Chapter 23 Only when you are desperate can you survive!
Piloting is an industry that requires a high degree of accuracy and the ability to turn ninety-nine percent into one hundred percent.
But now, with a 70% certainty, among all flight records, it can be said that the success rate is very low.
However, in this crisis situation, human life is at stake, and everyone must take such a gamble!
"The tower received it! Emergency landing agreed!"
"The tower received it! Emergency landing agreed!"
The moment he finished speaking, Sam felt like his whole body had been drained.
"Quick! Near the Hudson River! Notify passengers of emergency evacuation! The rescue team is on standby at any time!"
Now, not only flight dal3540, but also the ground is also a race against time.
You must know that the Hudson River, including Liberty Island, is originally a tourist attraction with an endless stream of tourists. If the tourists are not evacuated as soon as possible, even after the plane makes an emergency landing, the consequences will be disastrous.
On the tower, all liaison personnel began to get busy.
At the same time, the Security Bureau also received the news and urgently evacuated from the coast and moved closer to the Hudson River.
However, there is still a long distance between the two places, and Edward has already begun to dispatch manpower from other districts to Liberty Island.
At the same time, emergency meetings with the tower and the aviation department also began to be held.
The senior management of Dal Airlines also attended the meeting, and even many experienced pilots who were not scheduled to work today also joined the meeting.
Everyone wants to understand the situation at hand, and they also want to contribute to the safety of passengers, crew members, and the entire aircraft.
"Based on the current situation, the aircraft is in a state of fire in the cargo compartment, and it is very likely that the landing gear, including the flaps, will be affected."
"Yes, the current situation of the fire in the warehouse is unknown, and a fuel leak may have occurred."
"Even on the Hudson River, it would be very difficult to make an emergency landing."
"Dal is a large aircraft, and the width and straight length of the river are difficult to support as an airstrip."
The chief executive of Dal Airlines interrupted the conversation of these captains and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we need an emergency landing plan!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.
Everyone was silent.
"No?"
“Everyone is invited to come over, let’s work together!”
At this time, someone finally said: "Theoretically, it is possible to make a successful forced landing. This depends on the captain's skills and the location of the forced landing."
"Currently, the river area to the west of the statue is the most suitable spot for an emergency landing... However, due to the size and height restrictions of the aircraft, if it makes an emergency landing from here, it is likely to hit the statue..."
"This depends on the captain's skills."
Others nodded silently.
According to the captain, this operation is very difficult and is almost impossible for all experienced captains present.
Only in theory can such an operation be realized.
Two minutes later, the plane had arrived on the side of the Hudson River.
"Slow down!"
"Open the flaps!"
"Prepare to push back!"
Although Chu Yun was the only one in the cockpit, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
At this time, Chu Yun seemed to be stronger than thousands of troops!
The passengers looked out the window. The passengers sitting by the window could already see the city cluster below, as well as the statue of the god standing on the small island in the middle of the river.
Everyone prayed desperately, but they had no idea what was going on in the cockpit at this time, let alone that the person driving the plane was actually a doctoral student studying at the university!
Under such circumstances, everything must be left to fate.
The plane starts to slow down!
At the same time, emergency evacuation preparations have been made on the ground, with countless vehicles parked around the river bank and lifeboats in place.
Everyone hopes that a miracle can happen!
Chu Yun was beginning to feel tired, but at this time, he still clicked on the captain's announcement to bring enough survival news to the passengers outside.
"Dear passengers, we are about to make an emergency landing on the Hudson River due to fuselage failure."
"All crew members are requested to assist passengers and be prepared to avoid collisions!"
Landing determines life and death.
Although the safety of other passengers has nothing to do with Chu Yun, the position he is sitting in at this moment also brings with it the responsibility of being a captain.
The nose of the plane was getting closer and closer to the Hudson River, and the howling wind pressure caused rippling ripples on the river surface.
"The distance is not enough..."
"Not even close!"
Chu Yun's face looked a little pale.
At the last moment of descent, Chu Yun suddenly discovered that judging from the breadth of the western region of the Hudson River, it seemed that it was still a little short!
"That's all! What to do!"
Chu Yun gritted his teeth and his mind raced rapidly.
"Five seconds left!"
Seeing the altitude of the plane drop, at this altitude and the surrounding environment, there is no room for climbing again!
Despite this, Chu Yun still held the control panel tightly and stepped on the pedals with both feet, without relaxing at all.
"wrong……"
"There's still a chance!"
"Go through the side of the statue! It just fits the space for an emergency landing!"
"only……"
Once it hits the statue, the plane will explode and disintegrate instantly!
“A must try!”
At this moment, Chu Yun knew that this might be his only chance in this life!
The next moment, Chu Yun suddenly pulled the control wheel sideways. At the same time, the left and right pedals also stepped on the corresponding positions simultaneously.
Under such operation, the aircraft seemed to be drifting in the air, and the nose of the aircraft was already pointed in the direction of the goddess statue!
"What is he doing?!"
"He's rushing towards the idol!"
In the tower, this scene frightened everyone!
"This is the only and only way!!!" In the conference room, looking at the synchronously transmitted screen, several experienced captains let out a shocking roar.
“Only in desperate situations can we survive!”
boom!
At this moment, almost with a huge muffled sound, dal350 streaked across the evening sky of Gotham City, across the statue of the goddess standing on Liberty Island, and across everyone's hearts!
The right wing was like a sickle, severely cutting through the arm of the goddess statue.
What follows is the inevitable sideways deflection and vibration of the entire aircraft!
That’s right!
This is Chu Yun’s best method among all simulations!
Although hitting the arm of the goddess statue may cause the entire plane to tilt sideways and explode, this is the only possible way to succeed!
And Chu Yun was also prepared in advance to use inertia to prevent sideways movement!
"Success!"
The moment the plane sliced through the arm of the goddess statue and rushed towards the river bed, Chu Yun's heart jumped into his throat.
Dal350 slid sideways, almost at an angle of 45 degrees, and rushed into the water, causing huge waves!
Chapter completed!
