Chapter 45: A Crisis of Life and Death
Liao Fei rushed to the cockpit and found that Wang Liqiang had restrained Turner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He immediately rushed back again, intending to cooperate with the four bodyguards to take down the last two terrorists.
Cameron's bodyguards were ferocious, riding on Ada's body and slamming her out, knocking her unconscious with ease. He picked up his gun and joined the reinforcements.
The four men opened fire, instantly suppressing the terrorists' fire. Although the four of them have not cooperated, they have a tacit understanding, two of them fire, and two of them assault. At first glance, they are all from the special forces.
A terrorist was hit in the center of the eyebrow by Liao Fei and fell. One of the bodyguards also hit the last terrorist, who was not killed instantly, and when he fell, he continued to fire. Three bullets hit a porthole, instantly cracking the glass several times.
The passengers sitting in the porthole position watched the crack gradually widen, and suddenly the white light flashed, and there was a huge popping sound, the porthole burst, and then the surrounding cabins also flew out, blasting out a large hole of nearly three meters. The person sitting in the hole was directly blown out and disappeared into the air at a height of 10,000 meters.
In order to avoid "altitude sickness" in the environment of low pressure and lack of oxygen at high altitude, the aircraft has been flying under heating and pressurization. The higher the altitude, the lower the air pressure. The pressure inside the aircraft is greater than the pressure at an altitude of 10,000 meters, so when the fuselage ruptures, a large amount of air rushes out of the breach.
The density of the air is 1.29 kg per cubic meter, and under the huge pressure difference, nearly a ton of material passes through the breach at a very high speed in a few seconds. At the moment of the burst, the air close to the burst bursts out of the crack, and then generates ultra-low pressure at its place, and the surrounding air will fill in, and this process occurs rapidly in a chain throughout the aircraft, causing the air to gush towards the rift. Such a huge force can instantly take people and objects out of the plane.
The oxygen masks on top of all seats fell automatically, and the cabin was filled with wailing. Several bodyguards quickly grabbed the seat next to them and clung to it to avoid being carried out by the air current. Some people unbuckled their seat belts in order to avoid bullets, and those who squeezed next to others were instantly blown out by the air flow and taken to an altitude of 10,000 meters outside the cabin.
Liao Fei lay on the ground, clutching the seat with both hands, and everyone was blown sideways. He Jiayu was blown up by the air current, didn't grasp the fixation next to him, and flew towards the breach in the economy class. Liao Fei saw He Jiayu flying over and grabbed her arm. The instantaneous impact almost took Liao Fei away. Even so, Liao Fei grabbed the seat with one hand, bearing the force borne by the two of them, and his hand slid away from the seat little by little.
He Jiayu knew that Liao Fei couldn't bear it, she didn't want both of them to be both, and shouted: "Let go, let go." ”
Liao Fei didn't have the strength to speak, and he wanted to use all his strength to fight against the air current, and he grabbed her arm tightly to show his determination.
The loss of pressure in the cabin is only a matter of moments, and the pressure balance is quickly reached. Liao Fei and He Jiayu slammed into the cabin.
The air pressure at an altitude of 10,000 meters is about 30 kPa (1 standard atmosphere pressure is about 101 kPa), the oxygen content is only 30% of that at sea level, and the temperature is about minus 35 °C. When a person is exposed to such an environment, his life is in danger in an instant. When the cabin is depressurized, passengers will have damaged eardrums, nosebleeds, and in severe cases, blood vessels and organs can rupture. After the pressure of the cabin is equivalent to the pressure at an altitude of 10,000 meters, in the hypopressive and hypoxic environment, once the oxygen concentration is reduced, the oxygen inhaled by the person is reduced, the oxygen in the arterial blood is reduced, and the organs of the body cannot get sufficient oxygen supply, and the physiological function will be impaired, which will produce various reactions such as hyperventilation, dizziness, weakness of limbs, vomiting, etc., and in severe cases, death.
In the absence of oxygen and high cold, if the plane continues to fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters, it will not be long before all the passengers on board will freeze to death, and no one will be able to escape. And even if someone were hardy, the emergency oxygen reserve connected to an oxygen mask would only be enough for people to breathe for ten minutes.
Liao Fei stood up and ran frantically towards the cockpit, where he wanted to run as soon as possible to lower the plane in altitude. Be fast, faster...... Because he only has a maximum of one minute, if he can't run to the cockpit, then he can only die halfway without oxygen.
He ran wildly, using all his strength. When he jumped into the captain's seat in the cockpit, his face was already blue, his eyes were full of stars, and he was about to pass out.
Liao Fei pressed the oxygen mask to his face and breathed in a big gulp of oxygen to relieve the symptoms of his imminent fainting.
He was better, sat down immediately, fastened his seatbelt, and put on an oxygen mask. Then with a push of the joystick, the airliner immediately flew headlong down.
Liao Fei was trained to fly in the special forces, but he only simulated it on a flight simulator, which was the first time he flew a real plane. The most critical problem is that he flew a Chinese J-8 fighter and a Wuzhi-9 helicopter on the simulator, and he had never simulated a passenger plane at all, and it was a large passenger aircraft.
The six screens on the main console displayed data such as the aircraft's attitude, performance, and engine parameters, and Liao Fei was dazzled and confused.
Luckily, the plane's control stick and throttle lever are similar, which keeps him from being completely overwhelmed.
The airliner made an emergency descent, descending 1200 meters per minute. The speed of the aircraft increased to 500 kilometers per hour.
The passengers panicked, having just escaped, did not expect the plane to crash. Those who believed in Jesus began to pray for access to heaven. Prayers for Islam go to the garden of Allah...... The young man pulls out his phone and sends one last text message to his family. Couples hold hands, and there is affection in their eyes. Adults hugging children with tears in their eyes......
The shattered glass windows and cabins of the airliner hit the Typhoon fighter jets that followed the airliner faster than a bullet. Not only did it knock out several holes in the plane, but a piece of metal flew in through the air intake of the fighter jet, directly causing the engine to catch fire and smoke.
The Typhoon fighter jet's alarm device went off non-stop. Kent clutched the joystick and made a final call: "The airliner blew up a huge breach, and my plane was hit by metal fragments and lost control. ”
The commander of the Air Force shouted: "Abandon the plane, eject immediately." ”
The fighter jet descended rapidly, and Kent had already seen that there was a town below, and if it ejected now, the fighter would smash directly into the town. Fighter jets are loaded with ammunition, and if they cause a martyrdom, the consequences are even more serious. Kent in order to avoid the plane crashing into the town. Forcibly controlled, intending to wait for it to fly over town before ejecting.
Kent's wingman saw his plane plump of smoke and descend rapidly, and if he wanted to avoid the town, he probably had no chance to eject at all. The wingman pilot shouted, "Captain, eject, hurry!" ”
Kent didn't answer, his muscles tense as he rigidly controlled the jivering joystick.
The Typhoon fighter jet flew past the last house in town, plunging headlong into the sky. Before Kent crashed, he only had time to glance at the photo of his wife above the dashboard. Along with the fighter jets, it turned into a fireball.
There was a wail from Kent's wingman, and after the pilot Hathes informed the base of the crash, he pulled the control stick and chased the fast-landing airliner.
In the conference room of the Prime Minister's residence, the governors who heard the crash of the Kent fighter jet fell silent, and the Prime Minister and the Minister of Defense stopped arguing.
Instead of feeling sorry for the 77.7 million euro fighter jet, or grieving for the sacrificial Kent, they were shocked by what really happened on the plane? There was a fight between the terrorists and the passengers, who really won? Who is in control of the airliner now? Is it Nelson or the passengers on the plane.
The prime minister said: "Contact the airliner immediately, I want to know what happened?" Who is controlling the plane. Have another Typhoon fighter go and check the cockpit. ”
As one order after another was issued, Hasses piloted the Typhoon fighter plane past the passenger plane that was rapidly descending, and took a look at the situation inside.
The tower was also calling the airliner over and over again, and flight C993 responded.
Liao Fei took an oxygen mask and responded with a fart! He was flying the plane with all his might, and if in response, the plane was smashing directly into the ground, the joke would be bigger!
Hasses saw a man flying the plane, but because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't tell exactly if it was a terrorist who had been in the cabin or someone else.
The prime minister received responses from both sides, but neither could accurately know the situation of the airliner. Asked: "Why didn't flight C993 answer?" Do you guys have any guesses? ”
Howard had driven the plane and knew the situation after the loss of pressure, and said: "The body of the passenger plane is broken, which will cause the cabin to lose pressure, and the pilot will not be able to respond if he is wearing an oxygen mask." Only when the plane descends to about 9,000 feet will the pilot take off his mask and can talk normally. ”
"You said that the airliner is not answering now because the pilot is descending. Who was the man flying the plane? The prime minister did not get an answer from anyone, saying: "Let the fighter follow the airliner, and after 9,000 feet, if the airliner doesn't talk back, shoot it down." ”
Clement automatically halved the Prime Minister's words and informed Hasses: "Follow the airliner, keep in touch with the airliner, and if it refuses to respond, wait for me to give the order to destroy it." ”
The first is a little dissatisfied with Clement's automatic decision to be made by the pilot to control the time of the wreck. But now he has hope in his heart, hoping that the passenger plane will be successfully rescued by the passengers, so he does not find fault with Clement.
Hathes followed the airliner in order to be able to wreck it at any time. He locked the fire control radar onto the airliner and waited for an order to blow it to pieces to avenge the death of Kent.
Liao Fei saw that the radar lock warning light in the cockpit was on, and the alarm kept ringing, but he didn't have time to care about these things, just focused on controlling the descent of the plane.
Six minutes later, the plane descended to an altitude of about 2,900 meters. Liao Fei set up autopilot, took off the oxygen mask, picked up the headset, and said, "Mayday, mayday, mayday." ”
Mayday is an international radio distress signal. The French m'aider, which was originally to save me, was pronounced as Mayday in English. A mayday call over the radio refers to the encounter with a real-time danger situation that threatens life. When making Mayday, you must call three times in a row to avoid mishearing.
Both the tower and Hasses received Liao Fei's call for help, and the tower said: "This is Heathrow International Airport, flight C993, what happened on board?" ”
"The terrorists on board have been eliminated, and when the hijackers were exchanged again, the cabin was broken, the electronic equipment was broken, and a large number of passengers were injured and an emergency landing was required."
