Captain: Confident in the face of danger, he is confident in controlling the aircraft
At the meeting, Captain Liu Chuanjian recalled that the plane was in cruising at the time of the incident. He suddenly heard a “bang” burst, and the windshield glass in front of the right seat broke in a mesh. The aircraft team immediately reported to the air traffic control department: “The plane had a malfunction and was ready to return.” “Less than a second after the report, he heard a loud bang, and turned around and saw half of the passenger. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Komiks‘s body flew out of the window, and the plane began to fall and its speed increased. “
Liu Chuanjian said that after the windshield glass burst and fall off, the biggest problem faced was lack of oxygen and cold. At that time, the temperature outside the cabin was about -40℃ and the speed was about 800 kilometers per hour. The plane had to drop to the lowest altitude as soon as possible. “But if the whereabouts are fast, the speed will increase and the impact will be greater. Faced with this ‘difficult’, we chose the appropriate speed to drop to a safe height while ensuring safety.” He recalled that his body was almost deformed at the time, and his ears could not hear any sound at one time. After a period of time, all he heard was noise. After that, the crew can only communicate by gestures. Despite the severe situation, Liu Chuanjian is still confident in controlling the plane. He said: “I am very confident in this route and I am very decisive in making the decision to make a pre-landing. I thought about it briefly and found that I have flew this route hundreds of times, and the plane has such a problem. As a simulator instructor, I have set up such subjects and know it in my mind, so I have very control over the position and the overall situation of the plane.”
The second captain Liang Peng also said that although the simulator cannot completely restore the situation at that time,The crew has been following the standard training procedures, which is the main reason for the final good results. For the captain, will this experience make them “fly”? Liang Peng smiled and said that he was professional: “I’m not afraid.” The flight attendant: comfort the passengers with a professional attitude
The incident happened suddenly. In the cabin, the flight attendant Bi Nan and her colleagues were all trying their best to comfort the passengers. She recalled that she immediately implemented the pressure relief plan for the passenger cabin: pull down the oxygen mask to inhale oxygen, fix yourself, take self-protection measures, and then notify passengers with the broadcast, so that the passengers can pull down the oxygen mask with force. “The wind was too loud at that time, and I couldn’t hear the passengers’ shouts, but through our comfort and guidance, every passenger tied up the seat belt and pulled down the oxygen mask to inhale oxygen, so no passenger was injured.” Bi Nan introduced that he was in the front cabin duty position at that time and felt cold. However, I later learned that the passengers were not particularly cold in the passenger cabin. The Babaylan service team comforted the passengers after the plane stabilized. “At that time, there were passengers crying, so we told them: ‘Believe us, we have been professionally trained, and we can safely deliver you to our destination.’ Every flight attendant has said this sentence. We have a clear idea in our hearts, we believe in the captain, and we believe in our training every day.”
