Chapter 172: Rushing off the runway
At the head of runway 03, there was originally a deep pit, and if the plane fell, it would definitely be the end of the plane crash and the death of the person.
However, in the near future, the airport intends to build a new apron on the head of runway 03 for overnight flights.
After the plan to build another apron, the airport began to fill the pit, and it took several months for the large hole at the head of runway 03 to be basically filled.
In this way, the "wise" decision of the airport can be regarded as saving Xu Qing's life.
However, the pit is gone, leaving behind a large construction site.
It's late now, and there are no people on the construction site, but there are sparse lights. Beneath the light was piles of sand and gravel and some mixers and other tools.
If you hit it, emmm...... It seems better than falling into a pit......
In fact, the speed of the plane is not very fast now, just like ice skating, the plane is just sliding forward slowly, and it is useless to step on the brakes!
In the case of speed, the speed brake and anti-jet are useless.
Blessing is unparalleled, disaster is not a single line, just burst a row of runway side lights, seeing that into the bubble area, thinking out of the danger of explosion, now facing the dilemma of not being able to slow down.
Firefighters outside the runway stopped scattering after discovering that 9831 had been realigned back to the runway.
When the plane sparked all the way into the foam area without causing an explosion or separation, many firefighters even cheered, indicating that 9831 had passed the most dangerous step.
It wasn't until an older firefighter watched the aftermath of the plane that his smile gradually retracted, and then turned to fear.
"It didn't slow down, why didn't it slow down!"
The old firefighters frantically chased the planes, and on the other side of the construction site was a rudimentary public loft, which was a temporary shelter for Gongrao, and dozens of workers lived in it. It's just that the lights of the public loft have been turned off, and it is hidden in the darkness and cannot be seen.
If 9831 crashes into it like this, won't the sleeping workers face a catastrophe?
It was not only this firefighter who discovered that 9831 was abnormal, the control on the tower was clearly visible from the tower's condescending heights!
"Blue 9831, do you have a problem with the braking system, why is the deceleration so slow? Can I park on the runway? "The control of the tower also knows that the construction site is actually Rao.
"Blue 9831, we are now with slippery wheels, deceleration is very slow, and we are not sure if we can stop on the runway."
The answer was Xu Qing, who was still stepping on the brakes, hoping to make the last struggle.
However, Xu Qing knew that the captain's efforts were likely to be in vain, and judging from the current situation, they were almost certain to rush out of the runway.
I didn't expect the bubble to save them, but it also hurt them!
Everyone knows that when it rains, a thin film of smooth water forms on the road. The same happens on the runway.
If this layer of water does not break down, it is easy to cause slippage.
Therefore, Boeing recommends the use of "solid landing" under precipitation, that is, not pursuing light landing, and grounding with appropriate load to break through the water film, so as to prevent the occurrence of skidding.
This time, the 9831 landed heavily enough that it could not fall on the foam area, but slide into the foam area.
This leads to the fact that the wheels are actually in contact with that layer of water film, and the braking performance is naturally very poor.
"Blue 9831, there are people at the construction site at the head of runway 03, you must stop on the runway!"
The tower threw out a bombshell message, which shocked Xu Qing and his brains.
"This ......"
Xu Qing looked at the captain with round eyes, and the captain was also full of solemnity, in a dilemma, that's it!
"Let's turn left!" The captain's gaze fell on a pile of sand to the left of Runway 03.
Among the piles of steel and rocks above the construction site, this sand pile is relatively soft and can be used for slowing down.
Originally, he rushed straight forward, except for a stone pile, there were no major obstacles.
But after being reminded by the tower, Xu Qing vaguely saw that there seemed to be a shed in the direction they were opposite.
Because the lights in other places are too conspicuous, there is a feeling of darkness under the lights, no wonder Xu Qing couldn't see it just now.
They weren't very fast now, and Xu Qing didn't think they had enough momentum to cross the entire construction site and hit the shed.
However, no one dares to play this package ticket!
Except for the sand pile directly ahead, that is, the one that the captain on the left is referring to, it is quite a good job.
There is no time to dwell on it any longer, and since you have decided to turn left, you choose to trust the judgment of the captain.
Xu Qing immediately informed the cabin of the imminent collision and asked them to start shouting out the anti-collision posture to the passengers, even if the effect might not be so great due to the suddenness of the incident.
As Xu Qing predicted, the plane still maintained a speed of more than 20 to 30 knots when it approached the head of the runway.
It's not fast, it's a little bit faster, but at this moment, it's deadly enough!
The cockpit kept sounding the electronic announcement of the remaining runway length, and when the report was ten meters away, the captain stepped on the left rudder, and the plane immediately deviated to the left!
To the left, the plane first passes through a taxiway, which is inserted diagonally into this 90-degree right-angle taxiway.
Since there was no foam on the taxiway, Xu Qing saw the sparks caused by friction again, but because the speed was not fast, there were a lot of sparks and lightning along the way at the beginning of the battle.
There is no foam, and the effect of using the nose against the face brake is reflected.
After this short taxiway width, the speed dropped by more than 20 knots. Then he continued to dive into the meadow.
The massive fuselage has unparalleled inertia, even at low speeds, churning the grass beyond the taxiway.
The flying turf slapped on the windshield, forming one mud spot after another, and the sight was not very good at night, so many obstructions made Xu Qing almost unable to see ahead.
From the cracks in the dirt, Xu Qing vaguely saw the nose of the plane crashing through the barbed wire and heading straight for the sand pile.
Behind this sand pile, there were a few mixers, which were real iron guys, and Xu Qingwan didn't want to have a close contact with them.
In fact, when it rushed through the wire fence, the speed of the plane was already very high, after all, the fuselage was too heavy, and the nose of the plane was already a little sunk in the dirt.
When sinking into the soil, the drag of the plane is very great, and when approaching the sand pile, under the illumination of the light, Xu Qing even has time to see every piece of sand on the surface of the sand pile.
The plane was like an old mule pulling a heavy cart, and it seemed to use its last strength to slowly plunge into the sand.
Xu Qing's already small perspective completely disappeared after plunging into the sand!
I couldn't see the outside, but Xu Qing didn't panic because they stopped!
