Adams was a freelance geek. Like most other geeks, he regarded innovation, technology, and fashion as the meaning of his life. He was willing to make his own contribution to the modern electronic society and culture.
In early October, he was invited by a Fortune 500 Internet company to participate in a geek convention held in the capital of China. Then he spent several days in Beijing, visiting famous tourist attractions such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.
After he was done, Adams booked a ticket to return to the United States on Zhenmei Airlines. He still had a geek party to attend in New York, so he took flight UD725!
At the time of the accident, Adams was sitting in the seventh row of the economy class, near the aisle seat.
When he realized that something was wrong, he immediately took out the selfie GO sports camera that he carried with him, crouched in his seat, and secretly took photos.
In fact, Adams was not the only one who secretly took photos in the economy class. Many passengers also turned on the camera on their mobile phones, but they were not as lucky as Adams.
First of all, the GO sports camera that Adams used was a high-end product. Not only did it have high pixels, but it also came with optical zoom and triple optical anti-shake function. Therefore, the quality of the video he secretly took was far superior to that of a mobile phone.
He was also very courageous. When the burly man fired, he still risked his life to continue filming, so he captured the most complete process of the entire incident.
After the secretly filming was completed, Adams quietly copied the video stored in the camera to the USB drive, and then he stuffed the USB drive into his sneakers.
The facts proved Adams's cleverness. After the plane made an emergency landing, all the electronic devices of the passengers were confiscated by the FBI, including Adams' GO sports camera.
When he got back his camera, the memory card in it was actually replaced with a new one, and the capacity was doubled.
The reason was very simple. Adams recorded the scene, and it was not safe to just delete the video. There was a possibility that the technology could recover it, so the FBI simply replaced the original.
On the surface, of course, Adams scolded the FBI, but after getting off the plane, he immediately returned to his residence in New York, simply edited the video stored in the USB drive, and uploaded it to his Tbook account.
The video was labeled: UD725, Zhenmei Airlines, Hero, Truth, etc.
Tbook was the largest social network in the United States and the world, with more than 1.5 billion registered users. It was also the world's largest photo and video sharing website, with more than 500 million photos uploaded by users every day.
At the moment, the biggest hot topic on Tbook was undoubtedly the UD725 incident. This was also the place where all kinds of rumors and rumors took place. Before the FAA's official statement was announced, countless news and rumors had already spread on Tbook, causing people to panic.
After the FAA held a press conference, the heat of the incident dropped significantly. After all, there was no hijacking or terrorist attack, so everyone paid less attention to it.
But UD725 was undoubtedly the most popular search term on Tbook today.
Therefore, when Adams' high-definition video of the scene was uploaded for only half a minute, someone immediately noticed it and forwarded it.
Then …
Then, like a plague, it spread on Tbook. The number of clicks and reposts reached a terrifying level. It only took ten minutes for it to reach the trending list on the homepage of Tbook!
This video caused a great sensation in the Tbook circle. Countless media reporters heard the news and rushed to download it. At the same time, they desperately tried to contact Adams.
When many Tbook users saw this video for the first time, they first doubted its authenticity.
Because as a candid video, Adams shot it too well. Whether it was clarity, stability, or shooting angle, it was close to professional standards. It gave people the feeling that it was a posed shot.
Moreover, the content of the video was also very shocking, especially the process of Lu Chen rushing toward the armed man. The scene of the latter shooting at Lu Chen was simply breathtaking.
In such a dangerous situation, Lu Chen completed an incredible counterattack, knocking down the armed man with lightning speed, thus saving flight UD725 and more than 400 passengers on the plane!
Is this real? Could it be a prank made by some cameraman himself?
"Fuck, is this a clip from a movie? Don't try to fool me! "
"It's too clear. Student Adams, please use some thought. Wouldn't it be more realistic if it's blurred?"
"OMG, is it real or fake?"
"This hero is from China? This doesn't make sense! "
"Go eat sh * t!"
"It's too fake. Whoever believes it is an idiot!"
"I don't believe it either …"
However, these doubts and abusive comments were quickly slapped in the face.
Because soon, media reporters confirmed through interviews with the passengers of the flight that the video was completely real. It was definitely not a staged shot or a scene from a certain movie or TV show!
Then, the resourceful CNK bought the copyright of the video from Adams at a high price and broadcast it on their news channel immediately.
CNK was the largest TV station in the United States, and its news program was broadcast in more than 30 countries around the world. Its influence was undoubtedly very great.
Therefore, when this video news was released, it not only caused a sensation in the United States but also had a certain impact around the world. It was rebroadcast by many authorized TV stations.
As the initiator, Adams' personal circle in Tbook was full of people. While everyone praised him for his courage and means, they were all asking who the hero in this video was!
Adams responded quickly, saying that he did not know the name and nationality of the protagonist. He judged that it should be a Chinese sitting in business class. The specific situation was probably only known by the FAA and the FBI.
In fact, at this time, the FAA and the FBI were very embarrassed. The former had just announced that the incident was not serious, but the leaked video proved that their definition of the word "serious" had serious problems.
The FBI's negligence allowed Adams to take advantage of the loophole, which was also a Big loss of face.
However, the two of them could do nothing. After all, this did not involve national security. It was completely an accident, and they could not punish Adams according to the relevant regulations.
Moreover, the secretly filmed video had been spread all over the world. It would be a waste of effort to cover it up.
Under the pressure of public opinion, the FAA and the FBI had no choice but to announce again that they would release the results of the investigation as soon as possible to give an explanation to all the people who were concerned about this incident.
But the media was too lazy to pay attention to the FAA and the FBI. Like the people of the United States, they were most concerned about …
Who was this hero from China?
