Chapter 155 Wreck
ps: Starting from the third volume, the chapter list is changed to start from the first chapter
"Mom, go quickly!"
On the airport corridor, a little girl with braids was jumping forward. She looked at the scenery outside through the glass of the corridor, then turned back and followed behind because she was talking to her friends. And my mother, who slowed down her pace, shouted.
"Tongtong, slow down, be careful of falling."
Mom agreed and quickened her pace a little.
"Welcome to board this flight..."
Smiling flight attendants greeted this group of passengers at the entrance and exit of the aircraft.
After sitting down against the window, the little girl immediately moved towards the plane window and looked at the other planes parked here with great interest.
"Please fasten your seat belt..."
"The plane is about to take off..."
A huge pushing feeling came from behind. Driven by the two engines under the wings, the huge fuselage accelerated rapidly along the flat runway. After reaching takeoff speed, the fuselage suddenly lifted up.
"I feel like someone is pressing me down," the little girl giggled.
"Shh... don't disturb others' rest. That's called being overweight."
The little girl lowered her voice: "Is our plane overweight?"
"No, it's gravity. Just like when you go up in an elevator, you feel like you're getting heavier."
After the climb phase, the aircraft rose to a sufficient altitude and began cruising. The beautiful stewardess and handsome flight attendant also began to push the dining car and deliver cups of drinks to the passengers.
"Little sister, what would you like to drink?"
"Sister, sister, I want to drink orange juice!"
"Okay, here you go, be careful not to spill it."
"Thank you sister!"
"My little sister is so good, you're welcome."
The voyage is still going on. At this moment, it has been more than an hour since the plane took off. The little girl no longer had the excitement she had when she first got on the plane. She was still looking out the window, but she was no longer chattering.
In a daze, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in her sight. She opened her eyes wide with curiosity: "Mom, someone is lighting cigarettes..."
Before the word "花" was uttered, the plane suddenly shook. The weightlessness caused by the sudden descent caused the flight attendant who had not had time to return to her seat to suddenly float up and hit the top of the plane hard.
The piercing alarm sounded throughout the cabin, and all kinds of screams and cries were mixed together.
At this moment, thousands of meters away on the ground, an aunt who was sitting at the door chatting with her neighbors looked at the sky in surprise. The plane that originally dragged out a long white smoke actually dragged out There was black smoke, and there was a faint flash of fire.
"His aunt, look quickly..."
"Old Zhang! Come and see! The plane is going to fall!"
"Does this...need to call the police?"
"Call 110 quickly!"
Airport control tower.
The cry for help in the communicator has disappeared. The dispatchers stared blankly at the radar image on the screen, trying to find the point that still existed before. But no one can do this.
That point disappeared.
The plane crashed.
A bone-chilling chill enveloped the entire hall. Everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
Air crash.
There is no luck left at this moment. The air crash came to this world suddenly. However, from the little information available at this moment, it can be judged that there is a high probability that there will be no survivors in this air crash.
A young dispatcher closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of tears slowly flowed out.
Although there were no relatives or friends on that plane, or even anyone he knew. but……
After all, that is more than one hundred and fifty lives...
A certain residential area, fifth floor.
There was no one in the house except Sun Lide. The wife went to work and the children went to school. However, because he had not been feeling well these days, Sun Lide took leave to rest at home alone.
But he was not lying on the bed at the moment, but sitting on the sofa and watching TV in a daze.
There was a can of beer on the coffee table, and he had opened his mouth at this moment. He picked up the beer with a slight trembling and took a few sips.
Doctors strictly prohibited him from drinking alcohol. But he didn't care at the moment.
On TV, capable hosts broadcast news from all over the world in standard Mandarin. He seemed to be watching attentively, but his attention didn't seem to be on it. He looked at the time from time to time, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.
"An urgent message is inserted below."
Sun Lide tensed up and straightened up subconsciously. He grasped the beer can with a little force and flattened the beer can slightly.
"Severe Tropical Storm No. 17 has intensified into a typhoon and is expected to land in coastal areas this evening. The meteorological department has issued strong wind and heavy rain warnings..."
call……
Sun Lide let out a breath, relaxed his body again, lay on the back of the sofa, put the beer can to his mouth, and took another sip.
After the weather news broadcast was completed, the anchor's figure appeared on the screen again.
This time, Sun Lide saw a heavy look on her face.
"Our station has just received an unexpected message. According to the civil aviation management department, flight EU7655 lost contact 20 minutes ago. At present, the relevant departments have launched an emergency plan..."
The host was still telling the details about this flight, but Sun Lide could no longer hear anything.
His body was shaking uncontrollably, his teeth were chattering, and he couldn't help but squeeze the beer can with his palms. The beer overflowed, soaking his pants and sofa cushions.
At this moment, he only felt a rumbling in his head, and a sentence kept exploding in his head like thunder, making it impossible for him to even think normally at this moment.
"It's a wreck! It's really a wreck! It's really a wreck!"
He panted violently, and it was not until the news about flight EU7655 was finished, and several other pieces of news were broadcast, that he slowly recovered.
The cell phone rang. He stood up and tried to get his phone, but his legs gave out and he almost fell. I finally managed to stabilize my body, but my legs seemed to be filled with lead. I could only move slowly and could not walk normally.
Taking the phone in his hand and looking at the caller's number, he immediately took two deep breaths under control and managed to calm down before answering the call.
"Old Sun, how are you doing now?"
"It's... not bad."
"Originally I didn't want to disturb your recovery, but now there is an emergency..."
"I know, I saw it on TV." Sun Lide said with some trembling: "Air crash, air crash."
The voice on the phone became more and more heavy: "Yes. Although there is no follow-up news yet, we are all industry insiders. Looking at this situation, 99% of it is a plane crash. Now the superiors have presided over the establishment of an investigation team , we need to transfer authoritative engineers from our factory. After much thought, I think only you can do this."
Sun Lide was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go."
"Is your illness okay?"
"A little illness, it's okay."
"Okay, you come to my office immediately to report."
The aftermath of the incident gradually became clear with the passage of time. More information was gradually unearthed.
As a member of the EU7655 air crash investigation team, what Sun Lide saw was first-hand information.
First of all, the disappearance of flight EU7655 has been clearly classified as an air crash. The plane was suspected to have exploded at an altitude of several thousand meters. The plane then lost control and eventually crashed into the gentle slope of a mountain.
The aircraft debris was scattered as far as more than ten kilometers away.
It is fortunate that such an air crash did not cause additional deaths to people on the ground. As for the survivors in the plane, that is impossible.
Not even a complete body.
The only good thing is that, judging from the information currently available, everyone in the plane lost consciousness in advance before the plane finally crashed.
Their death is painless.
About five hours after the accident, the emergency air crash investigation team, including Sun Lide, finally arrived at the scene. Prior to this, local security and rescue forces had cordoned off the entire scene and conducted preliminary searches.
In the process of mankind's conquest of the blue sky, countless forerunners have been sacrificed and many accidents have occurred. It is precisely because of these numerous accidents and because of the investigation, reflection and improvement of each accident that aviation has become safer and safer.
Although it is still impossible to absolutely avoid accidents - that is impossible, at least it has reduced the accident rate to the extreme.
These numerous accidents have also provided traces for post-accident investigations and formed a set of fairly complete procedures.
As an authoritative engineer related to the aircraft manufacturing industry, Sun Lide has participated in the investigation of aircraft accidents more than once. At this moment, with his participation, the search, collection, and analysis of the wreckage are proceeding in an orderly manner.
Two black boxes were found and sent to recover data, and most of the wreckage was collected and transported away.
This took about a week. After that, the search operation continued, but Sun Lide knew that subsequent searches would only be able to find some marginal things at most. Because all the valuable wreckage has been found.
Analysis of the cause of the accident began.
After countless discussions, restorations, tests, and simulations, a complete logical chain gradually emerged in front of the investigators.
First of all, among the two turbine engines of this aircraft, the one on the right had a relatively minor hidden damage to a blade of the turbine fan. Because it was too small, it was not found during routine maintenance and testing.
Generally speaking, this kind of small hidden damage will gradually increase and eventually show detectable external signs. Then it will be discovered before the final damage, so that it can be dealt with without causing any serious consequences.
But in this accident, when the aircraft began to lower its altitude, due to some special climatic reasons or engineering reasons, it may also be mechanical reasons. Many experts, including Sun Lide, are more inclined to climatic reasons, which led to the accident. The temperature of the turbofan increased and decreased rapidly, repeated several times. This change amplified and aggravated the hidden damage, causing the fan blade to break and be thrown directly out, and ultimately caused the right turbine engine to explode.
Originally, with the structure of this type of aircraft, if one engine failed, it would not cause the aircraft to crash. In an even more extreme situation, even if both engines fail and the aircraft completely loses power, the aircraft can glide far away by gliding alone. Based on the position it was in at the time, there is a complete chance of gliding to the nearest airport for an emergency landing.
If it doesn't work, even if it makes an emergency landing on the water or the ground, it is very likely that not all passengers will be killed, and there will be a high probability of survivors.
But unfortunately, the damage to this engine caused a series of chain reactions, each step of which pushed the aircraft further into the abyss of crashing. However, any change in any step in this chain reaction may not lead to the final tragedy.
But the tragedy eventually happened.
At this moment, only about two months have passed since the tragedy occurred. At this moment, it cannot be said that this air crash has been thoroughly investigated, but Sun Lide knows that the structural things have been investigated clearly at this moment.
All that needs to be done in the future is just to investigate many details.
They have little impact on the overall conclusion.
So Sun Lide truly confirmed one thing.
This air crash was definitely not man-made. Absolutely no one or force intentionally promoted this air crash. This accident was purely a random incident.
This plane had bad luck. The superposition of many uncontrollable and low-probability events ultimately led to this result.
No one pushed it, no one could predict it, it was a completely random event with low probability.
After finishing his work for the day, he returned to the hotel where he was staying in a daze.
But he didn't go straight to sleep. After a short rest, he walked out of the room again.
A colleague who happened to meet him said hello: "Worker Sun, are you still awake?"
"If you can't sleep, go for a walk."
The two passed by each other.
After leaving the hotel, Sun Lide slowly walked onto the city road under the light.
It was already late at night, and except for some shops that were open all night, all other shops were closed.
He casually walked into a remote alley and never came out again.
About an hour later, a man riding an electric bike came here. After that, a voice full of fear and urgency came out: "Hey, is this 110? Someone is dead, come quickly!"
The shrill siren cut through the quiet night sky.
When Sun Lide's wife and children rushed to the hospital, what they saw was Sun Lide's cold body.
The low temperature of the freezer in the morgue made Sun Lide's body appear an abnormal blue-black color at this moment.
The forensic doctor wore a mask and could not see his expression. His tone was full of stylized words: "The preliminary conclusion is cardiac arrest and sudden death. If you don't agree with this conclusion, you can apply for an autopsy."
Sun Lide's wife stretched out her hand and touched Sun Lide's face tremblingly. Suddenly her body went limp and she fell to the ground, holding on to the cart, and burst into tears.
