기 조종석에 앉아 사진을 찍은 민간 여성이 적발돼 큰 파문이 일고 있다.조종석은 승객의 안전과 직결된 곳이라 이곳에 민간인이 들어갔다는 자체가 큰 안전사고로 이어질 수 있기 때문이다.4일 신경보(新京報) 등에 따르면 중국 네티즌은 전날 민간인 복장의 한 여성이 여객기 조종석에 앉아 'V'자 손가락을 흔들며 찍은 사진을 찾아낸 뒤 웨이보(微博·중국판 트위터)에 올리며 비난을 쏟아냈다. 이 여성은 조종석 기장 좌석에 앉아 물컵과 찻그릇을 앞에 두고 웃으면서 사진을 찍었고 '기장에게 정말 고맙다'라는 문구도 남겼다.네티즌의 항의에 중국 항공 당국이 신속조사를 벌인 결과, 문제의 여객기를 운항하고 있는 곳은 구이린(桂林)항공으로 밝혀졌다.구이린-양저우(揚州) 왕복 여객기로 이 여성을 조종석으로 데려왔던 구이린 항공 기장과 승무원들은 모두 평생 비행 금지라는 엄벌에 처해졌다.중국 국가

손흥민, 백태클로 EPL서 두번째 퇴장…빛바랜 시즌 3호 도움
손흥민(27·토트넘 홋스퍼)이 올 시즌 3호 도움을 기록했으나 깊은 백태클로 잉글랜드 프리미어리그(EPL) 진출 이후 두 번째 퇴장을 당했다.토트넘은 4일 오전(한국시간) 영국 리버풀 구디슨 파크에서 열린 2019~2020시즌 프리미어리그 11라운드 에버턴과 원정 경기에서 1-1로 비겼다.토트넘은 최전방에 루카스 모라를 배치했고, 선발 출전한 손흥민은 크리스티안 에릭센, 델리 알리와 함께 2선에서 뛰면서 오른쪽 측면을 책임졌다. 토트넘은 전반에 유효 슈팅을 하나도 기록하지 못하고 슈팅 시도도 두 차례에 불과했을 정도로 답답한 흐름을 이어갔다.후반 들어 손흥민은 모라와 자리를 바꿔 최전방에서 토트넘의 공격을 이끌었다.후반 6분 페널티박스 안 왼쪽을 파고든 손흥민이 에버턴 수비수 예리 미나의 다리에 걸려 넘어졌지만, 주심은 비디오판독(VAR)을 거친 뒤 페널티킥을 선언하지는 않았다.후반 18분 마침내 토트넘이 선제골을 터트렸다. 미드필드 진영에서 상대가 패스 실수한 공을 가
