Over the Atlantic Ocean, a Boeing 747 passenger plane is flying normally. According to the original plan, they will fly to New York, the largest city in North America, at three o'clock tomorrow morning.
At this time, it had been eight hours since the plane took off from London Heathrow Airport, and everything went smoothly.
Captain Kevin is an experienced pilot. He has been flying gliders since he was 16 years old. He is also one of the first pilots to receive Boeing 747 driving training and has extremely rich flying experience.
Co-pilot Madis is also a veritable veteran pilot. He has served as co-pilot for 6 years and has flown for 8,800 hours. However, this is the first time that he and Captain Kevin fly on the same plane.
When the plane passed by the first transit airport for refueling, Kevin carefully checked the weather radar. The radar showed that the weather would be fine for the next 1,400 kilometers of flight.
Seeing nothing unusual, Captain Kevin got up and walked into the bathroom.
At this time, most of the passengers on the plane had been on the plane for more than 8 hours and looked very tired. Some had their eyes closed to rest, some were drowsy, and some were snoring loudly.
No one would have thought that a disaster was coming towards them step by step.
A few minutes later, the captain came out of the bathroom. He vaguely smelled a pungent smell in the cabin air.
Could it be that some passenger accidentally lit something flammable?
Or which passenger is smoking?
He immediately became alert and searched everywhere.
You must know that the plane is in the air and there is no emergency exit. Any small accident will cause people to face disaster.
Especially now that smoking is not strictly prohibited on airplanes, fires caused by smoking on airplanes occur from time to time.
Not long ago, a passenger smoked on an Il-18 passenger plane operated by the Lanzhou Administration Bureau of the Eastern Powers and threw the cigarette butt on flammable materials. As a result, the plane caught fire when it landed at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, killing 25 of the 69 people on board. 37 people were injured.
Therefore, as a "battle-hardened" captain, Kevin is always extra careful.
The captain looked around and found nothing unusual.
Finally, when he inadvertently raised his head and saw the ceiling of the plane, his head immediately became buzzing: in the northwest corner of the ceiling, there was a puff of smoke.
No one smokes, where does this smoke come from?
At the same time, co-pilot Madis, who was in the cockpit, also discovered this strange phenomenon, and he found blue light spots on the windshield of the cockpit.
He was panicked for a moment and cast a questioning look at the captain in surprise.
At this moment, blue light spots spread rapidly, surrounding the entire aircraft from all directions.
Madis shouted: "Oops, my eyes are blindfolded and I can't see anything?" The windshield in front of the plane became blurry.
When the flight engineer saw this, he exclaimed: "Oh, my God, could it be the legendary UFO or aliens coming?"
At this time, the peculiar smell in the air became stronger and stronger, and everyone could smell its ingredients - it was the smell of sulfur.
At this time, the cabin was filled with this smell. All the passengers were terrified and in chaos. The flight attendant also wanted to comfort them, but couldn't find the right words.
Just when the flight attendant was worried and thinking of any reason to comfort the passengers, the plane began to shake violently like an epileptic patient.
Then a passenger pointed outside and screamed: "Look, the plane is on fire!"
Passengers looked in the direction of his finger and found that a fire had indeed begun on the wing.
Madis immediately shouted to the captain: "Captain, the engine is out of order and the speed is too fast."
Captain Kevin quickly made adjustments, and as a result, the engine speed dropped.
After dozens of seconds, Madis shouted again: "Captain, the instrument is too slow, no, it has stopped completely!"
The crew members' scalps were numb and the air in the cabin was almost solid.
Immediately afterwards, something even more terrifying happened - one of the engines began to burn, and a few minutes later, the other three engines also showed flames.
An aircraft that loses power can no longer maintain a suitable altitude and is no different from a glider.
A long flame trailed from the tail of the plane, and emotions of terror and despair spread among the passengers. Everyone understood that the plane had suffered a disaster, that death was approaching them step by step, and that life had entered a countdown...
.........
London. Henry Family Manor!
Sandy was talking on the phone with her good friend and right-hand assistant Ward in the study, when she saw her old father hurriedly opened the door and walked in with a complicated expression on his face.
Seeing this scene, Sandy immediately said a few words to Ward quickly and then hung up the phone.
"Father, what happened?"
Henry Sr. did not answer his son's question, but asked: "Whose phone number is it?"
"It's Ward who called. He said that Li has taken people to the company, and it looks like he wants to negotiate with the workers!" Sandy said in a deep voice.
"What should you do? Should you wait and see what happens or..."
"No, I have asked Wood and Ward to try their best to help him stabilize the situation, and I am about to go to Sheffield!" Sandy said.
"So it seems you agreed to cooperate with him?" Old Henry said.
"Yes, just because he is willing to negotiate with those miners instead of rudely firing them, I feel that he is different from the Sassoon family!"
Then Sandy suddenly looked at his old father and smiled and said, "Maybe as you said, this is a good opportunity for me!"
"Sandy, I'm very happy that you can make such a choice. Go to Sheffield, where will your dream be!" Old Henry said.
"Well, by the way, father, you came in in a hurry just now..."
Before he finished speaking, old Henry said with a somewhat troubled expression: "Sandy, do you still remember the mysterious Eastern prophecy that Li said yesterday?"
"Not yet (divination)... a mysterious prophecy from the east?"
"Yes, that Li seemed to have said at that time that if you insist on going to North America these days, you might encounter something bad, right?"
"He did say that. What's wrong, father?"
Old Henry said with a heavy expression: "Sandy, you know, just now I received the news that today's flight to New York was over the Atlantic Ocean. All four engines suddenly stopped one after another, and most functions such as the instrument panel failed. , and now the plane is descending about 900 meters every 14 kilometers of taxiing, and is falling into the sea!"
"If we hadn't gone to find Li yesterday, you would be on this flight now!"
As soon as these words came out, Sandy was shocked.
He looked at old Henry with a blank expression, and then said: "Father, do you mean that the prophecy made by the Eastern man has come true?"
"I don't know, but the first half of the prophecy must have come true. It depends on whether the ending of the plane is as close as he said. If that's the case..."
Old Henry did not continue speaking, but the expression on his face showed a trace of fear and fear.
This mysterious power has exceeded his expectations, and he doesn't know how to describe his mood at this time.
If the opponent is a normal person, then he can still fight with the strength of his family and the influence of his eldest son in the army.
But if the enemy is not a normal human being, then this will be troublesome, and there is no chance of winning...
Sandy obviously saw his father's worries and immediately said: "Don't worry first, I will go to Sheffield Company now to have a good talk with Li!"
"good..."
