TV Tokyo's morning animation channel was cut off, and what appeared on the screen was a video of Narita Airport, with descriptions from airport staff, evidence from all island air insiders, and of course explanations from countless so-called experts.
With the development of the communications industry, the boundary between entertainment and news has long been blurred. Ever since 1306 first sent out an emergency signal half an hour ago, reporters have been rushing here. As more and more planes are involved in accidents, more and more planes are arriving.
The reporters are growing exponentially, with such speed and professionalism that even the aviation industry can’t match it.
A reporter is talking to the camera, with the runway in the background.
"The latest news we have received is that Dahan Airlines 7125 crashed more than 50 miles west of the island sea 10 minutes ago. Haizi is currently conducting search and rescue operations, and no signs of survival have been found yet...
5 minutes ago, United Airlines 961 crashed in a rice field not far from Xinxie Airport, with unknown casualties...
The current situation of Dragon Airlines 256 is strange. I heard that the captain has closed the call...
Now what we are about to see is the landing of flight 1306 across the island. Whether it can be successful or not, we will wait and see!"
"...According to reliable information, these four flights entered the sky above the central part of the island sea at the same time and at the same place. They encountered a terrible situation. There is internal news that they may have come from an extraterritorial civilization!"
TV Tokyo interrupted its original program and began to report on the aviation accident. It seemed that something had really happened.
"As long as TV Tokyo is still broadcasting animation, everything will be fine." During major events such as the Gulf War in 1991 and "9/11" in the United States in 2001, when other channels on the island nation's TV stations were broadcasting emergency news, only TV Tokyo was still broadcasting them.
On-air animation and other entertainment programs have made the so-called "TV Tokyo Legend" a hot topic among netizens in the island country, and it has also been ridiculed as an "indicator" to evaluate the urgency of the incident.
This "meme" seems to have been recognized by TV Tokyo itself. In a special program commemorating the 50th anniversary of its launch (2014), TV Tokyo listed its "uninterrupted legendary history".
This topic is widely spread among the people of the island, and even appears in the island's film and television works. For example, in the zombie-themed movie "I AM A HERO" released in 2016, the male protagonist said "As long as TV Tokyo is still broadcasting animation,
Let's live in peace and harmony." has become a classic line.
The interruption this time is not entirely due to the aviation accident. What everyone is more concerned about is the terrifying prospect of extraterrestrial civilizations breaking the rules and starting to attack innocent humans on the earth!
Even TV Tokyo dare not sit back and watch such a prospect prediction!
………………
"Flight 961 made an emergency landing in a rice field 12 kilometers away from Xinxie Airport. The casualties are unknown!"
The people gathered here at the Tokyo Air Traffic Control Center got the bad news; all relevant units from the Island Air, Narita Airport, the Island Air Headquarters, the Emergency Department, the Transportation Headquarters, etc. are here, many of them.
One plane accident can attract the attention of all parties, but if there are four planes, it will be a huge disaster to the world today.
The newly leaked live video of the installation is meaningless because Flight 961 can't fly there at all. They could theoretically do it, but the mountains all over the island country prevent them.
"1306 will arrive here in 2 minutes!"
On the tower, a large group of concerned senior officials gathered in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, worried.
Two of the four accident flights have crashed. The 7125 was okay, with only 3 casualties at all costs. The 961 was too heavy. Those present were all experts in this industry, and they knew very well what the so-called forced landing was.
thing!
Although I never say this, aviation people actually call non-runway landings crashes! The casualties are certain, it’s just a proportion!
But they had no time to grieve. The local fire department and Lu Zi had already gone to the scene of the air crash near Xinjie to rescue them. They were all professionals. The follow-up work would be carried out one by one. There was nothing they could do about what had happened. The problem now is 1306!
“It’s still very important to be familiar with the landing environment!” a supervisor sighed.
The captain of Flight 961 is an American and flies on the Pacific route. He is used to entering Tokyo from the east of the island country and basically has no contact with the intricate mountainous environment of the island country; but this time because he had to avoid complex meteorological conditions,
As a result, he made a big circle and wound himself into a death trap!
The crew of flight 1306 is different. Captain Sekoshi Boatman and co-pilot Miura Naganobu are veterans of this long-running European route. They have great experience in crossing the continental shelf of the island country from the west; where will they pass through during the entire crossing process?
You know all the mountains and rivers in your mind. You can predict the terrain in advance and plan the best taxiing route in the air.
It is precisely because of such convenient conditions that Flight 961 was in trouble as soon as it entered the coastline, but Flight 1306 was able to penetrate deep into the Tokyo area; this was not only because it was the closest to the island country when the incident occurred, but also because of the familiar terrain.
Come with confidence!
When an aircraft lands in a difficult situation, it is very important that the crew is familiar with the terrain!
The weather conditions at Narita Airport were not good. It was still raining heavily and the wind was blowing, reaching a gust of 20 knots. This was a storm cloud coming from the Pacific Ocean, which Captain Jax of Flight 961 was trying to avoid.
He really avoided the thing, but fell into a more dangerous situation.
"Captain Sekoshi's last call a few minutes ago said that the aircraft control was not flexible. Although the overall control was controllable, the systems were slow to respond... This is exactly the same as the situation of Flight 961!
Heavy rain, gusty winds, loss of power, and sluggish control of the aircraft... It is actually a miracle that it can slide here from 200 kilometers away!"
This is what most people think, but they will not talk to the crew during this time. The few minutes before landing are the most dangerous period for the aircraft. There are countless operations and it should not be disturbed!
The tower control will give up after guiding the aircraft to the blind landing channel, and everything else is the crew's business!
Heyuan Zhengxiong held up his telescope and tried hard to find traces of 1306 in the heavy rain. He was a little worried that the approach altitude of 1306 was too low. If it touched down before it reached the runway, it would be a disaster immediately, a disaster happening right under his nose!
He felt that judging from the time, he should be able to see the plane. Why hasn't it appeared yet?
Hearing the exclamations of the people next to me, I subconsciously raised my telescope, and suddenly I saw a huge passenger plane swaying through the wind and rain, appearing directly in front of the airport runway!
