United States, New York, InterContinental Times Square Hotel.
In a luxurious suite, three Americans were watching the TV broadcast.
Scott, Martin, and Harris had just returned and were drinking and chatting leisurely.
Goddess-09 fell by parachute. The rich Americans don't care about airplanes or anything like that. The impact of the fall has no impact on superpowers like them. The whole process is clean and tidy, and they can leave on their own without even using rescue forces.
However, their whereabouts were still caught by the media, so even though they originally wanted to keep a low profile, they could not escape the reporters.
Most of the people in District 73 have gone back, and only the three of them are left to attend press conferences and various awards events in the next few days. They need to tell lies to get through and smear the Orient Express.
This is the task of political correctness and cannot be avoided.
Fortunately, the conditions were pretty good. The consortium booked them the best hotel in New York with the best service, which was considered an investment to make them be merciful.
What they are watching now is the live landing at Tokyo Narita Airport. In the remote shot, a plane is hovering in the sky, and the logo of Orient Express-01 is very conspicuous.
"That guy hit me with the nose gear!" Scott gritted his teeth.
Martin smiled and said: "But they also lost more than they gained. No, the front landing gear wheel is gone. It seems that in this case, there is no other way besides ditching at sea, right?"
Scott resented it. For Goddess-09, the parachute landing was uneventful and no one died or was injured. This is a kind of success; but this kind of success has nothing to do with the level of the pilot. It is a kind of success within the space pilot.
The performance of incompetence means that the pilot is helpless to deal with the dangerous situation, so he adopts such a once-and-for-all tactic of pushing safety to the parachute system.
In their circle, although no one said it explicitly, the real skill was not to use space guidance, not to use a parachute to land, and to land by one's own ability. From this point of view, he was unqualified.
The tail of the Goddess-09 is damaged in a collision, but it is not completely uncontrollable. However, the risk judgment involved is very annoying; to Americans, the value of an aircraft is nothing at all, especially if it is someone else.
aircraft, so he used the parachute method without hesitation. This was also the common request of the crew members in Area 73. They did not want to put themselves in danger because of Scott's display of flying skills.
This is the safest response. Life is priceless, but airplanes are valuable. If Orient Express-01 also adopted the parachute method, he would feel better, but now Orient Express has chosen to land normally, at least at this time
In the circle, Hua people are more courageous than him.
This was unacceptable to him and was also the reason why he was in a bad mood.
Martin was very busy, "My friend, you don't need to be depressed. The fundamental of flying is safety. Any risk that ignores safety is irresponsible. I think we can say something about this at the press conference and let that
The people of Hua country are trapped in the whirlpool of public opinion and cannot extricate themselves."
Scott was still confident, "As a pilot, I don't want any air crash to happen in front of my eyes, but this man and his Orient Express brought it upon themselves. If they hadn't hit us, their front wheels wouldn't have been either."
It will fall..."
Martin smiled, disdainful of the hypocritical guy in front of him, and looked at his companion, Area 73 External Liaison Officer Harris,
"Harris, what are you busy with? Silence is not your character."
Harris put down his cell phone, "I know the reason why they didn't parachute. A friend from an island country told me that the reason why the Orient Express didn't parachute was just because Lee's bullet damaged its parachute system..."
Both Scott and Martin were a little silent. Harris sneered, "So, don't look for those false reasons. They are our enemies, so everything we do is what we should do. There is nothing wrong with striking first. You don't do it at all."
We need to find an honest reason for this, that is what politicians do, our task is to find them and eliminate them, there is no need to have any psychological burden."
Seeing that both of them were a little embarrassed, Harris didn't want to provoke them too much, so he changed the topic.
"Do you know how they plan to land?"
Martin was indifferent to this, but Scott was curious because of his career, "How to land? It shouldn't hover here, but should find a calmer sea."
Harris looked at him, "So I said, you don't have the imagination of that Huaguo pilot! He didn't intend to make an emergency landing on the sea, but landed normally on the runway."
Scott didn't believe it at all, "It's impossible! Without the front wheel, the plane can't run more than 100 meters and it will turn into a pile of pieces!"
Harris smiled mysteriously, "What if they prepared a wheel for the plane?"
………………
On the Internet, someone started a live broadcast for this landing, and some Internet celebrity reporters even sneaked in to enjoy the scene; because there were so many viewers, one live broadcast room had to be divided into several live broadcast rooms, and then divided into several live broadcast rooms like cell fission.
Hundreds and thousands of them. As the Orient Express was still circling in the sky and consuming fuel, the heat of this landing also spread from the island country to the birch country, and then spread throughout the world.
A plane loses its front wheel after landing, and plans to use a heavy-duty engineering tractor to replace the front wheel to help the plane glide. This kind of thing that once only happened in advertisements will one day become a reality. It really makes people lament the madness of this world.
The aviation industry does not want such scenes to appear directly in front of the public. Success has little to do with them. People will only praise the pilot's superb skills. However, if it fails, the aerospace industry will suffer a heavy reputational blow.
But they couldn't stop the reporters, because there were other forces adding fuel to the fire, hoping to see the coalition make a fool of themselves. See Hua Guo make a fool of themselves.
An emergency landing of a plane attracted a lot of attention, and the competition between countless forces vividly demonstrated the filthiness of this world.
Putting aside politics, some commercial companies are also uneasy about this, such as Huaguo's Liuyi Heavy Industry.
That heavy-duty engineering tractor is their product. When it comes time to show off, they don’t know whether it’s better to promote themselves? Or not to promote it?
They are worried that the pilot will mess things up due to improper operation, and they are even more worried that their product will fall apart when it is pressed down by hundreds of tons of aircraft. It is not that they have no confidence in their product, but that this thing is not designed to be used at all.
Yes!
Under static conditions, there is no problem with the engineering tractor carrying the weight of the front wheel body of the landing gear; but if it is around 160 knots and a speed of nearly 300 kilometers, who can guarantee it?
It’s more than ten times higher than the tractor’s design speed of 20 kilometers per hour!
The Chairman of Liuyi Heavy Industry is sitting at home and trouble comes from the sky. What should he do?
