Brook was first sent to the ambulance, and the police sent someone to follow him to the hospital to make a statement.
Before getting into the car, Xia Ruofei said to Brook, "Captain Brook, if the injury is troublesome, please remember to contact me. Maybe Chinese medicine will have a better way!"
Xia Ruofei had a good impression of Brook. Although he had done it all by himself, without Brook's guidance, Xia Ruofei wouldn't have been able to create this miracle even if she had the ability to reach the heavens.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei did not want to see Brook bid farewell to flying because of his injury.
Brook said gratefully, "Okay, Xia! Thank you very much! "
Xia Ruofei smiled and patted Brook on the shoulder, then sent him to the ambulance.
The staff of Qantas also went to the hospital. In addition to Brook, several passengers had suffered minor injuries because of the violent turbulence during the explosive loss of pressure, which required Qantas to coordinate and deal with.
Alex stayed to accompany Xia Ruofei to deal with the police's inquiry.
After the ambulance left, Xia Ruofei prepared to go to the special channel specially opened by Qantas with Alex. They would first go through the immigration procedures, and then cooperate with the police to make a statement.
Just then, a voice came from behind, "Sir, please wait a minute!"
Xia Ruofei heard the familiar Chinese and immediately turned his head. He only heard the click of the shutter a few times, and then he saw a young face after the SLR camera was removed.
"I'm a passenger of this flight!" The young man said excitedly, "We all heard that you saved the whole flight! Thank you! "
Although Xia Ruofei subconsciously did not want to expose his identity, he was in a foreign country, and they were Huaxia compatriots who had gone through hardships together. Since the young man had already taken a picture, he was embarrassed to ask him to delete it.
He could only smile and say, "You're welcome. I can't live if the flight has an accident. I'm also trying to save myself …"
After the passengers of the flight were evacuated, they gathered in this area to line up for immigration procedures.
The customs in Saipan had opened a special passage, but because of the large number of people, many people were still waiting here.
The Huaxia passengers also gathered around and expressed their gratitude to Xia Ruofei. Many people also took out their phones to take photos. Some were so excited that they took photos with Xia Ruofei. Some even asked Xia Ruofei for an autograph.
Xia Ruofei was also going all out. He understood the feelings of his compatriots who had just survived a disaster. He cooperated with their requests for a group photo. Of course, he still declined their requests for autographs.
The smile on Xia Ruofei's face almost froze. Finally, Alex and the other Qantas staff came to his rescue. Only then did the Huaxia compatriots let go of Xia Ruofei. When he left, whether it was the Huaxia passengers or the other foreign passengers, they all gave Xia Ruofei a warm round of applause.
As they walked to the special passage, Feng Jing asked with a smile, "Ruofei, how does it feel to be a big star?"
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Jing, don't you know me? I really don't want to be in the limelight! "
Now that the media was so developed, Xia Ruofei could foresee that these photos would soon spread to every corner of Huaxia. At that time, he would become a figure in the limelight. He didn't know how long it would take for his popularity to fade.
Feng Jing couldn't help but chuckle. She thought of how Xia Ruofei always pushed her to the front and even made her a little famous "Internet celebrity." Now Xia Ruofei would soon enjoy such "treatment." She couldn't help but have a little evil taste in her heart. She didn't know how Xia Ruofei would react when the time came.
Under special treatment, Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing quickly went through the immigration procedures after showing their Huaxia passports.
According to the principle of territorial jurisdiction, this incident would be the responsibility of the local police in Saipan. Of course, most of the passengers were Huaxia and Australia. As the main countries involved, Huaxia and Australia would also participate in the investigation of the incident. Of course, it should be mainly the civil aviation investigation department that would be involved.
After entering Saipan, Xia Ruofei was quickly invited by the local police to understand the incident. Feng Jing also made a statement because she was also in the cockpit at the time.
In addition, as Saipan was a territory of the United States, the Civil Aviation Investigation Agency of the United States had already set off. At that time, the civil aviation working groups of Huaxia and Australia would also come. Xia Ruofei still needed to cooperate with their investigation.
Therefore, after coming out of the police station, Alex had arranged accommodation and other related matters for Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing on behalf of Qantas.
Qantas did not arrange a fixed hotel in the Saipan base, but specifically chose the best hotel in the area – Kaiyue Hotel.
The Kaiyue Hotel in Saipan was located in the legendary Michael Beach (Micro)
Beach (Micro), surrounded by
14
Acres of tropical gardens and lagoons, in the Northern Mariana Islands, a luxurious tranquility.
The hotel was about 11 kilometers away from the airport. After the group came out of the airport, it took about 20 minutes to arrive by car.
The hotel was located on the beach. Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing's rooms were naturally Invincible Sea View Rooms. Alex also specifically asked if the two were a couple – because this involved the question of how many rooms to book, Xia Ruofei and Feng Jing both blushed.
In the end, they naturally booked two rooms. Alex personally sent the two of them to their rooms and tactfully excused himself.
He knew that after experiencing such a life and death moment, and after landing, the two must be physically and mentally exhausted, and what they needed most was rest.
Xia Ruofei was in a good state, but Feng Jing was really tired, so Xia Ruofei stood at the door of her room and talked to her for a while, and then let her rest.
Xia Ruofei came to his room and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The bathroom also had a large floor-to-ceiling glass, facing the direction of the beach – of course, the glass was one-way.
Soaking in the bathtub, the view was white and soft beach and the endless sea. Soaking in such an environment really made one feel relaxed and happy.
Xia Ruofei had long wanted to take Ling Qingxue on a trip, to find islands like Saipan and the Maldives, and live leisurely for a while.
Unexpectedly, before this wish was realized, he unexpectedly "wandered" in Saipan first.
Life's encounters were really wonderful!
After taking a bath, Xia Ruofei changed into the pajamas provided by the hotel, leaned against the bay window of the room, and lit a cigarette while admiring the Invincible Sea View.
…
Xia Ruofei didn't know that at this moment, the major new media platforms in China were all in an uproar.
First, an app that provided real-time flight information service was the first to discover that Xia Ruofei's flight had deviated and strangely decreased altitude, and immediately posted it through Weibo, and provided a comparison of the flight's estimated route and the actual flight trajectory.
This news didn't attract large-scale attention at first, of course, a small number of people began to speculate whether the Malaysian Airlines incident would happen again. After all, many Huaxia passengers were on the plane, and it was inevitable that people would think of the strange missing flight a few years ago.
After a while, the flight app again released first-hand information – flight QF108's answering machine changed to 7700! This meant that there was an emergency on the flight.
When this information was released, many people who were paying attention to this incident suddenly felt their hearts tighten.
Because there was a certain delay in the information, when the QF108's answering machine code changed to 7700, the flight was approaching Saipan Airport, which was Xia Ruofei's busiest time.
What really ignited the discussion was a Weibo post.
The blogger only had more than two hundred fans, but it was this Weibo post that suddenly attracted everyone's attention to the Qantas incident.
The title of the Weibo post was "I was going to Australia, but now I'm in Saipan – the moment of life and death I experienced."
The blogger wrote in this long Weibo post:
Today, I happily boarded a flight to Australia with my girlfriend. This was our first trip abroad, and the first time we took an international flight. After boarding the plane, we were really excited. However, more than two hours after the plane took off, when we were still looking forward to the Gold Coast of Australia, something happened that will be engraved in my heart for the rest of my life.
At that time, everything seemed normal. The plane was flying smoothly. My girlfriend said that she heard an abnormal noise in the front cabin. I laughed at her for being too paranoid. However, the next moment, the plane trembled violently, followed by violent turbulence. Things in the cabin flew everywhere, and all the oxygen masks fell down. At that moment, I was stunned. Everything in front of me was like the end of the world.
Next, the stewardess shouted herself hoarse for everyone to quickly put on the oxygen masks. After my girlfriend and I put on the masks in a panic, we felt the plane was descending rapidly.
At that time, I really thought it was over. The sea was below the plane! I seemed to have become sluggish. The only thought in my mind was to hug my girlfriend tightly. At that time, I thought, even if the plane crashed, I would hug her tightly. At least we wouldn't be separated after death.
After a while, the plane gradually stopped descending, but the noise in the cabin was very loud, and the flight became very unstable. Many people were scared and cried out loud. Some people trembled and wrote their wills.
After about an hour of this torment — I specifically checked my watch. At that time, the seconds felt like years, and I felt that the time was much longer than that — the plane finally tried to land.
The first landing was a failure. The plane wobbled over the runway and then quickly ascended again. Our emotions were like a roller coaster.
The second landing, the plane finally landed on the runway. After it came to a stop, a bunch of police cars and fire trucks surrounded it. It was like a big movie.
After we got off the plane, we found out that the plane had landed in Saipan.
If you thought that this was the biggest news of the day, you were wrong. After we got off the plane, while waiting for the immigration procedures, several people from Huaxia, who were sitting in the first-class cabin, told us that there was a problem with the plane's pilot. It was a passenger from the first-class cabin who landed the plane. Moreover, that passenger was a fellow citizen of Huaxia!
At first, we didn't believe it. It was simply a fantasy! But soon, we saw a young man from Huaxia accompanied by a Qantas staff. After we asked him, we found out that he was the one who landed the plane safely!
Let me ask you, isn't he awesome?
Lastly, I have a feeling that he will be popular all over China in the photo I took with him last time.
Anyway, my girlfriend told me to go swimming at the beach. We were originally going to Australia, but now we'll enjoy the sunshine and beaches of Saipan! Oh right, Qantas will take care of all the expenses!
… …
Originally, with the number of fans he had, it was very difficult to attract attention.
But this blogger @'d a few aviation celebrities, and one of them helped him forward the post. Such a complicated and bizarre story naturally attracted a lot of attention, and it quickly became a hot topic.
Of course, many people were skeptical about the content of the blogger's post, and some even sneered at it.
Among them, there were a lot of aviation professionals, including pilots, captains, controllers, and so on.
These people naturally paid more attention to the information in the industry.
One of the captains' comments was very representative:
"The blogger's post is full of mistakes. I don't dare say that it's made up, but it's really hard to believe that such a thing happened.
First of all, this kind of international flight has at least two captains, some even have two crew members, which means that there are at least three pilots. The probability of three pilots failing at the same time is lower than winning the lottery.
Secondly, flying is a very professional thing, especially modern airliners. Let alone a complete layman, even a private pilot who has been trained to fly small planes would find it difficult to land an Airbus A350 smoothly.
Could it be that the passenger in the first class cabin was a professional pilot who happened to fly an Airbus series plane? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?
So, I think that the flight might have encountered some accident, so it landed in Saipan. As for the Huaxia compatriot who flew the plane, I think that's very unlikely. I hope you don't spread false rumors. "
Many aviation industry insiders supported the captain's point of view. To be fair, this was a relatively objective judgment.
But many things couldn't be explained by professionalism.
Not long after the captain's post was posted, it was "slapped in the face" by Qantas' official Weibo account.
Qantas valued Huaxia's business, so it opened a verified account on the Weibo platform long ago.
This time, the Qantas incident hadn't fully developed, and public opinion was still in a state of chaos, but Qantas' official Weibo suddenly posted a very formal post.
The content of the post was: Today, flight QF108 from Huaxia to Sydney, Australia, encountered an extreme accident during the flight. In the case of pilot failure, Huaxia passenger Mr Xia, with his outstanding courage and extraordinary skills, helped the crew complete an epic forced landing. Qantas is deeply grateful for this!
There was also a picture attached to the post, which was the original document of Qantas' official announcement, followed by the signature of the Qantas president.
