The latest progress of the Eastern Airlines disaster.
Black boxes recording voices were found, aircraft wreckage was found, and fragments of human tissue were found.
To tell you the truth, when I watched the press conference yesterday, I saw the six words of human tissue fragments and almost couldn't hold back. This means that these lives on the plane may have turned into debris and wreckage. Born in the land, melted into the land. They exist in the mountains, in the wild with flowers, in another eternal time and space. Yesterday, in addition to the discovery of these wreckage, there was also a scene of defiance. When the CCTV reporter was cleaning up the passengers' belongings, he found something about the flight attendants. "It's a job responsibility for a cabin crew, and it's clearly written about their regulations."
"It's a flight attendant's ID, there's a photo, cover it up, and you don't have to give a close-up."
When the reporter said, "Cover up and don't give a close-up," my tears burst out. Many people may not understand why I resonate so much with this sentence. Because I used to be a civil aviation person, I have a relationship, and I know what this document means to this flight attendant. The documents are there, the people are there. If the documents are not there, the person may be gone. I suddenly remembered my days of training in civil aviation and training day and night. We all thought that one day we might encounter disasters, and we also thought about using our lives to protect the safety of others, but when that day came, we didn't expect it to be so tragic. I remember that when the China Eastern Airlines disaster incident first broke out, someone said on Weibo: Before, I always didn't understand why the plane either fell into the mountains or the sea, but now I understand that it was the last effort of the crew. Their final lesson is: "If you encounter an irreversible air disaster, try your best to reduce the harm to people's property, and then die calmly." ”
Although this is not the real reason for the disaster of China Eastern Airlines, for civil aviation people, it is indeed their duty to do their best to protect the safety of passengers and the safety of others, even if they pay their own lives. After counting the past air crashes, the gesture of those crew members doing their best to protect life draws one sigh after another in our hearts. On August 24, 2010, an air crash in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province, killed 44 people and injured 52 others. Purser Lu Lu and her husband (security officer) Zhou Binhao, until the last moment of their lives, were still organizing the evacuation of passengers. Finally, the plane exploded after it broke, killing both husband and wife.
On May 5, 2019, the Russian Airlines crashed, resulting in 41 deaths and more than 30 survivors, flight attendant Maxim was still in the emergency rescue and evacuation of passengers fleeing in the case of the plane fire, and finally he died heroically.
In the same 2019, Xi'an pilot Ren Yongtao died heroically in order to avoid the school when the plane failed, and hit the plane into a water tower. He originally had the opportunity to skydive to escape, but sacrificed himself in order to protect the students and protect more lives.
There is also the most recent Air China flight CA983. It flew from Beijing to Los Angeles, because of the fire alarm, diverted to Russia, and as it fled, the flight attendant shouted at the passengers with all their might: "Don't take anything, run!" ”
The 188 passengers were safely evacuated within 90 seconds before the crew left. A reporter asked the flight attendant, what was he thinking at that time? She said: "The safety of passengers, our duty is to ensure the safety of passengers, people are the first." That's our crew. Ordinary passengers face fear, but when they face fear, they must use all their strength to comfort passengers. I remember after the air crash, someone left a message under my public account: I can think of the flight attendant at the last second was still shouting: "Bow your head, the whole body is pressing hard" look, she knows better than all the passengers that she is dying, but she still shouts loudly, can not be distracted, and finally she can't even say goodbye to her family in her mind.
Instant defense.
In the past few days, my former civil aviation colleagues have felt extremely sad, and even unwilling and afraid to hear about this matter. You can't imagine how sad the check-in officer of the MU5735 of China Eastern Airlines was, watching the smiling faces disappear in front of his eyes. You can't imagine the waiting officer who sent the MU5735 of China Eastern Airlines to the sky, and how sad she was to see the passengers she welcomed become ruins and wreckage. You can't imagine that the flight attendant who overhauled the MU5735 of China Eastern Airlines may resent himself again and again in this life, if he checks it again and again, the tragedy may not happen... Civil aviation practitioners are the people who do not want the air crash to occur, and they are also the people who are several times more sad than normal people after the air crash. After the China Eastern Airlines incident, there have been various voices on the Internet. Some people are rumoring that the pilot said that he had financial problems, some people said that the airline exploited the aircraft maintenance costs for profit to cause the crash, and even some people advertised the crash to make a profit for themselves. These acts of schadenfreude and falling into the well have undoubtedly cast a shadow on the already painful civil aviation practitioners. Instead of exploiting costs, airlines have increased their maintenance costs compared to last year. The captain of the crashed plane has also flown safely for 6709 hours, and the first co-pilot has flown 31769 hours. Moreover, we can see from the official data that the aircraft has a very obvious pulling action during the fall, and the crew may be doing their best to prevent the flight from falling, but it may eventually lead to an accident due to some force majeure reason.
The truth of all this needs to wait for the data analysis of the black box to be completely understood. Prior to this, any rumor-mongering and malicious speculation was disrespectful and harmful to the crew members killed. I know that this time the difficulty of China Eastern Airlines is a heavy blow to many people, and some people began to disbelieve in the safety of aircraft, did not believe in China's civil aviation, and even began to dare not take an airplane.
However, I would also like to say that the plane is still the safest means of transportation in the world, you should take the plane, you should take the high-speed rail to take the high-speed rail, do not take this incident to deny the entire civil aviation industry. There is no absolutely safe means of transportation in this world, and China's civil aviation is still one of the safest and least accident-prone industries in the world. Here is the world's best civil aviation practitioners, the strictest management regulations, the most conservative and prudent working attitude, they do their best to ensure that every moment in China's sky is flying 500,000 people, has been safely flying for 100 million hours. Please believe in China's civil aviation, please believe in China's civil aviation practitioners, please give China's civil aviation a little time!
I hope that after the disaster of China Eastern Airlines, there will be more understanding and more tolerance between passengers and civil aviation.
First, do not bother the flight attendant repeatedly remind you to fasten your seat belt, in flight, it is your best life support. On April 28, 1988, Aloha Airlines suffered an explosive loss of pressure during the flight, but fortunately the aircraft was forced to land. Most of the people here were safe, with the exception of the one, the one who was not wearing a seat belt, who was unfortunately sucked out of the cabin and died.
Second, do not complain about why you can't smoke with a lighter on the plane, because if the enclosed object flying at high speed is still on fire, it is fatal to the people on board.
On June 2, 1983, on a scheduled flight from Dallas in the United States to Montreal, Canada, 23 passengers were burned alive because passengers were smoking in the washroom with lighters.
3. Do not complain about flight delays due to weather conditions. Because the plane is afraid of thick fog, afraid of storms, afraid of hail, afraid of lightning strikes, in the case of extremely bad weather, if you still insist on taking off, it will undoubtedly put your lives at risk.
I remember when I first joined the company, I memorized the thick "Civil Aviation Transport Code", and the words were densely written between the lines. Reverence for regulations, reverence for duties, reverence for life, these twelve words are extremely heavy, and they are also the duties of all Chinese civil aviation personnel. Therefore, please have more respect and patience for civil aviation workers. They live day and night upside down lives, they do high-intensity work, they are old and young, they are human beings and not gods. Don't call them waiters at every turn, don't yell at them without moving, don't threaten to complain without moving, please respect their professionalism, at critical moments, they are the ones who protect them with their lives. "Captain China" once said: "From the pilots and flight attendants, everyone has undergone day-to-day training, just to ensure the safety of everyone, which is the meaning of all of us on this aircraft." Although the record of 4227 days of civil aviation in China began to clear from the moment of the China Eastern Airlines incident, we will definitely learn a painful lesson from it and be reborn in Nirvana.
Finally, we will observe a moment of silence for the victims of MU5735 and hope that China's civil aviation will get better and better.
