Chapter 668 Forced Landing
Yang Jing asked, "Captain, where are we now?"
The captain replied quickly: "If our route is normal, it should be above Logansport at this time, but because our plane took a two-minute descent and had deviated from the original route when it flipped, we are about to be between Logansport and Campty. It is already very close to the Toledo Bend Reservoir."
While speaking, a vast lake was already seen in front of me. Judging from the narrow and narrow lake surface of the north and south, this lake should be the Toledo Bend Reservoir located at the junction of Texas and Louisiana.
This reservoir is a huge artificial reservoir formed by cutting off the Sabin River in the 1960s. It has an average width of more than six kilometers and a length of nearly ninety kilometers. It is the largest artificial lake in the southwest United States.
The reservoir has sufficient water surface length to make the plane land. Everyone knows that it is much better to make the landing on the water surface than to make the landing on the ground. After all, the buffering force on the water surface can protect the aircraft's body from disintegration to the greatest extent, and can also limit the occurrence of fires to the greatest extent. If the landing on the water surface can be successfully made, the survival probability of passengers in the plane will be greatly improved.
When Nathan saw this vast water surface, his face showed joy and said quickly: "Captain, we have controlled our flight posture now, but if we want to make a landing, we must flip the plane over again. So, if we want to make a landing on the lake, we must flip it again now, otherwise we will miss the opportunity to make a landing on the lake."
The captain bit his back teeth and said to the radio: "Houston, Houston, this is a152. We are flying backwards now, so the flight attitude is temporarily controlled. But because we have already emptied all the fuel just now, we must make a forced landing now. We are preparing to make a forced landing on the water surface of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. Houston is asking nearby personnel to come to rescue. We only have two minutes, and we only have two minutes!"
"Toledo Bend Reservoir? Received. We will arrange rescuers immediately! a152, God is with you..."
After saying these words, the captain looked at the co-pilot, then turned the communication switch to the internal communication channel and said calmly: "Dear passengers, this is the captain. We must all understand the situation now. The plane has lost control, but I want to take you to successfully make a landing. I am confident that this plane will successfully make a landing. So, you don't have to panic. You must sit in your seat and tie your seat belts. We will flip the plane again now. You must follow the instructions to make an anti-shock preparation. We expect to land on the water surface in two minutes..." The captain hesitated for a moment, but still said, "God is with us!"
There was another noisy sound from the cabin behind, but as the plane turned and flipped again, the cabin behind suddenly became quiet. Perhaps at this time, all the passengers were praying devoutly.
Just after the plane turned over smoothly, the altitude of the plane had dropped to less than two thousand feet. The Toledo Bend Reservoir was less than one kilometer ahead. But at this moment, the plane suddenly shook again, and the co-pilot shouted in horror: "Sir, one of our engines has stopped..."
No wonder, when the dive just now, all the fuel in the aircraft fuel tank was discharged. The only fuel that could persist in making the aircraft flip over again is God's blessing.
The captain was obviously already giving up at this time. He nodded to show his understanding, then turned to Yang Jing and Nathan and said, "Gentlemen, thank you for this wonderful idea. We have now barely controlled our flight posture. We will make a forced landing on the lake in about twenty seconds, so you two should go back to your seat and tie your seats."
Yang Jing and Nathan looked at each other, and turned their heads and ran away without even being vague. At this time, you can't stand like this, otherwise the huge impact force during the forced landing could kill them.
As soon as he returned to his seat, the plane vibrated violently again, and a uniform scream sounded from the cabin again. Yang Jing shook his head with a wry smile, knowing that this was the last engine of the plane had stopped.
The originally noisy plane suddenly became quiet. At this time, the plane could only rely on inertia to glide. As for whether it could land on the water surface, it was really only possible to look at God's expression.
There are only two first class passenger aircraft of this Boeing 737, and six business class behind it. However, on this flight, there is only one first class passenger, Yang Jing. So at this time, Yang Jing has already prepared to launch the restricted-level time and space shuttle skills at any time. As long as something is wrong with the plane, he will immediately leave this time and space.
At this time, I no longer care about whether to expose or not, and I save my life first.
The plane was gliding quietly in the air. Yang Jing could vaguely hear the alarm sounding outside. He looked out through the porthole. A large number of ambulances and speedboats had gathered on the ground and water not far away.
......
Jenny Potts and Clark Gad are a newly married young couple who are driving on the inner-state 7 highway from Cent to Logan Post, where they are about to drive out of Texas at Logan Post and then enter Louisiana.
The temperature in Texas in March is the most suitable. The newlywed couple drove a convertible sports car, listening to the dynamic music played by the audio recorder in the car, looking at each other from time to time, and everything was in infinite warmth.
Suddenly, a harsh roar sounded in the sky. Jenny, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned her head and looked into the sky, then opened her mouth in surprise and could no longer close it. Mr. Gaid, who was driving on the side, took the time to turn his head and look at his wife, but was frightened by his wife's look of surprise. Then he subconsciously turned around and looked at the sky behind him, and then he couldn't help but brake suddenly.
"Oh Maiga! What is this? Is the war going on?" As soon as the car was parked, Gad saw a Boeing passenger plane flying upside down roaring past his head. Although the plane was quite high from the ground, at this position, it was obviously very, very abnormal to such a plane flying upside down flying over such a low altitude.
"Dear, there is obviously something wrong with this plane. Let's follow it and take a look!" Jenny looked at the plane flying lower and lower, and said with a worried look on her face, "Maybe we can do anything else."
Gad looked at his wife, nodded, then stepped on the accelerator under his feet, and the brand new convertible sports car roared and drove quickly forward along the highway.
"Look, this plane is going to flip again! God! The pilot of this plane is so crazy. This is a large passenger plane. How could it be a maneuvering action of a fighter?" Gad said, controlling the steering wheel with one hand and pointing at the passenger plane that was flipping for the second time.
Jenny beside him photographed him, "Please be careful to drive, don't stare at that plane."
Gad stuck out his tongue and smiled at his wife. Then, as soon as he turned on the steering wheel, the car drove from State 7 to a county road. It was an absolute small road, but it was very flat and there were no cars. Gad could increase the speed again so that he could keep up with the flipped plane.
The most important thing is that the road in this county leads directly to the shore of the Toledo Bend Reservoir, which is exactly the same as the plane's flight direction. As long as they drive along this road, they can see how the plane made a forcibly landing.
And at this moment, Gad and Jenny heard another roar behind him, and then a black challenger roared over the cars.
Gad smiled helplessly. The speed of this big-horsepower muscle car is not comparable to that of a convertible like them. Moreover, his newlywed wife was sitting in his car, so Gad did not dare to speed up again.
But the scene that followed made Gad and Jenny unable to help it. Just after the Challenger had just overtaken, a high-powered motorcycle pulled two young men and roared over their cars. The young man sitting in the back seat of the motorcycle lifted his helmet and mask, turned his head and shouted to Gad and Jenny, "How can you keep up with that plane at this speed? Man, if you want to see what the plane will be like, you should speed up."
After saying that, the high-powered motorcycle burst into a huge roar again, followed the challenger quickly forward.
Jenny and Gad looked at each other again, and Jenny gritted her teeth and said, "Speed up and catch up with those two guys!"
The 7th State Highway is southwest-northeast, but as the plane flew over Ged and their heads and flipped for the second time, the plane's course had been adjusted from east to south. Obviously, the plane wanted to make an emergency landing on the water.
So Gad obeyed his wife without hesitation. When he stepped on the accelerator under his feet, the car immediately accelerated and drove forward quickly.
However, although their cars were very fast, they were still successively overtaken by some police cars and ambulances with sirens, firetrucks, and obviously, these vehicles were all ready to go to rescue.
When Gad and Jenny watched the plane turn back from the backward state and return to the forward flight, the altitude of the plane was less than two thousand feet from the ground. The most important thing was that the aircraft's engine was shut down, and the original roaring sound disappeared immediately, and the sounds that could be heard around were the alarm sounds.
Then, just arrived at the lake, Gad and Jenny saw the plane that had no sound flying lower and lower, and finally hit the lake about five hundred meters away from the shore, splashing a huge wave, and then the plane began to glide on the water with the help of inertia.
