Chapter 723: Successful emergency landing!
…
"Sir, Sandy has experience in flying airplanes!" said the thin middle-aged man.
"Damn it, Cusack! I only learned to fly an airplane for two weeks, which adds up to less than 30 hours. Besides, I learned to fly sightseeing planes, not large passenger planes!" said the white man with eyes named Sandy.
Some said angrily.
"Mr. Sandy, please come with me, this plane needs you now!"
Although this person has only flown sightseeing planes, sightseeing planes are also planes, and having him is better than nothing, and time does not allow them to continue to grind on it now.
"Sir, I have never flown a large passenger plane, you have to believe me!" Sandy said quickly.
"I know, but if you want to survive, please cooperate with us in flying this plane, otherwise everyone will die here today. Now please make a choice between death and flying the plane!" Liu Dong said directly.
Liu Dong's words left Sandy no choice. No one in this world wants to die!
"Well, sir, please tell me how to do it!"
Liu Dong was secretly satisfied with Sandy's good sleep. He immediately pulled him into the cockpit and asked Del Roosevelt to spend a few minutes teaching him how to be a qualified co-pilot.
At this time, Liu Dong grabbed the earphones and said directly through the plane's PA system: "Everyone, the plane's fuel tank is damaged and the plane needs to make an emergency landing. So please return to your seat immediately and fasten your seat belts!
"
After repeating it again, Liu Dong called Will Hannah next to him!
"Liu, what are you doing?"
"Help me move these bodies out and fasten them with seat belts, otherwise there will be big trouble when the plane makes an emergency landing!"
Liu Dong's words made Will Hannah react.
After the two tied up more than a dozen corpses on the plane, they returned to the cockpit again.
"Are you ready? We don't have time!" Liu Dong said anxiously.
"Okay, now unlock the autopilot!" After Del. Roosevelt finished speaking, Sandy next to him also immediately started operating.
Soon, the plane returned to stability after turbulence for a while. However, the descent speed of 60 meters per second brought a strong sense of weightlessness.
About two minutes later, the plane left the stratosphere and descended to an altitude of 1,000 meters. At this time, the surrounding terrain was basically visible even with the naked eye!
"Damn it, why are there mountains all around?" Del. Roosevelt couldn't help but cursed.
If there is an airport nearby, they can land with the lowest risk. Even if there is no airport, even if there is a wide enough road, he is confident that the plane can stop safely.
But now everything is bare, and there are almost no green mountains or deep canyons. There is no human habitation, and there is no trace of human activity!
"This is Arizona!" said Sandy, the co-pilot next to him.
Arizona, also known as the 'Grand Canyon State'. It is the 48th state to join the United States and is located in the southwest of the United States. It borders New Mexico to the east, the Republic of Mexico to the south, and California across the Colorado River to the west.
It borders Nevada and Utah to the north, covering an area of 295,000 square kilometers, and the state capital is Phoenix.
"Arizona" comes from the Indian word, meaning "the land of few springs". The state is the driest state in the United States, with the annual precipitation in the driest areas being less than 300 millimeters.
So this state, which has a land area twice as big as Shandong Province, has less than one-tenth of the population of Shandong Province, which shows how desolate it is.
"We don't have time to find a suitable landing site. Let's descend down to a flatter canyon!" Liu Dong said anxiously.
Seeing that the entire plane was going to explode in 15 minutes, and some time had to be left for escape, the remaining time was not enough for them to find a better landing site.
"I know! But before the emergency landing, the oil inside the plane must be spilled out, otherwise it will be too dangerous to make an emergency landing!" With that said, Del. Roosevelt pressed a red button on the instrument.
Liu Dong also knew that the oil must be drained before making an emergency landing, otherwise these sticky guys would be much more dangerous than more than a hundred C4 pills!
However, the slowly falling fuel gauge made Liu Dong secretly anxious. If the plane made a successful emergency landing, it would take at least 5 to 10 minutes for more than 400 people to escape!
"Mr. Roosevelt, how long will it take to drain the oil?" Liu Dong said.
"It still takes 20 minutes!" After saying that, Del. Roosevelt looked a little ugly.
Before, he always thought that he could find a road or a nearby airport. After all, the road transportation and aircraft transportation in the United States are very developed, and the landing gear of the aircraft was not damaged, so it could take off and land more safely, so he did not drain the fuel in advance.
After all, airplanes still need gasoline as fuel.
But it's too late to start draining oil now.
In addition, the Boeing 747 is a large wide-body passenger aircraft with four engines, and its average fuel consumption per hour reaches 10.3 to 11 tons. The time from Los Angeles to New York is five hours, plus the aircraft generally has to set aside an hour for fuel.
To prevent accidents, this Boeing 747 still has at least 50 tons of aviation fuel after flying for an hour.
Discharging all 50 tons of aviation fuel is not something that can be done in a short time!
"Look, there is a large canyon ahead, and the terrain is relatively flat, which should be suitable for us to take off and land!"
After Sandy finished speaking, Liu Dong immediately unfastened his seat belt and stood up. When he walked to the window, he also saw the Grand Canyon that the other party mentioned!
This is a long and narrow valley bottom surrounded by mountains. Its length is more than 1,800 meters and its width is more than 500 meters. There is only a small amount of gravel near the mountains on both sides of the valley, and in the middle is Arizona.
The most common columnar cactus, as well as some unknown weeds, the most important thing is that it is flat enough!
"This is it!" Liu Dong made up his mind when he saw this canyon.
Although the conditions here are really poor compared to the take-off and landing of large aircraft, it is already the best emergency landing site around.
Liu Dong’s words were also recognized by Del. Roosevelt and Sandy!
"You two control the plane to hover over this canyon. I will go down below to find a way to spread the oil faster. When the oil gauge reaches the bottom, make an emergency landing immediately. Don't worry about me!" Liu Dong explained.
"Don't worry, Liu!"
Del. Roosevelt nodded.
He knows now is not the time for mother-in-law and mother-in-law!
Afterwards, Liu Dong left the cockpit as fast as he could, and then arrived at the third-floor cargo hold of the plane.
Liu Dong, who had the relic Yuanguang, knew very well where the oil tank was, so he was already standing next to the oil tank in less than half a minute.
After a brief thought, a steel spear nearly 2.8 meters long and as thick as an arm appeared in Liu Dong's hand. The irregular rhombus-shaped blade was more than half a meter long. It was gleaming with cold light and very sharp. The large red tassel was like a burning fire.
, the dark gun body is engraved with exquisite dragon patterns, it is very domineering, it is really a good long gun.
This gun was used by Liu Dong when he practiced martial arts, and he happened to be using it now.
After taking out the spear from the mustard space, Liu Dong, who was pressed for time, did not hesitate. He held the gun in his hand and flicked his wrist. The powerful force was instantly transmitted from his waist to his arm. He drove the spear in his hand like a poisonous dragon emerging from its cave, and easily penetrated it.
It penetrated the aircraft's oil tank, and then the tip of the gun penetrated the outermost outer wall of the aircraft.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Dong put his hands together and used the gun barrel to spin the gun head. Soon, the hole in the outer wall of the plane became larger and larger, and the gasoline filled with the tank flowed out from here!
At the same time, the fuel gauge pointer in the cockpit dropped rapidly at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this situation, Del. Roosevelt was secretly shocked. He really couldn't imagine what method Liu Dong used to make the plane drain nearly 50 tons of aviation fuel in less than a minute?
However, although he was curious, now was not the time to be curious.
"Sandy, let's go around now and prepare for an emergency landing!"
"Yes, Mr. Roosevelt!"
"Attention, hold on to the control stick!" After explaining some precautions for emergency landing, Roosevelt pressed the control stick and the plane instantly dived from an altitude of 1,000 meters.
At this time, Liu Dong, who was always checking the condition of the fuel tank with his Relic Yuanguang, firmly grasped the aircraft fasteners next to him to avoid the impact of the bumps during the emergency landing.
The plane descends very quickly, reaching 60 meters in one second, and it takes just over 16 seconds to reach 1,000 meters!
And Liu Dong, who was always using his Relic Yuan Guang to check the surrounding situation, when the front landing gear hit the ground with a bang, his heart jumped violently like a big drum.
It wasn't until I discovered that all the C4 bombs were safe that I was slightly relieved. However, the plane was still gliding forward amidst violent tremors, so it was not the time to feel completely reassured.
One hundred meters, two hundred meters, eight hundred meters, the speed of the plane slowly dropped.
"Click!"
Hearing this voice, Liu Dong secretly felt bad.
As if synchronized with his thoughts, the nose landing gear of the plane suddenly broke due to uneven road surface and uneven force. The entire Boeing 747 passenger plane plunged into the ground as if someone had kicked it.
Then it slid for another half minute and slowly stopped with a large ditch about a hundred meters long, four meters wide and nearly one meter deep.
"Didn't it explode?" This was Liu Dong's first thought after the plane stopped.
"How long?" This was Liu Dong's second thought.
Soon Liu Dong got the answer he wanted. It was indeed exciting news that more than a hundred C4s did not explode, but in less than 10 minutes, Liu Dong's heart immediately started to rise again.
Of course, after his own life was not threatened, although he was worried about the lives of more than 400 people on the plane, he was not as anxious as before! (To be continued...)
