Chapter 40(1/2)
The unsuccessful air crash is not the only case of Roger 318.
In 2014, Malaysia Airlines 370 mysteriously disappeared in the Indian Ocean. Until four years later, no complete aircraft wreckage was retrieved. The official announcement was that it would not be salvaged and the investigation was suspended. However, even though no useful aircraft wreckage was retrieved at all, the investigation team conducted a four-year investigation and published two investigation documents.
One is an interim survey report released in 2015, with a length of 584 pages.
One is the final investigation report released in 2018, which is 822 pages long.
After Rogue 318 announced the suspension of the investigation, Fucheng had not thought about why the investigation team had not published any investigation report on it for three and a half years. Now, he finally got it.
"You've been pressing down and haven't published an investigation report?"
Zhuo Huan's nasal cavity emitted a slow-heating sound: "Yes."
Fucheng was silent for a long time.
"Why?"
Zhuo Huan raised his eyebrows: "Why?"
Fucheng's voice was silent: "Yes, why."
"Do you know what the results they want to post?"
Fucheng looked up at him.
"Rogue 318 is different from Malaysia Airlines, or it is more like the Air France 447 accident: the most advanced aircraft at the moment has never had any air crash errors; there is no sign of any sudden disappearance in the ocean; the plane is very new and there has never been any special maintenance records." After a pause, Zhuo Huan looked at Fucheng down, "Before Air France's black box was fished up, everyone guessed various possible reasons. But what was the final result?"
Fucheng: "The two pilots made a mistake in cooperation and made a mistake in driving. This is the main reason."
The Air France 447 air crash, the industry's famous "Bonan Trolley", is as famous as the "Richard Diving" mentioned earlier, and is also passed down by word of mouth by amateurs as a joke.
The fuse was that the Pi's tube had a small mechanical failure. It was logical that this was just a minor minor failure. Other planes had also happened, but because the experienced captain at that time went on a rotation and rest, the two young deputy captains were responsible for flying the plane. The two of them panicked, thinking that the plane suddenly stalled and made an incorrect operation, which really began to descend quickly.
Under such circumstances, the deputy captain Bonan began to pull the rods frantically.
The pull rod is to pull the head of the plane upwards and rush upwards.
But at this moment, for a stalled aircraft, what it needs is not to rush upwards, but dive downwards. Only by diving the head downwards and according to aerodynamic principles, the aircraft can obtain thrust and fly again.
The two people were panicked, one shouted "putter" and the other pulled the rod hard.
The experienced captain quickly ran to the cockpit and wanted to save the plane. But he didn't even know what was going on. Why couldn't a plane take off without any pushing rod? Until the last moment, the deputy captain Bonan shouted: "I've been pulling rods, why can't I fly!"
At this point, the captain and another pilot realized that his colleague had done something stupid in a hurry!
It's like driving a car, you want to turn right, but you're crazy about turning the steering wheel to the left.
This is a mistake that even students in flight schools would not make, but a real airline pilot did it wrong.
So after salvaging out the black box of the plane, everyone couldn't believe the truth about the accident. All the previous speculations were overturned, like a joke, and were left in vain. The reason was so simple that it was a bit ridiculous.
"After all, guess is just guessing. No one knows what the truth is." In the cold wind, Zhuo Huan turned his head slightly, and a slightly longer hair fell on his forehead. The black eyes that were always calm swept the city lightly, with a quiet voice: "Roge 318, do you know what kind of investigation report NTSB wants to publish?"
Fucheng: "What?"
Zhuo Huan: "The first possibility is that the captain committed suicide; the second possibility is that the plane runs out of fuel and falls into the sea..."
"If it were you, which kind do you think the media and the public prefer to see?"
Fucheng was stunned and speechless.
The hand inserted into the youth's pocket was pulled out, and Zhuo Huan twisted the burnt cigarette butt on the cement wall and threw it into the trash can beside him. He turned around and left. Behind him, a sudden hurried voice came from the wind: "Is this why you are not allowed to publish an investigation report, Teacher Zhuo?"
Zhuo Huan stopped, turned his head, and looked at Fucheng with a look of mentally retarded—
I've even talked about this at this point, do you still need to ask?
Suddenly he began to doubt the IQ of his subordinates. Zhuo Huan sneered and was about to say something contemptuous and sarcastic, when the cold wind in the winter night blew, he shivered. In order to maintain his demeanor, he quickly closed his trembling teeth and walked away again.
But just as he was about to take a step.
"Zhuo Huan." Fucheng said loudly.
The man turned around slowly.
Wearing a white down jacket, separated by a wall, was the endless stream of Boston seaside streets. Fucheng put his hands in his pockets, looked at Zhuo Huan with a steady look, and said in a serious, solemn and calm voice: "The black box that salvaged Roger 318 at your own expense..."
"What's the reason?"
The air was silenced for a moment.
The wind blowing from the sea suddenly stopped, and the sound of waves striking the beach not far away was like a quiet and secretive crossing the curtain of water.
a long time.
Zhuo Huan: "Fuck, Lina even said such things?"
***
Investigation Headquarters, UAAG Office.
Lina was concentrating on writing the press conference when the table was knocked hard. She raised her head and smiled, "Reid? Well, you don't look very good. Why, are you still angry?"
Zhuo Huan snorted coldly: "You told them that I'm taking out a black box?"
Lina was stunned: "No." She thought about it and saw Fu Cheng following Zhuo Huan and descending from the rooftop stairs. She immediately understood what happened and smiled slightly: "I am a person who respects my friends. It really makes me sad. Reid, you don't believe in my character. Obviously, this matter was not what I said. But this matter is not a secret. Reid, you spent so much money to get a black box with great fanfare. Do you think there are many people in the industry who don't know?"
Zhuo Huan: “…”
Lina said sincerely: "It's not a bad thing, although you are already poor. But this also shows a problem. Reid, our colleagues care about you very much. Are you unhappy?"
Zhuo Huan: “…”
After Zhuo Huan left with a sneer, Fu Cheng came to Lina's desk: "Why is Teacher Zhuo so angry about this?"
Fucheng was quite puzzled. When he pointed out this, Zhuo Huan was obviously very angry, even more angry than a quarrel with Lovens.
Lina spread her hands: "I don't understand either. Maybe it's a man's strange self-esteem? Or, if you don't want to be known to others when doing good deeds, you will be angry after being exposed? I think you are both men, so you shouldn't ask me this question. How do I understand you men? After all, you men are always so unreasonable."
Fucheng: "...Lina, although I am not gender-discriminatory, I always feel like you are saying something wrong."
Lina smiled and said, "Do you think Reid is a metaphorical person?"
Fucheng thought for a while: "I think you're right."
After Zhuo Huan came back, he drank coffee alone in the tea room, and looked down and didn't know what he was thinking.
After ten minutes, everyone at UAAG finally saw him move.
"I've left, I've reported to the commander, and the target has taken action." Su Fei has been observing for a long time and is very excited.
Old Joseph is writing an investigation report, and only Lina and Fucheng are in the mood to deal with Su Fei.
Lina pretended to be very interested: "What do you think Reid will do?"
Fucheng thought for a moment: "Look for Lovens?"
Su Fei: "No, didn't RIP just have a fight with Lovins... Uh..." Before he finished speaking, Zhuo Huan didn't knock on the door and walked into Lovins' office arrogantly.
Lovens's office.
As soon as he saw Mr. Zhuo, Lovens' scalp numb and stood up. "Patrick, I was wrong. You can write whatever you want? Anyway, it's not me who wrote the investigation report, it's Joseph. Don't be angry, you know, I don't mean that. I also know that the cause of this accident cannot be determined. I don't really think it's the pilot's fault."
Zhuo Huan glanced at him: "It was indeed a pilot's mistake."
Lovens: "…"
"Shit! What do you want? You said you couldn't push them all to the pilot, and you said you made a mistake!"
Zhuo Huan: "Shouldn't NTSB show an attitude?"
Lovens: "What?"
His fingers tapped on the table rhythmically, and Zhuo Huan's face remained unchanged: "Continue to look for the black box."
Lovens: "..." He couldn't bear it anymore: "What do you want to say! Haven't we decided that the black box drifted away with the current, and it drifted away! Do you really think looking for a needle in a haystack, can you fish it out? This is more difficult than catching a Roger 318! Roger 318 is at least an airplane, but this is a black box, a black box as big as a computer case, do you really want me to find a needle in a haystack?"
Zhuo Huan raised his eyes and his eyes were calm.
Somehow, looking at his eyes, Lovens's irritable mood finally calmed down. He sat back on the chair: "Sorry, I'm a little excited. My friend, if you have any good suggestions, you might as well say it. But I have to tell you in advance that the investigation report of American Airlines 4012 must be released, and the whole world is waiting for this answer. It is not Roger 318, its plane wreckage was caught, and it is not Mai Fei's plane." After Momo, he still said the sentence: "You are no longer the chief designer of Mai Fei. NTSB will no longer give you such a big face. If you say you don't publish the report, you won't publish it."
As if he hadn't heard Lovens' last words, Zhuo Huan said lightly: "I didn't say that I can't publish an investigation report."
"What advice do you have?"
"NTSB, you shouldn't just give up looking for a black box. You should at least show an attitude. This is my request and cannot be changed."
The next day, it was night.
There are a lot of TV viewers in the United States. In the 1920s and 1930s, TVs entered thousands of households, and almost every American grew up in front of TVs. So even now, when the Internet is so developed, the ratings of TV programs in the United States are still very gratifying.
When it comes to CNN and Fox News, many people are enjoying dinner while watching the news.
Suddenly, the cold-looking male host got a new manuscript. He took a casual look and looked up and started broadcasting: "Assist a news broadcast. According to NTBS, the news report meeting of US Airlines 4012 will be held in Boston next month. The cause of the accident has been investigated and entered the final summary stage. At the same time, NTSB and US Airlines will issue a reward together. If there is any information about US Airlines 4012 black box, you can contact NTSB, and the bounty is up to 500,000 US dollars. The following is a general introduction to the black box..."
At the same time, Canadian news programs also published the same news report.
Boston, Investigation Headquarters.
Lina looked at the news broadcast in CNN and said in surprise: "Reid, why did you suddenly have this idea?" She turned to look at Zhuo Huan beside her.
It has been two days since Uncle Zhuo is in a bad mood and doesn't want to pay attention to others.
Fucheng thought for a while: "The location of the crash of American Airlines 4102 is actually quite special. It crashed in the Atlantic Ocean near Boston Bay, and this area is actually very close to the Newfoundland fishing ground."
Upon hearing this, Su Fei immediately became interested: "Cod?"
Lina: "And Boston lobsters."
As one of the four largest fishing grounds in the world, Newfoundland fishery is rich in cod and lobster.
Fucheng: "Yes. If it crashes in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean like Air France, it is really impossible to find it. Like Rogue 318, it will be difficult to find whereabouts. But near the waters where it crashes, there are one of the most prosperous fishing grounds in the world. Although Newfoundland fishing grounds have gradually declined since the 1990s, there are still many fishing boats fishing here. The black box drifts with the currents, and the Newfoundland fishing grounds are also where the currents gather. Maybe they can be found?"
Su Fei: "Maybe I can't find it, it's better to find a needle in a haystack."
Fucheng: "If you don't try it, how can you know that you can't succeed? At least NTSB and American Airlines did this, and they did not give up and came to a conclusion. Teacher Zhuo is really amazing."
Everyone turned their heads and looked at a man.
