The entire flight took less than 10 minutes, from the engine shutting down to falling into the water and hitting a reef, to being stranded on a rocky beach.
The passengers on the plane experienced a life-and-death cycle, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the level of thrills as extremely critical.
Watching blockbuster movies and TV shows can only give you a thrill, but only experiencing it yourself can understand the taste and realize the preciousness of life.
Captain Downer's extraordinary control ability, rich experience and accurate emergency response, coupled with a relatively favorable environment and a bit of luck, maximized the chance of survival for the 300 passengers.
At this time, whether the outside world can rush to the rescue in time, when the salvage body will rise from the water, and whether the passengers can persist until the end, are no longer within the scope of his capabilities.
How to force open the escape hatch, the crew is discussing possible options.
The crew ultimately could not decide whether it was necessary to open the escape hatch.
Passengers saw that the cabin was well sealed and there was no water seepage in the cargo hold. Many people were willing to stay put and wait for help, but they couldn't agree on it for a while.
In order to ensure the subsequent escape, the people huddled in the passenger cabin began to recommend passengers with maritime experience and communicated with the crew, hoping to come up with a solution that would meet both needs.
As time goes by, where the machine landed, the soft seabed cannot sustain the heavy pressure and is slowly sinking.
In a short period of time, the aircraft body settled and the sea level rose.
It won't be long before the escape hatch is covered.
It is foreseeable that if the sea breeze blows at night and the tide rises and falls, the entire body may be submerged underwater.
What's even more frightening is that if the body cannot be fixed and suddenly loosens and slides to the depths, everyone will fall from heaven to hell again.
The topic of escape hatches became urgent and there must be a reasonable outcome.
Flight attendants can only do some opinion gathering, comforting, and service work to help passengers persevere.
Outside, the plane hit the water minutes ago.
The ground command room received the distress signal and immediately initiated emergency measures, and the rescue work began to race against time.
Within 5 minutes, the relevant aviation agencies were informed of what happened and issued a series of instructions.
At the same time as the flight sank, an E-Federation submarine that had just surfaced was less than 100 nautical miles away.
The submarine received the international rescue group message and immediately rushed over at the fastest speed. It will become one of the fastest rescue forces to rush to the scene.
Country M is the closest to the accident site and is leading the main rescue work.
According to the temporary rescue plan, an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, two amphibious rescue aircraft, and two rescue helicopters from M country quickly took off from different airports.
Two large salvage ships are quickly leaving the port, and the nearest powered aircraft carrier fleet is speeding up...
At the ground satellite control center, the commander on duty received a dedicated call from the emergency agency and directed the use of space positioning and detection satellites to adjust the angle and scan the sea area in all directions.
We strive to confirm the coordinates of the accident point and complete the approximate location of the plane's sinking before most of the rescue forces arrive, so as to provide a basis for salvage.
By the time the initial arrangements for emergency rescue work were in place, 40 minutes had passed.
The next thing to do is to check the entire passenger list through the boarding information, notify the passengers' families according to the reserved communication, and prepare for the worst-case scenario.
As for the cause of the accident, we can only wait for the subsequent salvage and subsequent analysis and verification.
Air crash experts immediately formed an online video, conducted analysis and discussion online, and made a preliminary judgment:
“1. According to the images transmitted back, the landing point of the aircraft is in good condition, and it appears to be quite complete on the surface.
No debris, impact marks, or remains were found on the sea surface where the accident occurred and around the island. It can be preliminarily determined that the process of the aircraft falling into the water and sinking to the bottom was quite smooth, and the body of the aircraft should be relatively complete, which is very beneficial to rescue. "
"2. The location of the fall into the water is close to the island. According to the satellite data model, the offshore terrain of the island is gentle and the water depth should not change suddenly.
I believe the captain must have predicted in advance that during the landing process of the aircraft body and the landslide, the landing gear may have been blocked by the rocks, reducing the risk of landslides. "
“3. The aviation aircraft is one of the most technologically advanced aircraft models at present. It is made of the latest alloy, is lightweight, strong and has great pressure-bearing strength.
The 10-meter deep water was no problem at all and saved time for rescue. "
“4. The aircraft is equipped with a micro water separation oxygen generator and a small generator, as well as a 2-day food reserve on the way.
It can protect all passengers for 3 days while reducing calorie consumption. "
"5. The climate in the local sea area has changed. There will be no strong convective weather within a week, and we have encountered a rare rescue environment.
If there are no other serious accidents, taking into account the status of the aircraft itself and the passengers, overall calculations should ensure that the rescue time is at least three days. "
"As for issues such as underwater topography, cabin sealing, escape hatches, and battery loss, no on-site investigation has been conducted, and accurate calculations cannot be made. The decision can only be made by the crew and passengers based on the situation."
"On the M side, the reconnaissance planes, patrol planes, and helicopters dispatched are only for preliminary work and cannot play a key role.
The speed of aircraft carriers and salvage ships is limited and takes time. Calculated based on the fastest speed, it will take 35 hours to reach the accident site.
The amphibious rescue aircraft is the fastest and can play a leading role. It can at least ensure the stability of the aircraft body, which will determine the success or failure of this early rescue. "
"Just...can you take this opportunity to report the situation to the General Administration of Earth and Stars to explore the bottom line of the planet fleet's humanity?"
It was 5:30 pm that day, 1 hour and 10 minutes had passed since the incident.
In the spacious office of Dongguo Xiuce, deputy director of the Earth and Star Administration, a briefing submitted by the liaison department was placed on his desk.
Dongguo Xiuce showed a meaningful smile and did not read the content of the briefing. After grabbing a special mobile phone and giving some instructions, he leisurely tasted the expensive energy drink brought from his country and rested comfortably on the fragrant wood chair. He did not know what to think. Something.
This office has completely changed its style.
Except for some wooden products, the rest of the items were replaced with extraterrestrial supplies. It was not necessary for confidentiality, but just because I was not used to the earthly style and just missed my hometown.
At 5:30 pm that day.
M's extraterrestrial liaison department received a special call from the Earth and Star Administration, informing them that the extraterrestrial fleet will intervene in the rescue work. It is expected that all rescue activities will be completed around 11 a.m. on September 22.
The other party asked Country M to use an amphibious aircraft to carry media reporters and rush to the island where the incident occurred before 10 o'clock the next day to do a live broadcast of the entire incident.
That night, the news media reported on the incident of the flight crashing into the sea, analyzed the feasibility of the rescue work from different angles, and paid full attention to the Earth-Star Administration's active participation in the assistance.
In view of the shocking behavior that the Higgin Empire's third fleet had previously brought to Earth and Star, people had great expectations for the successful rescue of 300 passengers.
The families of the passengers interviewed expressed extreme concern about the situation of the trapped people and were full of confidence in the Earth and Star Administration’s humanitarian assistance.
