As the number of civil aircraft increases, so do the accidents. This is the second accident this month for all civil aircraft in the world combined. Fortunately, there has been no accident so far.
There have been major disasters such as direct plane crashes, so there has been no impact on the sales of aircraft.
The pilots of the plane O'Connor and Baekeland were flying were both skilled pilots who had participated in the World War. Even when two engines failed, they still insisted on flying the plane back to the airport.
Before the plane stopped, the second engine on the right also made a bang. This time the explosion was more violent. Half of the wing was blown off. The plane lost its balance instantly. The other wing hit the ground and scraped against the runway.
A glide of Mars.
Airport ground staff were well prepared. Several fire trucks were chasing the plane on the runway, spraying water to cool it down. There were also ambulances chasing the plane, ready to rescue the injured. There were already staff waiting at the end of the runway, and everyone was helping the taxiing passengers.
Airplane prayer.
Fortunately, the two pilots were indeed very skilled, and the transport plane taxied on the runway for about 150 meters, barely stopping at the end of the airport runway.
The situation at the scene was extremely thrilling. If the plane overran the runway, it would most likely roll over and explode, and even gods would be unable to save O'Connor and Baekeland.
This time also reflected the speed and efficiency of the airport staff. O'Connor and Baekeland were still shivering in blankets next to the plane and had not recovered. The airport had arranged for O'Connor and Baekeland to continue taking another plane to Nia.
Saran.
"No, I won't fly. From now on, I will never fly again unless you kill me now." Baekeland was firm. He didn't want to experience another fright in the air.
"Leo, believe me, it was just an accident. This kind of situation doesn't happen often." O'Connor tried his best to persuade. After getting used to the efficiency and convenience of airplanes, it was indeed difficult to tolerate the speed of trains.
"I'm sorry gentlemen, the aerial experience for you this time was not that pleasant. Fortunately, we all survived, but we can no longer accompany you on the next journey. We have to write a report
, and will be investigated. I wish you a happy journey." The captain came over to apologize. Regardless of whether they were responsible or not, they would cooperate with the airport and Nyasaland Airlines in the investigation.
Transport aircraft are still very primitive until now. Nyasaland Airlines has been making improvements to transport aircraft. Every air accident actually represents a major hidden danger. As long as the problem continues to be solved, similar accidents will become less and less.
"It's okay Captain, I won't be sorry. On the contrary, we want to thank you. Without the superb skills of you two, we might all be dead now. If you need my cooperation for anything, please don't be polite. Even if I am in Los Angeles, I will
I'll be here at any time." O'Connor kept thanking him. No one wanted to see an accident happen, and the two pilots were indeed admirable.
Although the co-pilot is a bit funny.
"Friends from the United States, are you okay? I'm sorry, I hope you don't take it to heart." The captain apologized specifically to Baekeland, and took a silver-white airplane model from the co-pilot's hand: "This is for you, on behalf of
My personal apologies, I hope you will not be afraid of flying because of this, this is always a game for the brave, God bless you."
If possible, Baekeland really wanted to refuse this gift.
However, the aircraft model handed over by the captain was really exquisite. Baekeland took it subconsciously, still a little embarrassed: "O'Connor is right, we should thank you for your gift. I will never forget this."
one day."
I will definitely never forget it. It wasn’t until Baekeland got on the plane again that Baekeland discovered that the plane was actually not that scary.
This time we were on a passenger plane. The cabin was full with 45 people and two service staff. O'Connor and Baekeland could only sit in the cockpit.
But this time, Baekeland didn't have to sit in the suitcase. The stewardess specially added a chair in the cockpit for Baekeland and brought some snacks for Baekeland.
Today's airplanes do not serve alcohol, and there are no toilets on board, which would be troublesome if you have an emergency.
"Welcome to this flight, you two bastards, I heard that you just almost made a plane fall from the sky." The captain's welcome words made Baekeland feel embarrassed.
O'Connor was also embarrassed, but the embarrassment did not last long. The captain followed up with a smile and said: "Just kidding, don't be angry. What happened just now? William and I were shocked. When you landed, we
Hovering in the air."
"We don't know, maybe we are really bad," O'Connor laughed at himself. The captain and the co-pilot laughed at the same time, and then the co-pilot handed over two empty Coca-Cola bottles with a smile on his face.
Coca Cola
empty bottle
O'Connor blinked his mung bean eyes and looked at the co-pilot, who turned around with a chuckle.
O'Connor looked at the bottle again and suddenly realized.
Eh, that's disgusting.
The plane took to the skies again without any incident.
Baekeland was still frightened, but he felt much better now. Probably because there were more people on the passenger plane, Baekeland felt safer psychologically.
"Does this happen often?" Baekeland wanted to yell even if he wanted to talk to O'Connor.
"How is that possible? It was just an accident." O'Connor was also yelling. In fact, the experience in the cockpit is really not as good as in the cabin. The cabin of a passenger aircraft has been specially soundproofed. Although there is still noise, the noise is smaller than in the cockpit.
a lot of.
"How long will it take for us to arrive in Los Angeles?" Baekeland made the sign of the cross on his body.
"Three hours!" O'Connor only thinks of God when he encounters danger. He is now enjoying the scenery outside the cockpit with his legs crossed.
The scenery is really good. Luocheng Elementary School conducted statistics a few years ago. The most popular occupation among children is not civil servants or bank executives, but train drivers. The reason is that train drivers are still driving trucks.
Able to enjoy the scenery along the way.
At that time, piloting was probably not an option, so piloting did not become the most popular profession among children.
From a pure perspective of enjoying the scenery, the pilot's perspective is better than that of the train driver.
When the plane is flying thousands of meters high, it sometimes passes through the clouds. The dreamlike clouds and mist seem to be within reach. The endless mountains pass under the belly of the plane, and each square farm looks like a
The squares on the chessboard and the houses are as small as matchboxes. It really feels like overlooking all living beings.
God's perspective!
Three hours passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was only half past twelve when we arrived in Los Angeles.
"If there are no accidents, we should arrive in Los Angeles around eleven o'clock." O'Connor's face looked a little ugly.
"What's wrong with you?" Baekeland gasped while dragging his luggage. Fortunately, there was a taxi service outside the airport.
"I missed the free lunch at noon!" O'Connor's angle was weird, but it was a pity that Baekeland didn't understand what O'Connor meant.
There is no free lunch in America.
When he walked out of the airport, Baekeland was shocked by everything that appeared in front of him.
In the past, Baekeland always believed that New York was the greatest city in the world, but now it seems that Los Angeles is not much worse than New York.
At least you can still sometimes see horse-drawn carriages on the streets of New York, but you can no longer see horse-drawn carriages on the streets of Los Angeles. The only people qualified to ride horses in Los Angeles are the Mounted Police, and only on Cecil Rhodes Plaza and Sunset Boulevard.
Only then.
Different from the all-black Model T cars in New York, the cars on the streets of Los Angeles have more colors and styles, including passionate red, quiet and restrained blue, elegant and stable gray, and only black ones are spacious and comfortable.
Lord cars will only be used.
O'Connor stopped a green taxi, and only then did Baekeland notice that it seemed that only taxis were green.
This made Baekeland very confused. Green represents life and health in the West and has no other meaning.
O'Connor introduced Baekeland to the special meaning of green among the Chinese community, which made Baekeland even more puzzled.
The relationship between white people is indeed chaotic, even in the United States, a Puritan country.
The Puritans in the United States are just words. If you get to the bottom of it, it is as disgusting as the origin of Thanksgiving.
As the taxi sped along, Baekeland was deeply impressed by the smooth and wide roads. Even the roads in downtown Manhattan in New York were full of potholes and had never been repaired.
In Los Angeles, even the roads on the outskirts of the city are flat and spacious to the point where Baekeland feels like a waste.
It was only after Baekeland learned that the cement in southern Africa was produced from Fawalt that Baekeland realized it later.
Compared with the United States, it seems that human resources in Nyasaland seem to be cheaper. Of course, this is only for certain special industries.
Since he missed the free lunch, when O'Connor sent Baekeland to the Rhodesia Hotel, he simply stayed at the Rhodesia Hotel for a meal.
When checking into the hotel, Baekeland still wanted to pay as usual, and O'Connor reminded Baekeland that all of his current expenses would be borne by Rock's office.
All expenses!
For a moment, the evil thoughts in Baekeland's mind disappeared.
But Baekeland calmed down immediately. This "everything" must have a limit. The cost of staying in a hotel can be borne by Rock's office, but the cost of shopping is probably not covered by Rock's office.
And if Rock has a prejudice against Baekeland due to these reasons, it will create hidden dangers for the next meeting with Rock.
Of course it's no problem to have a meal. The Rhodesia Hotel's buffet is very famous, especially the fried whitebait, which is praised by everyone who has eaten it.
ps: Today’s chapter is still very good. I have been preparing a new book recently. I read a lot of information every day. I feel like I have worked harder than my senior year in high school. If I had worked so hard back then, I wouldn’t have to stay at home and type every day now.
