Chapter 316 Can You Fly the Plane?

The sudden sound of the explosion shocked all the passengers in the cabin.

The crew members were also shocked.

They all looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

All they saw was that outside the window, a flock of large black birds flew by, and soon a smell of burnt feathers and meat came into the cabin.

"No!"

The captain was so nervous and quick to react that he immediately went into the cockpit, only to replace that the instrument panel readings showed that both engines had stopped working.

Sometimes the accident would come out of the blue in an instant.

Johnson, the co-pilot who was flying the plane, had never encountered such a situation before and panicked. He reported in Yardeenese. "Captain, the flock of birds suddenly came over so fast that they have crashed into the plane before we could react. I think it's the engine..."

The captain looked cold and serious. He immediately switched places with the co-pilot to take over and control the plane. Meanwhile, he contacted the control tower, trying to replace an alternate landing site. It happened too suddenly. Not to mention the passengers, even the crew did not know what was going on. They just felt that the plane was going down.

Below the plane was the most prosperous and densely populated urban area of Engese, with rows of high-rise buildings.

"What's it? What the hell is going on?"

"Why is the plane going down?"

"Is it malfunctioning? It smells like roast meat. Did the flock of birds that just flew by blow up?"

Passengers in the economy and business class were asking questions. The stewardesses were trying to calm them down, with little success. The cabin was in chaos.

In first class, Aleft and Aright hadn't quite figured out what was going on.

Hailey's eyes were suddenly wide open. "No!"

"What's wrong, Ms. Newman?"

Aright was halfway up. "The plane keeps going down. Is it malfunctioning?"

"The flock of birds that flew by just now..."

The look in Hailey's eyes was getting colder quickly. "They hit the plane's engine and blew up."

If she wasn't wrong, the flock of birds that flew by just now caused the plane's engine to be damaged, so the

plane that was flying in the sky lost power and could only keep falling.

Aleft and Aright opened their eyes wide in shock.

Although they had never flown a plane, they could drive and knew what the engine meant to the plane.

If the engine broke down, the plane would just keep falling instead of flying...

Aleft looked out of the window at the skyscrapers below. His eyes widened. "It's falling faster. If the plane crashes, then..."

The consequences were beyond imagination!

Both people on the plane and those in the buildings below would have to suffer!

Hailey, who had always been calm and collected, grew pale at the moment and her heart pounded.

The cabins in the back were already in an uproar.

"This is an air crash, air crash!"

"Didn't they say the plane was safe? How could we encounter this kind of thing? Oh..."

"What airline are you guys from? I'm going to file a complaint against you! How did the captain fly the plane? Why didn't he avoid the birds?"

"Damn, I didn't pay so much money for death! You have to give me an explanation!"

The stewardesses tried to reassure them in vain. The crew members, who had no idea what was going on, only say repeatedly, "Please calm down. Please trust us and believe in our captain's professionalism..."

Meanwhile, in the cockpit.

could

The control tower was informed of the current situation on the plane and quickly found an alternate landing

site, only a few kilometers away.

However, the captain didn't look optimistic in the slightest. With no power in the plane, they couldn't do a forced landing even if it was only a few kilometers away.

In the nick of time, a clear blue river came into the captain's view.

He made a quick decision and told the control tower that he was ready to make a forced landing into the river.

The control tower was dumbfounded by his words.

Was he kidding?

Almost at the same time, Hailey picked up the chief stewardess's intercom and said to the cockpit, "Captain, the crash of Flight 1549 was also caused by birds and they made a forced landing into the sea to get a chance to survive. It's the Blue River ahead. I hope you can make a decision quickly. My brother said you used to fly a bomber, so I believe in your professional skills. I believe you can make a successful landing."

She tried to sound calm so that the captain could be influenced by her confidence, but her heart was almost in

her mouth.

At this critical moment, any decision was a matter of life and death for all the people on the plane.

She didn't want to die on the plane. Nor did she want to end up in a tragedy.

Hailey held the phone. Feeling that the plane was still falling, she had never been so desperate.

She hadn't seen Karl or found her parents yet. She still had so many family members waiting for her to go back. She couldn't die. How could she die here?

Her eyes were blurred. The images of many people suddenly flashed across her mind. Among them, there was even... Owen.

It felt like a century had passed, but there was no reply.

Hailey closed her eyes. All thoughts were dashed.

More and more passengers stood up. They even wanted to jump out of the plane with their parachutes so that they could possibly get a chance to survive.

At that moment, a calm and deep voice suddenly came over the radio.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain of this flight, Saul Yerkesz We have an emergency and need to make a forced landing in the water. Please trust my expertise and get ready to escape."

Hearing that, Hailey suddenly opened her eyes. Her heart jolted, but she felt calmer now.

She almost collapsed.

It was still chaotic in economy class, and the noise was getting louder.

"Forced landing in the water? Is he crazy? Does he know how to fly a plane? Isn't he playing with the over 300 lives on the plane?"

One passenger seemed to be in frenzy. He left his seat and tried to run out. Two stewardesses failed to stop

him. The chief stewardess tried to calm him down, but he slapped her so hard that she almost fell to the floor.

Hailey helped the chief stewardess. With a cold look in her eyes, she went up to the passenger without saying a

word and gave him a slap across the face, sending him into a spin.

With the loud slap, the cabin immediately fell into silence.

"What're you doing?"

Hailey said in a cold voice, "Can you fly the plane?"

She looked around the crowd slowly and calmly.

"We are now on the same plane and our lives are in the hands of the captain. At this point, whoever is professional is the boss. We can only trust him! And we must trust him!"

The crowd finally quieted down.

Hailey looked at the chief stewardess and asked her in Yardeenese, "Are you okay?"

The chief stewardess wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and nodded.

"I'll leave it to you then. I trust your expertise."

down saying, "I trust you guys too! Please tell us what we should do,

okay?"

The crew used the radio to tell the passengers how to get ready for the forced landing. The passengers followed the instructions and everything went in an orderly manner.

Hailey, Aleft, and Aright did the same thing.

It looked like a long process, but it happened quickly.

In the cockpit, Saul calmly maneuvered the plane and started the emergency landing. Now, the plane was flying at an altitude of only 76 meters, but the speed was 129 kilometers per hour.

The co-pilot cooperated with him, telling him the airspeed and altitude one by one so that the captain could focus on maneuvering the plane.

Seeing the plane closer and closer to the water, everyone was breathless with anxiety.

Hailey's palms were sweating. Her face was bloodless and white as a sheet.

"Crash!"

The plane made a belly landing, plunged into the water with a big splash, and shook violently!
