Chapter 41(1/2)

In early February, half a year after the American Airlines crash in 4012, NTSB held a press conference in Boston.

The 298 victims, the world's most advanced aircraft, were enough to attract the attention of people around the world. At 9 a.m., the press conference began on time. The NTSB senior investigator Lovins first introduced all the investigations, and then the final report was summarized by Lina, a spokesperson for UAAG.

Since the wreckage of the plane was fished out of the sea in December, the media's attention to the accident has never decreased. Volkswagen has long known that the black box of American Airlines 4012 disappeared and has not been caught. He also knows that simply from the wreckage of the plane fished out, the plane did not have mechanical failures.

In fact, Airbus' U.S. stocks rose a month ago after media reports that the plane did not have mechanical failures.

Now, as predicted by all media in advance, the conclusion given by the investigation team is most likely to be a pilot's mistake.

A reporter stood up and asked: "If my understanding is not wrong, do you mean, is this a human accident?"

Lina looked at the reporter and smiled: "No."

The reporter was stunned.

Lina's voice was slow and her speech was neither too fast nor too slow: "I hope you can understand my words correctly. First of all, before the investigation report was published, before readers open the report, please remember that this was an airplane accident that failed to get out of the black box. If we found evidence on the wreckage of the plane, such as engine damage or telex system failure, then the answer must be correct, and it is certain that it is unquestionable. But we did not find any clues, so we put the answer on the pilot."

"That means that if the American Airlines 4012 crash was a mechanical failure, then this is 100% correct."

"If it's human factor, then it's just a hypothesis. No one can guarantee that this is really a human accident before the black box is fished out."

The reporter's eyes turned: "Can I understand this way? This is very likely an air crash caused by human factors, but I just don't dare to be 100% sure."

Lina was silent, her voice calmed: "Yes."

The reporters nodded together and recorded this sentence.

Lina: "This reporter, are you a man?"

Just after asking the question, he was about to sit down, but the reporter was suddenly named by Lina. He nodded in surprise: "Yes."

Lina smiled and said, "It seems that you are very likely to be a man, but you can't be 100% sure."

Reporter: "What do you mean?"

Lina smiled politely, "You are indeed a man now, but you may not be a man in the future. This is just like now we speculate that American Airlines 4012 may be a human error, but if one day its black box is fished out, it may not be a human error. Of course, this metaphor is inappropriate. After all, you must be a man now, and American Airlines 4012 cannot be sure that it must be a human fault."

The reporter was stunned and didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Lina: "News emphasize authenticity, timeliness and accuracy. Reporting a news story realistically and accurately brings the truth to the public is the meaning of the existence of the news media. In some ways, it is also the reason why we investigate this air crash."

...

The long press conference finally ended five hours later.

All the reporters present were experienced and eloquent senior journalists, including several famous and famous speakers who are very famous in the United States. Even Lina cannot be at ease at some point. However, she has tried her best.

In fact, all of them knew that this accident might be a human mistake. But each of them worked hard to deserve the truth that one day would really reverse the truth.

At least, you have done it and worked hard. Only in this way can you be worthy of your heart.

After the press conference, Lina and Lovens left the conference hall together. Lovens smiled at her and said, "Thank you for your hard work. In the past, I always deal with these jackals and beasts. They are really scary. If it is a mechanical failure, they will follow the blame and must throw the responsibility from you to the aircraft manufacturer, airline, or airport. If it is not the plane failure, they have to find another person responsible. You know, people are more concerned about not why the mistake is made, but who should bear the consequences after the mistake is made, who will be fined or even go to jail."

Lina: "This is exactly the opposite of us. What we are looking for is why it went wrong and how we can avoid it in the future."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Lovens: "Have you read this investigation report written by Joseph?"

Lina pretended to be surprised: "Lovens, are you doubting my professionalism?" She smiled: "Of course I've seen it, and more than once."

Lovens shook the thick investigation report in his hand: "312 pages are really amazing. It took me three days to finish this report, and even I felt it was a big deal. To be honest, you secretly told me that there are so many excellent investigators in the NTSB, why did Patrick leave Joseph alone? Well... For example, I am not bad."

The blonde covered her lips and chuckled: "You are not suitable."

"Hey, do you think I'm not as good as Joseph? I'm a senior investigator."

"Oh? So you're sarcastic, Old Joseph is just an ordinary investigator, not as good as you?"

"I didn't say that!"

The two of them were joking while walking back. After getting into the car, Lina turned the investigation report to the last dozens of pages. She looked down at the lines of words clearly printed on the white paper, showing a gentle smile.

『Four, safety advice

Regarding this accident analysis, safety suggestions were put forward from two aspects: personnel and organization.

...

The cultivation of pilots’ personal psychological qualities is mostly ignored or not properly dealt with in the current major airlines. The psychological illness of pilots is not only reflected in communication with psychologists and monthly psychological assessments, but also in interpersonal communication and appropriate and reasonable cockpit discipline...』

The cold words did not have any special and emotional words, but she knew that the person who wrote them had tried his best.

Lina carefully read the safety advice part of the investigation report for the fourth time. When the car arrived at the investigation headquarters, she finally finished reading it.

At the investigation headquarters, NTSB investigators are collecting instruments and data. The instruments are naturally transported back to the NTSB branch for maintenance, and the data must be handed over to the NTSB headquarters in Washington, where there is a large database that stores data on every accident accident that NTSB has investigated for more than 60 years.

Lina went upstairs and stopped before she could walk out of the stairs.

"What are you doing?" she walked over.

In the spacious office of the investigation headquarters, NTSB investigators came and went in a hurry and were busy carrying various machines. At this time, the UAAG people seemed out of place. They sat on the sofa in the hall, Zhuo Huan was sitting on the sofa in the east, and Fu Cheng and Su Fei sat opposite him together.

There were a few playing cards on the coffee table between the three.

Su Fei gritted his teeth and was about to throw out another poker card that was used as a bargaining chip, Zhuo Huan suddenly sneered: "You are going to lose again."

Su Fei raised his head: "Clam?"

Zhuo Huan did not return him, but looked at Fucheng sitting next to Su Fei: "I went to Harvard half a year ago and played with this person 46 times, 21 o'clock, and won 37 times. I heard that some people won the IMO gold medal and were nominated for the Turing Award. Wow, do you know who is this person?"

Su Fei: "..."

Fucheng held the card and smiled slightly: "If you didn't always provoke him so much, I don't think he would lose so much."

Zhuo Huan refused to comment, a casual smile appeared on his lips, and he casually drew a chip and threw it out.

Fucheng directly blocked the card and no longer participated in the game between the two. However, Su Fei was aggressive and stared at Zhuo Huan fiercely, with the idea of ​​peeling off Mr. Zhuo. If he hadn't been unable to beat Zhuo Huan, Fucheng wouldn't have doubted that he might have done this.

In the entire UAAG investigation team, Su Fei can play such a probability game with Zhuo Huan. Both of them can count cards. If they go to Las Vegas, they will definitely be banned from entering the major casinos. Logically speaking, Su Fei should not have lost so badly, but his psychological quality is not very good. He can always be angered by Zhuo Huan for a few words, or directly reveal his emotions with his expression.

Fucheng went to the tea room to pour himself a cup of coffee, and Lina happened to be there too.

Lina smiled at him and said, "Why do you think about it and play with them at 10 o'clock?"

Fucheng: "Su Fei wants to pull me up and be a helper. Although I don't think it's useless."

Lina thought for a while: "At least at some point I think you are far better than Reid."

Fucheng looked at her in surprise.

"You can beat him."

Fucheng: "..."

"Although this joke is not funny, thank you, I think so too."

Lina: "I haven't beaten anyway, have you?"

Fu Cheng was stunned: "Do you know?"

Lina actually knew that when he went to the Arctic Circle to test flight, he almost interrupted Mr. Zhuo's hand with one stick?

"Of course, I'm Lina, there's nothing I don't know unless I don't want to know."

It took two days for NTSB to pack all the information and instruments and send them to the investigation headquarters in Washington. The five UAAG did not leave, but continued to live in the luxury hotel provided by the other party, and waited until the last day to attend the summary reception of NTSB's reports.

This is a unique feature of NTSB.

It is probably because of too much budget funds. Every year, the US Congress will allocate a large amount of funds to the FAA, and the FAA will allocate a large amount of funds to the NTSB. Therefore, after each NTSB investigates an air crash, it will hold a summary cocktail party.

Old Joseph often attends NTSB cocktail parties. Lina, the daughter of Maifei's second largest shareholder, has also attended several times. Zhuo Huan has never attended. Every time NTSB sends him an invitation letter, he doesn't even look at it and throws it into the trash can.

In addition, Su Fei is the one who is most interested in this.

Early in the morning, he tried on his dress with great enthusiasm and applied his hair to his hair with a hair mask, hoping to have a romantic encounter at the banquet. However, at night, looking at the men in suits at the cocktail party, Su Fei suddenly felt uninterested and felt completely uninterested.

There are women, but most of them are family members! Those who are not family members do not look at Su Fei at all, and they also have no interest in little kids like him.

Mr. Zhuo was not interested in this kind of cocktail party. As soon as he entered the venue, he didn't know where to go.

Fucheng ate something, took a glass of champagne, but didn't drink a few sips.

Old Joseph walked to him: "Is this called wine?"

Fucheng turned around and looked at him.

Su Fei also came over at some point: "What is life? I'm wasting my time here?"

Lina: "You can leave anytime."

The three of them looked at her together.

Lina raised her phone and shook it: "Reid has asked me to contact the car, so, are you going to go together?"

NTSB's summary cocktail party is not just an ordinary cocktail party, it is more like a social occasion that provides workplace chat. This is not suitable for UAAG.

Lina arranged an extended Rolls-Royce this time. As soon as she got on the car, she saw Zhuo Huan already sitting in the car and closed her eyes to rest.

The four of them squeezed up together.

Fucheng was the last one to go, and Lina only left him a place next to Zhuo Huan.

Fucheng paused and sat down with his steps.
