Captain: Babaylan is confident in controlling the aircraft
At the meeting, Captain Liu Chuanjian recalled that the plane was in cruise at the time of the incident, and suddenly heard a “bang” burst, and the windshield glass in the front of the right seat shattered in a net shape. The crew 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, Cinema heard a loud ‘bang’, turned around and saw the co-pilot fly out of the window, and the plane began to fall and its speed increased. ”
Liu Chuanjian said that after the windshield glass cracked and fell 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 aircraft must drop to the lowest altitude as soon as possible. “But if it falls quickly, the speed will increase and the impact will be greater. Faced with this ‘divergence’, we choose the appropriate speed to lower it to the full height of the safety while ensuring safety. “He recalled that his body was almost deformed at the time, and he could not hear any sound in his ears for a while. After a while, all he heard was noise. After that, the crew could only communicate with gestures. Although the situation was serious, Liu Chuanjian was 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 preparatory landing. I thought about it briefly and found that I have been flying this route hundreds of times. Babaylan and the plane has such a fault. As a simulator instructor, I have set up such subjects and have a clear idea in my mind. So I have very control over the position and overall situation of the plane. ”
The second captain Liang Peng also said that although the simulator cannot be completely unable to fully Komiks was in the situation at that time, but the crew had been following the standard training procedures, which was the main reason for the final good results. For the captain, will this experience make them “afraid of flying”? Liang Peng said with a smile that he was professional: “I’m really not afraid.” ”
Flight attendant: To comfort passengers with a professional attitude
The incident happened suddenly. At that time, the crewman of Cinema, Bi Nan and her colleagues were trying their best to comfort passengers. She recalled that she immediately implemented the treatment plan for the pressure relief of the cabin: pull down the oxygen mask to inhale, fix yourself, take self-protection measures, and then notify the passengers with the radio, so that the passengers could pull down the oxygen mask with force. “The wind was too loud at the time, and I couldn’t hear the traveler. href=”https://funnybookish.com/”>Cinema‘s shouts, but through our comfort and guidance, every passenger has fastened his seat belt and pulled down his oxygen mask to inhale oxygen, so no passenger was injured. ”
Bi NanjieKomiks Shao was in the front cabin duty position at that time and felt cold. However, he later learned that the passengers were not particularly cold in the cabin. After the flight stabilized, the crew comforted the passengers. “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 the destination. ’ Every flight attendant has said this sentence. We have a clear idea in our hearts, we believe in the captain, and our training every day. ”
