On a cold winter day, you board a plane to the City of Dreams, and your heart is full of New Year's joy and anticipation. Before the plane took off, it fell into a series of ominous turbulence and abnormalities, all of which suddenly changed the hearts of every passenger. On December 27, 2019, a flight from Almaty, Kazakhstan to Nur-Sultan staged a thrilling scene of life and death. In the cabin, there are not only screams and panics, but also a split moment of life and death. How did a Chinese survivor and her husband find life in such a desperate situation? They are jaw-dropping, but they are full of humanity. Are you ready? Next, let's walk into the horror moment of that day and see how they are stepping towards the exit of life.
On that snow-covered morning, Mao Lina and her husband boarded a plane to the capital of Kazakhstan. Mao Lina, as a staff member of the Almaty office of China University of Petroleum, her life is full of frequent business trips and constant travel. On that day, her heart was filled with New Year's gifts for her colleagues in Nur-Sultan. And her husband's escort, originally just to help with her luggage, unexpectedly became the most important escort in her life.
When the plane first started taxiing, everything seemed to be normal. Soon, however, the plane's unusual movements began to unsettle Morina. The tail of the plane seemed to touch the runway, causing quite a jolt. At this time, Mao Lina's heart couldn't help but have a premonition: this flight may not be so smooth.
Mao Lina's husband, a man who is usually observant, noticed something unusual about the plane early on. He told his wife: "The plane doesn't look right, it feels like it's been a few years." Although she doesn't entirely agree with her husband, it quickly turns out that her instincts are sometimes unusually accurate.
The plane finally took off, but its liftoff was not as smooth as usual. The plane swayed in the air far more than normal, and the faces of the passengers began to show a worried look. Soon, the entire cabin became chaotic, with luggage falling from the overhead shelves and screaming one after another.
The tension reached its peak when the plane began to fall after a sudden and strong jolt. At that moment, it was as if the whole world was being turned upside down. Smoke began to fill the cabin, and emergency sirens sounded incessantly. At this life-and-death juncture, Mao Lina and her husband held each other's hands tightly, and each other's firm determination could be seen in each other's eyes.
As the plane descended sharply, Mao Lina's husband suddenly stood up, quickly checked his surroundings, and then decisively rushed to the emergency exit. It was a security door next to their seat, which usually didn't seem to be of much use, but now it became the hope of life. He pushed and pulled the seemingly clunky door with all his might, and every attempt was filled with despair and hope.
The surrounding passengers also began to realize that this might be the only chance to escape, and they followed his actions, and the atmosphere in the cabin became extremely tense. But the door seemed to be stuck by some kind of force, and at the most critical moment, Mao Lina's husband used all his strength to finally open the door with the help of everyone.
The icy air and snow mixed with smoke poured into the cabin, and although the environment was harsh, it was a breath of new life for desperate passengers. Mao Lina and her husband clinged to each other, moving towards the exit step by step. With their assistance, some of the frail passengers were able to escape.
When they finally escaped from the plane, their feet on the icy snow, there was chaos all around, and the sounds of rescue teams, sirens, and cries mingled together. But Mao Lina knew that at least they were alive and there was hope. Afterwards, Mao Lina recalled this scene and was always full of emotion. "At that moment, I really thought we weren't going to survive," she said. ”
In this accident, unfortunately, there were passengers who were killed, but there were also survivors like Mao Lina and her husband. Through their courage and determination, they have earned themselves a second life. Such an experience has undoubtedly changed everyone's outlook on life. Mao Lina is deeply aware of the fragility and unpredictability of life, and at the same time, she cherishes every moment with her family.
Post-accident investigations revealed that technical problems with the aircraft and adverse weather conditions were the main causes of the tragedy. The accident has also sparked extensive discussion and reflection on aviation safety standards. How to improve the emergency response capability of crew and passengers to ensure technical safety has become the focus of attention in the industry.
Through this perilous flight experience, it is not difficult to see that life is always full of uncertainties. But at critical moments, people's survival instinct and persistent pursuit of life can create incredible miracles.
