??? qn?? m???? 0!? J??? iRQ??? _0?u?g? o|? ?@?? 4? T? E5?? He Qiu Fengyu walked down the gangway together, accompanied by a major officer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and whoever is behind them is Ryoko Yonekura, but they are obviously ignored, and the whole focus is on Qiu Fengyu and Maguire. Maguire is what they want to promote. White people, American citizens, are the best American heroes to flaunt. Although Qiu Fengyu is not a citizen of the United States, he has a green card, and in this air crash, his role is irreplaceable, he is the one who saved the entire plane. So he has to be given a focused commendation.
Those who disembarked in front of them had already been picked up by a bus. They can't leave for the time being, because the airlines, insurance companies, and the FBI need to cooperate with the passengers to investigate the whole incident. They will be placed in a hotel, and after being investigated, they will be able to leave immediately, or they can just stay in the hotel for one night and then leave.
Hugging, crying, and gratifying, all kinds of emotions are constantly vented on the dock, which makes many people's expressions solemn, and the atmosphere on the dock makes many people dare not laugh out loud. And the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe after seeing relatives and friends makes the rescued people chatter endlessly and can't wait to tell all this.
Reporters interviewed them randomly, but few passengers stopped for an interview because it was a terrible experience and they didn't even have the heart to say anything to the camera. Under the cover of his relatives and friends, he got on the bus arranged by the FBI as soon as possible and left.
The reporters were not in a hurry, and they focused their cameras on the two upcoming blockbusters. That's Qiu Fengyu and Maguire. However, as soon as they stepped down the spiral ladder, Sandra's men quickly walked towards the bus, and then got on the bus and left. The remaining Qiu Fengyu and Ma Kuirong were surrounded by a group of people.
The leader was a man in his fifties who was a little fat, but each of them was very tall. The brown curls are neatly combed, making him look very stable. When he saw Qiu Fengyu and Maguire coming down, he walked a few quick steps towards them, and the entourage behind him also hurriedly followed.
"Welcome back heroes!" The man stretched out his hand towards Qiu Fengyu, held Qiu Fengyu's hand tightly with both hands, and said with a somewhat excited expression, "I'm Jeff, the governor of Texas?" Robinson, I'm so proud of what you've done. Hats off to you. He shook the hands of Qiu Fengyu and Maguire respectively, and saluted the two of them with an American-style military salute to express his respect for Qiu Fengyu and Maguire.
This scene was filmed by reporters. Then the reporters squeezed inside, and some people handed long guns and short guns to Qiu Fengyu and Maguire, wanting Qiu Fengyu and Maguire to say something, but the two got into a Cadillac stretch car under the protection of the coast guard soldiers. The car started and drove forward.
A Texas press officer in the back said to the reporters, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, if you want to cover something, go to Houston, where we'll arrange a press conference, and if you have any questions, you can stay there." If I were you, I would complete the application as soon as possible and secure a seat. When he had finished speaking, he got into the car and drove away. Then came the military vehicles, which followed and left.
At a five-star hotel in Houston, get off the bus and walk straight inside. Under the guidance of the government's press officer, Qiu Fengyu and Maguire entered a conference room, which was a small conference room, and there were not many people in the conference room. Robinson was accompanied by three other officers.
But after entering, there are still camera crews. It was a brief meeting ceremony. Jeff? Robinson shook hands and hugged Qiu Fengyu and Maguire in front of the camera, then sat down to chat. The main thing is to talk about what Qiu Fengyu and Maguire did in this incident.
So Qiu Fengyu was patient and told the story again. It's just that there is no mention of Ryoko Yonekura's experience. Maguire was also amusementingly not to mention that paragraph. After all, mentioning it may embarrass Ryoko Yonekura, and it is not easy to explain to the FBI personnel.
The process of chatting was very short, but it was only half an hour, and it took about ten minutes to pose for photos. Then the chat took more than ten minutes, and a few minutes were polite. After that, Mr. Governor shook hands with Qiu Fengyu and Maguire again. He walked away, leaving the government's press officer to accompany Mr. Qiu and Mr. Maguire to a hall for a press conference.
This was arranged in advance, and when I went to the hotel halfway, I also told Qiu Fengyu and Maguire. So they're all mentally prepared now. He was accompanied by three delegates, a state government official who was in charge of the roll call, and two others, the head of the insurance company and the head of the airline. They sat on the left and right, next to Qiu Fengyu and Maguire. When the interview began, the state official sitting on the edge of the room called names.
"Hello, I'm Helen, an ABC correspondent in Houston? Walton. I have a question for Mr. Maguire, do you think this crash could have been avoided, and who do you think is responsible? Thank you! "The first person to ask the question was a blonde woman in her thirties, who had a good figure and image, but the question was very sharp, and it was difficult to deal with it as soon as she came up. This question is really difficult to answer, and if you don't do it well, you will fall into a trap.
Maguire coughed dryly twice, adjusted his mood, and then said: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm just an air police officer, I just did what I thought I should do when the plane was in danger, and the accident happened, no one wants to see it, I'm not a professional, if we want to know who is responsible, why don't we wait for those professionals to investigate the cause before asking them?" ”
Originally, such a question still made the airline people a little nervous. Fortunately, Maguire coped with it calmly and did not say anything, which made them breathe a sigh of relief. Obviously, this kind of answer is the official's favorite, but the reporters don't like it very much, they want to be surprised.
This can be regarded as one of the few major events in the United States. Every journalist wants to be more aggressive to increase the leverage of the media they represent. So Maguire's answer made them very dissatisfied, and some people were shaking their heads. The reporter, Helen, sat down with some regret. Continue to wait for the opportunity to ask yourself questions.
The next question was asked by a male reporter, and after he got permission, he stood up and said to Qiu Fengyu: "Mr. Qiu, you have played a very key role in this incident, and you have been able to protect the vast majority of people, which is a very remarkable achievement, when did you practice your flying skills?" And also...... We know that you are not yet a U.S. citizen because the time is not up to par. But with this incident, it is possible that you will have the opportunity to become a U.S. citizen because of the special terms of the U.S. government, and if there is such an opportunity, would you want to get a citizenship? ”
It's a really hard question to answer. Qiu Fengyu was a little flustered, he didn't expect someone to ask a question about his identity, so it was indeed a bit tricky. It may also be that the arrogant thinking of Americans is at work, thinking that good people will want to join the United States citizenship.
"Uh...... The first question, my flight skills...... I learned it when I was in Ukraine, and I also got a Ukrainian pilot's license, but I don't have a U.S. pilot's license, so I hope the U.S. government won't arrest me because I'm driving without a license here. And also flew the plane to the beach. ”
Qiu Fengyu's answer made the reporters and the officials and representatives laugh. This guy is really an optimist, and he has a lot of humor. And then he went on to say, "Well, on the second question, if you can convince the U.S. government to cut the tax rate by even one percent, I think that's a good answer." And I also believe, Zach? Berg will definitely regret it. ”
Then someone burst into laughter. Americans' personal income tax is very heavy, and many Americans voluntarily renounce their U.S. citizenship in order to avoid high taxes. One of the founders of Facebook, Zach? It was because of this that Berg renounced his American citizenship.
So when Qiu Fengyu said this, this problem was immediately resolved. A lot of people are even applauding. They felt that Qiu Fengyu was right. Qiu Fengyu waited for the applause to stop before continuing: "Many people love this country, but it definitely does not include the high personal tax. ”
This is tantamount to firing directly at the US government. But that's nothing, the U.S. government gets sprayed countless times a day by a lot of people. So even if you add Qiu Fengyu this time, there is nothing. Therefore, the reporters all felt that Qiu Fengyu seemed to be very quick-witted, at least a smart person who knew how to divert the topic.
"But I would like to add to the first point, which is...... I want to be able to get my pilot's license here and fly the plane to land safely everywhere. Qiu Fengyu added with a smile, but everyone understood that this guy was using this for his own personal gain.
But no one was able to say anything to him. If it weren't for his flying skills, it would have led to one of the worst flight accidents in American aviation history. So they can also understand this behavior of Qiu Fengyu.
The press conference continued, but the question-and-answer session was not long, and after about five or six questions, the government press officer announced that the press conference was over, and then took Qiu Fengyu and Maguire to the hotel room. Give each of them a key card.
"There's going to be a welcome banquet tonight. People from all walks of life in Texas are very welcome to attend. We'll get your gowns ready. If there is still a need, we are also prepared to have a very professional image consultant. The government's press officer said to the two. (To be continued.) )
