The China Eastern Airlines crash a few days ago reminded me of Captain Sully who made an emergency landing on the Hudson River in New York. Before I went to Hudson River, I paid more attention to this film in the various harassment and interrogation of Captain Sully by the US Aviation Administration. Later, I went to the place where the Hudson River made a forced landing. There are many high-rise buildings and many bridges nearby. It is really very difficult to make a successful landing. And when the plane just took off, the flight level was very low. The time left for the captain is very short from the time the aircraft fails to the time when a correct decision needs to be made. However, after seeing Captain Sally again after many years, I realized that it was his years of professional training and correct decision-making that saved the people on the plane.
There have been some plane accidents in recent years, and the chances of surviving if they crash are slim. The one that impressed me the most was flight MH370 in 2014, but the cause of the plane crash is still debated. When I heard the news back then, I was also a little shocked and scared. Before the epidemic, I flew all over the United States every year, and even cross-border flights to Asia, Europe and other places. I only had two problems. The first time was flying from Shanghai to Manila in August 2014. Due to the strong air currents in the Pacific Ocean, I could feel the plane descending rapidly. I am still impressed by the sense of weightlessness. Another time was flying from Boston to Louisville in July 2018. Because the air conditioner of the plane was broken, we were forced to get off the plane and change to another plane. Fortunately, the plane hadn't taken off at that time.
However, according to statistical surveys, the plane is the safest means of transportation in the world, and the probability of an accident in a plane is even lower than the probability of driving from home to the airport. For this, we should thank those who have silently contributed to the aviation cause, as well as those who have accumulated experience with blood and tears in the past. It is because of these that we have a safer way to travel.
Let's not deny this mode of transportation because of this aviation accident. After all, there is no absolutely perfect transportation in the world, and what we humans can do is to make it safer and safer.
May the dead rest in peace, RIP!
