The sudden lightning was like a flashbang to Conan and Kidd. Conan, who was relatively fragile, couldn't bear the bright light and screamed in surprise.
The aircraft, which was already swaying in the wind and rain, became even more shaky after enduring such an impact.
"What's going on?"
"What is that?"
Conan and Kidd blurted out, and at the same time they understood what kind of situation they had encountered.
"Lightning." Yuan Huaiyu said the answer, "The plane was struck by lightning."
What appeared in front of the three people at this time was the dashboard that had all darkened after the lightning, and the misty city lights outside the front window.
"This is Flight 865!"
Kuroba Kaito said quickly.
"The lightning just now made the screen disappear!"
If the plane crashes at this time, the consequences will definitely be several times more serious than what happened just now!
Below is the city. If this flight crashes directly into the city, it will definitely be an unprecedented disaster!
"Calm down!"
The calm voice of a middle-aged man came from the intercom. Only Yuan Huaiyu could hear that the voice was beginning to sound a little hollow, and it was a sense of panic that only occurs when something unexpected happens.
But after all, Captain Shimaoka was still experienced and experienced in many battles, so he immediately gave the following instructions:
"Turn the white button next to the dashboard!"
Yuan Huaiyu immediately stretched out his hand, skillfully found the knob that Captain Shimaoka mentioned, and turned it.
Following his movements, the originally dark dashboard lit up one after another, returning to normal.
Before Conan and Kidd could breathe a sigh of relief, Yuan Huaiyu said in a deep voice: "It's not time to relax yet. The autonomous driving light hasn't turned on yet!"
"What did you say?!"
Captain Shimaoka's excited voice echoed in the cockpit.
"Stop landing immediately! Pull up the control stick as hard as you can!"
Under the gaze of Conan and Kidd, Yuan Huaiyu grasped the steering wheel-like joystick with both hands and suddenly pulled it upward.
Captain Shimaoka in the tower saw through the telescope that the passenger plane, which was originally in a dive attitude, started to climb significantly less than three seconds after his instructions. He understood that the young man who claimed to be able to fly a plane had followed his instructions.
Did it.
Having such a reliable person sitting in the cockpit undoubtedly gave Captain Shimaoka a shot in the arm.
He immediately said: "Very good! Retract the landing gear!"
Kidd stretched out his upper body, pulled the joystick that previously controlled the landing gear, and said into the headset: "Put it away."
"Very good, keep rising!"
But it was as if God was watching the passenger plane being tormented. Before Captain Shimaoka finished speaking, a strong wind hit, and the strong airflow almost blew the passenger plane over.
Conan in the cockpit was almost thrown directly against the wall. Fortunately, Yuan Huaiyu and Kuroba Kaito had quick eyesight and quick hands, and caught him on the left and right, which allowed him to stabilize his body.
"Oops! The plane was swept away by the wind!" Captain Shimaoka blurted out after realizing something was wrong.
He turned on the headset and said urgently: "Turn to the right immediately! Turn to the right quickly!"
From the perspective of everyone in the tower, in the heavy rain at night, the passenger plane was like a fly that had been swatted but was not dead. It could still fly, but it was no longer possible to distinguish between the east, west and north.
"If we continue like this, we will hit the tower!" A staff member had already exclaimed.
"Pull up the nose of the machine quickly!"
Yuan Huaiyu's expression was unusually solemn. He exerted force again and suddenly pulled up the joystick, trying to save the passenger plane that was about to fall.
In Captain Shimaoka's eyes, the bottom of the passenger plane was almost touching the barbed wire fence surrounding the airport, and he could even see violent sparks caused by the friction.
But even so, the altitude of the passenger plane is still too dangerously low. If the forward momentum is maintained...
"It's not good..." In the eyes of Captain Shimaoka and other tower staff, the passenger plane was getting bigger and bigger, almost rushing towards their faces...
The next moment, one of the plane's engines suddenly hit the top of the tower, and the huge impact directly lifted the entire top of the tower.
The colliding engine detached from the passenger plane and crashed onto the airport floor. It instantly exploded into a huge fireball. The violent shock wave and flame wave swallowed up various equipment vehicles on the floor and overturned them.
The flames did not stop there, but climbed up an oil pipeline along an oil truck and onto an unmanned passenger plane parked not far away.
"boom!!!"
The passenger plane was instantly engulfed in flames, exploded instantly, and burst into flames.
At this critical moment, the aircraft's manual control system finally did not malfunction. Under the control of Yuan Huaiyu's joystick, the aircraft's nose climbed upwards for a distance just before it hit the tower.
The fate of a machine crash and death.
Passengers at the airport who were notified that their flights were delayed due to weather conditions stood in front of the glass windows one by one, looking at the sea of fire on the ground. They were all shocked and speechless.
"How is the airport? Is the control tower okay?"
In the cockpit of the passenger plane, Conan and Kidd quickly recovered from their shock, regained their composure, and said in unison: "How is the airport? Is the control tower okay?!"
"How's the flight? Can you hear me?"
Captain Shimaoka's voice appeared in the cab, and the faces of Conan Kidd and Conan Kidd suddenly lit up.
If there is still sound, it means there is nothing wrong with the tower personnel and the equipment can continue to be used.
"Is the damage serious?" Yuan Huaiyu said, approaching the headset.
"No one in the tower was injured. I'm afraid the runway won't be available for use right away. Where are you?"
"The second engine has fallen off." Yuan Huaiyu's face was not pretty, but it wasn't much worse.
Although one engine was lost, as a passenger plane that can fly in the sky, normal flight can still be guaranteed if only one engine is lost.
Even if all four engines fall off, it may be able to land smoothly by gliding.
"It doesn't matter, just use the remaining three engines to land. But you have to pay attention to balance."
