Chapter 433 Death Choice
When it comes to what airplanes are most afraid of, there are too many to mention, but sudden bad weather is definitely a fatal threat, especially helicopters, which are very sensitive to airflow.
They are now in a mountainous area, surrounded by ravines, and the complex terrain will produce complex airflows.
For some unknown reason, a strong wind suddenly blew around, and the wind direction kept changing.
The pilot clutched the control stick tightly and began to sweat on his forehead. In such strong wind weather, even the most experienced pilot was not sure he could pass safely.
Yu Fei and others hurriedly grabbed the handle inside the cabin, all of them looked ugly. They were now hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters high in the air. If something happened, even Yu Fei had no chance of surviving.
"Brother Dong, it's me who has caused trouble for you!"
Yu Fei turned to Dong Shan and said apologetically.
"Don't talk nonsense, hold on tight, and wait until you survive!"
Dong Shan was also very scared, everyone was afraid of death, but he was also loyal and had no intention of blaming Yu Fei.
Helicopters are no better than ordinary airplanes. Once something goes wrong, it is impossible to use a parachute to skydive. The airplane will spin in the air, and people who jump out may be beaten to pulp by the wings. In addition, the flying altitude of helicopters is generally very low, and parachutes have
There was no time to open it, so the survival rate after the helicopter accident was very low.
Cold sweat broke out on everyone's backs. When people are in the air, their lives cannot be controlled by themselves. At this moment, the three people's eyes are fixed on the pilot. This person is the key to everyone's survival.
Of course the pilot didn't want to get into trouble. He was controlling the plane with all his strength, slowly lowering the altitude, his brows tightly knitted together, and cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
The plane was constantly bumping, like a lonely boat in the sea, with the possibility of capsizing at any time.
"There is a lake ahead. Can you swim? I'm preparing to make an emergency landing!"
The pilot stared straight ahead, and suddenly saw a blue lake. He asked a few people, if the plane lands on the ground, it is very likely to catch fire and explode, so the lake is the best choice, but there is still life.
Dangerous, but the chance of survival is slightly higher.
"meeting!"
The three people almost answered in unison, but when he finished speaking, Scar glanced at his empty left shoulder but did not add anything.
The plane flew forward staggeringly, and the pilot was highly concentrated. Yu Fei and others did not dare to disturb them, and could only stare at the situation ahead.
At that time, everyone was looking at the scenery, hoping that the plane would fly slower and appreciate it slowly, but they wanted to teleport to the top of the lake immediately.
"No! You can't fly there!"
Scar suddenly shouted loudly.
When Scar spoke to stop him at this time, neither Yu Fei nor Dong Shan could understand, and even the pilot was stunned.
"We should be in the middle of the cyclone now! That is, a tornado. If it flies towards the lake, it is the edge of the cyclone, and the wind speed will be faster. The direction 35 degrees behind us is the center of the cyclone. The wind speed in the center of the cyclone is slow!
"
Scar quickly expressed his judgment. He had been observing the situation outside through the glass of the cabin, and found that the surrounding trees fell down, forming a circle, rolled up fallen leaves and other items.
, not flying in a straight line, but in an arc.
Therefore, if you continue to fly towards the lake, as the wind speed increases, the danger will become greater and greater.
Yu Fei and Dong Shan did not interrupt. They both looked at the pilot. It was best to say less at this time and leave the pilot enough space to think.
The pilot said nothing. After a few seconds, the plane began to turn. It seemed that he agreed with Scar's judgment and thought Scar's judgment was more reasonable.
The plane continued to sway in the strong wind, moving forward bit by bit with difficulty, but everyone found that as the plane turned and flew, the surrounding airflow was indeed slowing down, and the fuselage stabilized little by little, and everyone had relaxed smiles on their faces.
"This brother has great eyesight! You saved everyone's life!"
The pilot finally relaxed a little, turned to Scar, smiled, and said with admiration.
"I'm just guessing, it's all because of your skill."
Scar showed an embarrassed smile.
"We just don't know when the tornado will stop. This is a mountainous area and it is difficult to find a place to land. If we cannot land, we may need to keep looking for the center of the cyclone to maintain balance, but our fuel can only support it for an hour!"
The pilot looked at the instrument panel and said worriedly.
The cabin fell into silence again, and everyone's expression was very solemn, because this was a matter of life and death, and who would be willing to take life and death lightly unless they had no other choice.
The situation was as expected. After finally finding the center of the tornado, the terrain below was steep and there was no way to find a landing point.
The pilot was also in a bad mood. Tornadoes rarely appear on land, but such a large tornado was a rare occurrence in a century, and he unexpectedly encountered it.
Everyone looked at the steep rocks and cliffs below and knew that if they were forced to land, the aircraft would be destroyed and everyone would be killed.
Pilots do not dare to lower their altitude too low, because if the surrounding terrain is not flat enough, once it is too low to the ground, the aircraft itself will generate very unstable airflow around it. Once the aircraft loses control, the consequences will still be unpredictable.
So everyone can only hover in the air at a height of 100 meters, following the whirlwind while observing the surrounding terrain to find a place to land.
"This is a mountainous area with dense vegetation, sufficient rainfall, and complex terrain. During the day, the amount of evaporation is different, resulting in different ground temperatures. It is prone to various strong convective weather, so tornadoes are produced. If you want a tornado
It will disappear naturally and may have to wait until night."
Dong Shan took out his mobile phone and checked for a long time, then raised his head and said the worse news. It would be at least six or seven hours before dark, and the fuel on the plane would not last that long.
No one could think of a good solution, and they all fell into silence. Time passed quickly, and more than half an hour seemed to pass in a daze.
The fuel on the plane was getting less and less. The pilot looked at the fuel tank again and again, and the needle was about to point to the limit of fuel.
"No way, we have to make an emergency landing!"
The pilot turned his head and said with an ugly expression.
"Is there a better way to ensure everyone's life safety?"
Yu Fei frowned and asked the pilot.
"If there is a slightly flat terrain and there is a buffer below, try to lower the height, use the ladder to lower it to a certain height, and then jump down!"
The pilot thought for a while, pursed his lips and spoke with difficulty.
Others don't understand, but he himself knows that if this is the case, he will stay on the plane in the end, because only he can control the plane. Once he leaves, the helicopter may lose control and fall directly, so only three people can leave first. That way
If so, it is very likely that he will have to face the death threat alone.
This kind of thing extremely tests the quality of a pilot. After all, when people are about to die, they will have a variety of emotions and thoughts. Some people will have a fearless spirit, and some people will wish to use more pillows.
people.
"There is a small forest on the slope there. The branches can be used as a buffer when people jump down. Anyway, the plane does not need to land."
Dong Shan immediately pointed to a hillside not far away and said.
Without saying a word, the pilot changed direction and controlled the helicopter to fly over.
When the plane reached the top of the grove, the pilot turned to Yu Fei and others and nodded, but his face was very ugly. It seemed that he was ready to face greater danger.
"Scar, you go down first, grab the ladder, and I'll hang you down!"
Yu Fei opened the cabin door. Scar had lost an arm and had difficulty moving, so Yu Fei planned to let Scar grab the end of the ladder and hang him directly down, which would save time to the greatest extent.
"Go quickly!"
Dong Shan pushed Scar, who was still hesitating, as Dong Shan was a veteran and retained the spirit of a soldier who sacrificed himself for others.
Scar could only grit his teeth, walked over and grabbed the end of the ladder with one hand. Yu Fei pushed him down, and then quickly put the ladder down. When the ladder reached the limit, Scar was only two feet away from the ground.
About ten meters.
In order not to waste everyone's time, Scar let go of his hand without hesitation when the ladder reached the end, and fell from the air. Under Yu Fei's gaze, he landed above the woods, and was finally submerged in the green.
, and I don’t know what the situation is.
"Get off!"
Yu Fei pulled Dong Shan to the edge of the cabin. Dong Shan wanted to resist, but Yu Fei had already raised his foot, signaling that he would kick him down if he dared to talk nonsense.
What Dong Shan wanted to say was blocked by the big feet in front of him. At this time, the helicopter's fuel was about to run out, and he couldn't waste a second. He gritted his teeth, sighed and quickly climbed down the ladder.
.
Although they were in the center of the tornado, the wind speed was very slow and quite calm, but because of the strong airflow created by the wings themselves, the surrounding airflow was still very chaotic, and the helicopter was still shaking slightly.
When Dong Shan reached the end of the ladder, he glanced up and didn't see Yu Fei sticking his head out. A bad premonition appeared. He couldn't waste time, so he gritted his teeth and let go of his hand.
The grove they chose was surrounded by shrubs and grass. No one came there all year round, so there was a thick accumulation of fallen leaves.
Scar and Dong Shan originally had the idea of losing their lives, but they didn't expect that after falling, they were caught by a large number of branches, which alleviated the force a lot, and then fell into the bushes. When they finally fell to the ground, they actually felt
It's not that serious, just a lot of small wounds on the body from branches.
After the two landed safely, they both hurriedly looked up through the gaps in the branches and looked at the helicopter. After Dong Shan left the plane, Yu Fei did not appear above the ladder, and the helicopter was still hovering in the air.
Scar and Dong Shan's expressions changed drastically. They seemed to have guessed what was happening on the helicopter.
Sure enough, after more than ten seconds, someone came out of the cabin again and began to climb down the ladder. However, it was not Yu Fei, but the pilot.
The plane became less stable than before and began to shake violently, barely able to stay stable in the air.
After the two left, Yu Fei immediately stepped forward and asked the pilot to tell him how to temporarily control the plane so that it would not crash immediately.
Of course the pilot doesn't want to die. Whoever stays on the plane in the end will have a very slim chance of survival. An out-of-control helicopter is simply a death vortex. If you jump out, you will even be crushed to pieces by the wings in an instant.
