Since the advent of aircraft, there have often been hijackers who have used various reasons and means to regard aircraft, especially passenger planes, as hijacking targets in order to achieve their own interests. However, like the Changsha hijacking case in 1983, two brothers hijacked the plane together, and in the process of hijacking and blowing up the plane, one suddenly blew himself up, blowing the plane out of a big hole, and the other hijacker jumped from this hole and jumped to his death, which is a strange thing in the world.
So, what's going on here?
In Xiongchu Street, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, there is a pair of brothers named Zhang Yufa and Zhang Yuqi. The two brothers have more special personalities, especially the younger brother Zhang Yuqi, who has belonged to the kind of person who has been particularly rigid since he was a child, and he is a little paranoid about treating people, and when he was a child, he also had the extreme behavior of jumping from the Yangtze River Bridge to commit suicide because he was angry with his family.
Zhang Yuqi was admitted to secondary school after graduating from junior high school, and at that time, she was admitted to secondary school, and her academic performance should still be good. But he also because of personality problems, after graduation to find a job is very unsatisfactory, he is not from himself to find reasons, but to blame his own disobedience to society, full of resentment against society.
After graduating from junior high school, his elder brother Zhang Yufa joined the work and worked as a purchaser in the automobile team of Yunxi County, Hubei Province. At that time, the buyer was a fat man, and if he worked in a disciplined manner, his life could still be good. But Zhang Yufa was not disciplined, and he wanted to get rich, but he actually participated in smuggling activities and was censored and expelled.
Zhang Yufa, who was censored, also began to be dissatisfied with society. So, these two brothers full of negative energy came together and discussed preparing to do an earth-shattering event.
What can it do to get people's attention? As soon as the two men muttered, they stared at the civil aviation passenger plane.
They believe that by blowing up the civil aviation airliner, the brothers can not only vent their dissatisfaction, but also become famous, although they also know that it must be notoriety, or the kind that has been left behind for thousands of years, but it has been opened up.
So they managed to buy materials such as detonators and explosives, and the two brothers prepared to find an opportunity to commit the crime.
After some planning, the two men set the target for the flight from Changsha to Guangzhou and purchased a ticket for the target flight.
On the morning of April 9, 1983, Zhang Yufa and Zhang Yuqi, two brothers, armed with detonator explosives, came to Changsha Datuopu Airport, took advantage of the very simple loopholes in the security check at that time, successfully passed the security check, and boarded the flight from Wuhan to Guangzhou.
On the same day, the regular flight from Changsha Datuopu Airport to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport was a Il-18 passenger plane with 4 crew members, several flight attendants, and more than 80 passengers.
At 9:00 a.m., the flight successfully took off from Datuopu Airport and flew towards Guangzhou.
Soon, the plane reached cruising altitude and began to enter a smooth flight state. After demonstrating the safety instructions, the flight attendants began to provide catering services to the passengers on board.
The conversation of passengers and the gentle service of the flight attendants echoed in the cabin, looking like a normal and harmonious picture.
People are enjoying this beautiful moment in peace.
Fifteen minutes after the plane took off, a flight attendant passing by the cabin was stopped by two young men who suddenly stood up, and then one of them took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to the flight attendant. The flight attendant noticed that when the man took out the letter paper, he was a little busy and nervous. Subconsciously, the stewardess sensed that something was unusual.
When she took the letter, the contents of it surprised her, because it was a terrible threatening letter, in which they not only vented their dissatisfaction with life, but also blamed this dissatisfaction on society, which they wanted to pay for the so-called injustice they suffered, they had bombs on them, they were going to blow up the plane in 30 minutes, and let everyone on the plane bury them!
These two men were none other than the long-planned brothers Zhang Yufa and Zhang Yuqi, who were determined to put into practice the evil plan they had planned in advance.
They are also different from the general sense of hijacking, not to hijack the plane to fly abroad or to achieve other demands, but to use passengers as chips, not to murder people, the two brothers are purely to let these innocent passengers accompany them to bury.
The reason why it is explained that the plane will be blown up after 30 minutes should be to vent their emotions and at the same time put the passengers in a state of fear to satisfy their perverted and twisted psychology.
Before the flight attendant, frightened by the contents of the letter, had time to react further, the brothers demanded that the flight attendant immediately inform every passenger of the contents of the letter word for word through the aircraft's radio!
Their unreasonable demands were naturally rejected outright by the flight attendants!
First of all, if the contents of the letter were unreservedly made public, it would certainly cause panic among the passengers, who would not know what uncontrollable events would occur; moreover, whether the two men really had a bomb had not yet been confirmed, and they certainly could not rush to their request.
Seeing that the flight attendant did not agree to their request, Zhang Yuqi was ashamed and angry, and looked like he would not agree without giving you some color, he suddenly pulled open his shirt, only to see a row of detonators tied to his waist!
What a bomb! This is trouble! The surprised flight attendant knew that at this time, the two deadly terrorists could not be provoked casually, because the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 8,000 meters at this time, the cabin was in a state of pressurization, once the terrorists detonated the explosives, the aircraft fuselage was likely to be blown up, and the internal and external pressure imbalance would lead to the disintegration of the aircraft, so that all the passengers on the plane would innocently die for these two people.
At this time, the abnormality in the cabin attracted the attention of the purser, who arrived at the scene in time and calmly calmly reassured Zhang Yuqi, who was a little manic, and promised to inform every passenger of the contents of the letter by broadcast.
As the purser read the threatening letter with difficulty, every word in the letter seemed to contain a thousand and one powers, and suddenly the passengers were confused, how could he be so unlucky, how could he meet such two crazy people? What a stroke of luck!
After a short period of confusion, there is endless panic, and people's survival instincts are fully revealed at this moment when the great disaster comes.
Everyone is well aware that they only have half an hour to live! Is there anything more terrifying in this world about knowing when you're going to die?
Some passengers lost their minds and began to shout madly, they were not willing to do so! Some passengers were just crying silently, as if they could only accept this cruel arrangement of fate!
The cabin was messed up by two gangsters, and the crew in the cockpit also learned everything that was happening in the cabin through the radio, and the situation was very serious! However, after strict training, they did not panic, but calmly judged the current situation and decided to return immediately. Because they had just flown for ten minutes at this time, not far from Changsha Airport, they could also use the 30 minutes given by the gangsters to negotiate with them and look for opportunities to solve them.
The determined crew quickly informed Changsha Datuopu Airport of the situation on the plane and was granted its request to return to land.
The ground command center maintained close contact with the crew on the one hand, and on the other hand, quickly evacuated the airport and was prepared to accept the landing of the hijacked passenger plane.
The instructed Il-18 began to return and hover over Dongting Lake while gradually reducing its altitude. Because it is just after takeoff, the fuel tank of the passenger aircraft is still fully loaded, so it is easy to cause a fire due to friction when landing, so it is necessary to consume most of the fuel before landing.
The aircraft lowers its altitude, on the one hand, for the purpose of forced landing, and on the other hand, to gradually reduce the pressure in the cabin, so that it can gradually achieve balance with the pressure of the outside world, and prevent the aircraft from disintegrating due to damage in possible explosions.
In the cabin, in order to stabilize the passengers' emotions, the flight attendants began to move the passengers to the rear cabin, away from the two deranged thugs, so as not to cause unpredictable events.
Unconsciously, the plane has dropped from an altitude of 8,000 meters to 500 meters, and the turquoise water surface of Dongting Lake has been clearly visible.
At this time, the younger brother Zhang Yuqi found through the porthole that the height of the plane had dropped significantly, and it was obvious that the plane was going to return, which made Zhang Yuqi, who was bent on letting these passengers accompany the funeral, suddenly collapse, and after a burst of shouting, he finally made up his mind to let everyone accompany the funeral. Only to see Zhang Yuqi suddenly pull the explosives in his waist, with a loud noise, the gangster Zhang Yuqi who was in the center of the explosion was blown to the ground, and the broken limbs flew everywhere, causing the passengers to shout in terror and despair.
But what disappointed Zhang Yuqi was that if he still knew that if he was disappointed, although the explosion killed himself, the damage to the plane did not meet his expectations, but only exploded a 1.5 meter X 1.3 meter hole in the skin of the plane next to him.
The cold wind outside the cabin suddenly penetrated into the high-speed circling cabin of the aircraft, causing chaos, and all kinds of luggage flew around.
Fortunately, when the passenger plane descended to 3,000 meters, the crew had closed the cabin pressurization valve, and after a short imbalance, the pressure inside and outside the aircraft was soon in equilibrium, and the oxygen content did not affect the passengers' breathing.
After the explosion, the brief chaos had just calmed down, and before people could sort out the condition of the plane, they were shocked by a scene that occurred behind them. Only to see another gangster Zhang Yufa who was still alive, seeing that his brother Zhang Yuqi had been killed by the explosion, he suddenly wept when he lost his mind, and then slammed the gap that had been blown open, jumped into the plane, and jumped into the vast Dongting Lake.
In just a few minutes, two vicious gangsters disappeared in such an unbelievable way that one blew himself up and one jumped out of the plane.
While rejoicing, people began to worry about the hole that had been blown up, fearing that it would lead to an uncontrollable and dangerous situation in the aircraft.
Fortunately, the quality of the crew was very good, they calmly and decisively controlled the slow descent of the aircraft, and under the command of the ground tower, the injured passenger plane landed smoothly at Changsha Datuopu Airport.
At the moment when the plane landed safely, the passengers, who had been terrified, finally felt unprecedentedly solid: it was good to be alive!
After inspection, all the passengers and crew on the plane were safe except for the death of the two gangsters!
The crew was commended by the Civil Aviation Administration of Civil Aviation for handling the incident calmly and calmly.
The damaged aircraft was not seriously damaged, the main part of the aircraft was not damaged, and after repairing, it flew into the blue sky again.
