Owen jumped up from the ground and rushed to the cab.
Fortunately, both pilots were safe and sound. Although the co-pilot who was held hostage was beaten hard, he did not suffer any serious injuries. The body of the robber was lying next to him, with his eyes still wide open, showing a trace of unwillingness.
.
"ctu!!!"
"Thank God, you are finally here..."
When Owen showed his identity, he also pointed at the TU logo on his body armor to the captain. The captain breathed a sigh of relief as if he had found the main force. Without caring about anything else, Owen immediately asked: "We still have more
How long does it take to enter U.S. airspace?”
"45 minutes."
"No, turn around immediately, we must not enter U.S. airspace..."
The ghost said in a muffled voice behind the mask. The captain glanced at his skull mask in fear. If it weren't for the TU logo on his body armor, the ghost would have seemed more like a terrorist than those terrorists.
"Can……"
"The situation is urgent, do it immediately, otherwise the air force will shoot us down..." Ghost interrupted.
The captain and co-pilot were shocked and couldn't understand why the TU people said that. Weren't they saved? Why would the Air Force shoot them down?
The co-pilot looked at the captain, who was still a little hesitant. As if to confirm the ghost's words, two F-15 "Eagle" fighter jets suddenly appeared on both sides of the plane, and at the same time, a warning from the fighter pilot sounded on the communication channel.
"Please note Flight 343, we are the U.S. Air Force, please turn away from the U.S. airspace immediately, otherwise we will be forced to destroy the passenger plane. Repeat, Flight 343, we are the U.S. Air Force, please turn away from the U.S. airspace immediately, otherwise we will destroy it
airliner……"
The pilot's voice on the channel doesn't sound intimidating, but the content is shocking.
Seeing that the captain was still hesitating, Owen shouted: "Hurry~~~~"
At this time, the captain did not dare to delay anymore and issued a series of instructions to the co-pilot, and the two of them cooperated to control the steering of the aircraft.
The plane began to tilt, and the passengers inside had their hearts in their throats for a moment. They couldn't understand what was happening. The ctu team members almost fell down again.
"Where are we driving to?"
The captain calmed down at this time, turned around and asked.
Owen and Ghost looked at each other, "On the high seas, the farther away from the shore, the better..." Owen hesitated to tell the pilot the truth. They must get the pilot's full cooperation, but without a reason to join forces, the pilot's operation is likely to be
There will be a discount.
He looked at the ghost, who considered it for a moment and nodded before Irving continued: "There is a bomb on the plane, and it is a poison gas bomb. Once it explodes, millions or even tens of millions of people will lose their lives, so we'd better
Driving to the high seas, far away from any country, please keep this a secret..."
"Bomb? Damn it~~~"
The two pilots didn't look too surprised when they heard the bomb. They had experienced too many things today. Even if someone told them that Washington had fallen, they would not be surprised at all.
After a brief silence, the co-pilot couldn't help but ask, "So are we going to survive?"
Anyone who can be a pilot is not stupid. CTU must have boarded the plane through some method during the flight. They were willing to risk their lives and probably not to the point of death, but he still couldn't help but want to confirm it himself.
"No, everyone can live..."
Owen's decisive answer.
After staying with the ghost for a long time, I found that the ghost didn't like to talk when performing tasks. He hardly said anything except issuing orders, so most of the time it was Irving who did the talking, making others think that Irving was the one.
The commander of the operation.
The steering of a large passenger plane is not that simple and takes a long time, and the F-15s outside are accompanying it.
"Can this walkie-talkie communicate directly with fighter jets?"
"Yes. Just pick it up..."
Irving looked at the ghost, and the ghost signaled him to come. Irving was not polite and picked up the intercom: "Call the fighter pilot, I am Steve Irwin, the counterterrorism officer on flight 343. Please help me get through to the White House...
"
In the original plan, their communications could be connected to the White House in real time through the Flying Fish, but after the Flying Fish malfunctioned and returned, they lost contact with the outside world.
These F-15s must be here just in case. If the TU team fails, the F-15s will forcibly destroy the passenger plane to ensure that the poison gas cannot enter the United States.
The fighter jets must pass through the Pentagon when they come, so they must have a way to contact the White House. Maybe the F-15 is even connected to the White House just like they did before.
"I am Lieutenant Anderson of the Fifth Squadron, please wait a moment, I will connect you to the White House..."
Owen's guess was indeed correct. As soon as he finished speaking, the fighter pilot's reply came from the loudspeaker, and a few seconds after that, President Palmer's voice sounded.
"Boys, it seems you have succeeded..."
President Palmer's voice sounded much more relaxed. Obviously, he already knew about the 343rd passenger plane turning around and flying to the high seas. There was only one explanation for this. The CU team successfully seized control of the plane.
"Yes, Mr. President, this is Owen. We have seized control of the plane. All the robbers have been killed, with a small number of casualties..."
"Great, boys, you saved America, you are all heroes..."
There was cheering on the other end of the communication line. Obviously this was good news. A major crisis had been successfully resolved, but Owen knew that it had not.
The cheers from the opposite side continued, and Owen had to pour cold water on them: "Gentlemen, there is still a problem that has not been solved."
"What?"
The cheers on the other side stopped suddenly, and Owen could hear the doubts on the other side through the radio waves.
"The gas bombs on the plane are equipped with two methods: manual detonation and pressure detonation. Our people can only dismantle one type, and the pressure detonation cannot be dismantled..."
"I don't quite understand what you mean..."
"That is to say, this plane cannot land. Once its altitude is lower than the bomb setting, it will explode. At that time, the airflow will spread the poisonous gas everywhere. Although the concentration has been reduced, it is still harmful...
"
In an instant, the good mood on the other side disappeared. According to Owen, the plane will still explode, but the poisonous gas will not spread to the United States. The more than 200 people on the plane seemed to be dead. Everyone in the conference room thought of that scene,
Don't even know what to say.
"Owen, do you already have a way to deal with it?"
This time the speaker on Mike's side was Jack Bauer.
The captain and co-pilot on the plane also looked at Owen expectantly, hoping to hear good news from him. No one wanted to die. The ghost also looked at Owen. They had just received notification from iq before launching the attack.
Haven't thought about this issue yet.
"How about...jumping into the sea? Let's jump from the plane into the sea..."
A timid voice sounded from behind, it was Jennifer, and at some point he also came to the cockpit, followed by Monica.
"It's useless. The plane is at an altitude of 13,000 meters. If a person jumps from such a high altitude, the potential energy will accelerate the speed very fast. There is no difference between falling into the water and falling on the cement floor..."
Monica shook her head and replied.
"How is that possible?"
Jennifer still wanted to refute, but the ghost had already interrupted him: "iq is right, jumping into the water from a low altitude is okay because the speed is slow. When the human body falls into the water, it has enough time to break the water surface tension. But from 13,000 meters
If you jump from a high altitude, your speed will be very fast. Your body will be in contact with the water before you have time to break the tension of the water. The result will be the same as falling on the concrete floor..."
Jennifer was speechless. She didn't want to believe it, but it seemed to be true. Then she remembered something again and looked at Owen hopefully. For a moment, everyone put their hope on Owen.
