Yang Jing asked: "Captain, where are we now?"
The captain quickly replied, "If our route is normal, we should be over Logansport right now. However, because our plane has been descending for two minutes and has deviated from the original route when it flipped just now, we are now approximately between Logansport and Campty. This is very close to the Toledo Bend Reservoir."
As they were talking, a vast expanse of water came into view ahead. Judging from the long and narrow lake extending from north to south, this lake should be the Toledo Bend Reservoir located on the border between Texas and Louisiana.
This reservoir is a huge artificial reservoir formed by damming the Sabine River in the 1960s. With an average width of more than six kilometers and a length of nearly ninety kilometers, it is the largest artificial lake in the southwestern United States.
The reservoir has enough water surface to allow the plane to make an emergency landing, and everyone knows that an emergency landing on the water is much better than an emergency landing on the ground. After all, the buffering force of the water surface can protect the aircraft from disintegration to the greatest extent, and can also limit the occurrence of fire to the greatest extent. If the emergency landing on the water can be successfully carried out, the survival probability of the passengers in the aircraft will be greatly improved.
When Nathan saw the vast expanse of water, he was delighted and said quickly, "Captain, we have now controlled the flight attitude, but if we want to make an emergency landing, we must turn the plane over again. So, if we want to make an emergency landing on the lake, we must turn the plane over again now, otherwise we will miss the opportunity to make an emergency landing on the lake."
The captain gritted his teeth and said to the radio: "Houston, Houston, this is A152. We are flying backwards now, so the flight attitude is temporarily under control. But because we have just drained all the fuel, we must make an emergency landing now. We are going to make an emergency landing on the surface of Toledo Bend Reservoir. Houston, please arrange for nearby personnel to come to the rescue. We only have two minutes, we only have two minutes!"
"Toledo Bend Reservoir? Roger. We'll get help right away! a152, God be with you..."
After the captain finished speaking, he looked at the co-pilot, then turned the communication switch to the internal communication channel and said calmly: "Dear passengers, this is the captain. I believe you are all aware of our current situation. The plane has lost control, but I want to take you to a successful emergency landing. I am confident that this plane can make a successful emergency landing. So, don't panic, be sure to sit in your seats and fasten your seat belts. We are going to flip the plane again now. You must follow the instructions to prepare for impact. We expect to land on the water in two minutes..." The captain hesitated, but still said, "God is with us!"
There was a burst of noisy sound again in the rear cabin, but as the plane turned and flipped again, the rear cabin suddenly became quiet. Perhaps at this time all the passengers were praying devoutly.
After the plane successfully flipped over, the altitude of the plane had dropped to less than 2,000 feet. The Toledo Bend Reservoir was less than one kilometer ahead. But at this moment, the plane suddenly shook again, and the co-pilot shouted in horror: "Sir, one of our engines has stopped..."
No wonder. When the plane was diving just now, all the fuel in the fuel tank had been discharged. It was God's blessing that the only bit of fuel was able to allow the plane to turn over again.
The captain had obviously made up his mind at this point. He nodded to show that he understood, then turned to Yang Jing and Nathan and said, "Gentlemen, thank you for this brilliant idea. We have barely managed to control our flight attitude now, and we will have to make an emergency landing on the lake in about twenty seconds, so you two had better return to your seats and fasten your seat belts."
Yang Jing and Nathan looked at each other, and turned around and ran without even a murmur. They couldn't just stand there at this time, otherwise the huge impact force during the forced landing would kill them both.
As soon as he returned to his seat and fastened his seat belt, the plane shook violently again, and a uniform cry of surprise rang out again in the entire cabin. Yang Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew that the last engine of the plane had stopped.
The originally noisy plane suddenly became quiet. At this time, the plane could only glide by relying on inertia. As for whether it could make an emergency landing on the water, it really depended on God's will.
This Boeing 737 has only two first-class seats and six business-class seats in the back. However, Yang Jing is the only first-class passenger on this flight. So Yang Jing is ready to activate the restricted time-space shuttle skill at any time. If there is anything wrong with the plane, he will leave this time and space immediately.
At this moment, we no longer care about being exposed or not, saving our lives is the first priority.
The plane was gliding quietly in the air. Yang Jing could vaguely hear the alarm sounding outside. He turned his head and looked out through the porthole. A large number of ambulances and speedboats had gathered on the ground and water not far away.
