吴仕豪:初步调查显示冯伟衷被后移炮管碾伤

武装部队召开新闻发布会,陆军总长吴仕豪少将告诉媒体,根据武装部队初步调查结果显示,本地艺人冯伟衷是在维修155毫米榴弹自走炮炮管时,被移动的炮管困在炮车内部,并碾压至重伤。 陆军部队也决定,即日起暂停所有高风险军训,武装部队也将全面降低军训密集度,把更多精力放到军训安全上。 吴仕豪少将说,冯伟衷是经训练的军备技术员,负责维修自走炮。事发时,他和另一名技术员和一名炮塔指挥官在场,为炮管故障进行检查。 “为了给炮管进行维修,他们必须把炮管先从高位下降,恢复到待机状态的位置。” 但是在这过程中,位于炮塔内的炮管后端,会往后延伸。冯伟衷相信当时因为来不及逃脱,被往后延伸的炮管卡在车内,严重碾压至重伤。 吴仕豪说,炮管降下后,炮塔内空间减少,但仍有空间给技术人员工作。 吴仕豪也在记者会上展示,从炮塔内观察,正常炮管降下时,炮管后端的往后延伸动作: 吴仕豪说,这是一起不幸事件,在自走炮投入服务15年来,未有类似的严重辗伤事故。 目前,陆军需要完整调查,国防部也会召开独立调查委员会, 以深入调查事故的真正起因。 三军总长王赐吉中将,今午率吴仕豪少将、作战后勤支援指挥部司令陈君有上校、陆军军医长卢宏一上校,和人力司司长李忠伟召开记者会,交代初步调查结果。 作战后勤支援指挥部司令陈君有上校,在针对媒体询问时指出,当炮管要降下,炮塔指挥官需口头预警,也需回头视察炮塔室的情况,才按下降炮管的按钮。…
