The aircraft 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 KomiksWith the premise of ensuring safety, we chose the appropriate speed to drop to a safe height.” He recalled that his body was almost deformed at the time, and his ears could not hear any sound at one time, and after a while, they were all noise.

Bi Nan introduced that he was in the front cabin duty position 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 Babaylan to our destination. ’ Every flight attendant has said this sentence.
