Chapter 353 Destiny!

"What?" Xu Cang's face changed drastically: "What's going on?"
Lu Jinghua's face turned red, and he was obviously angry: "China Airlines Flight 611 is planned to fly to Xiangjiang. We have a colleague from the marketing department on the plane. He is back to visit relatives opposite and communicates with the other side in advance about possible New Year charter flights. He originally planned to return through Xiangjiang, but this happened."
At this time, there were no direct flights between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, and they usually traveled through Xiangjiang. The employee of Spring and Summer Airlines is from the mainland, but there were relatives opposite him. They occasionally went back to take a look and never thought of something.
Several years ago, the mainland could go to the opposite province indirectly via Hong Kong and Macao. However, there has been news recently that it may arrange direct air round-trip flights between the two sides during the Chinese New Year next year. This is not a fixed flight, but it is also a good sign.
Spring and summer aviation is likely to be unable to get involved, but if you listen to some news and make preparations early in case of emergencies, what if you encounter something that has fallen from the sky, you have to continue?
"Last night, he also reported to me about his work and said that this New Year flight was mainly handled by airlines from the opposite province, and we basically don't participate, and then."
Xu Cang wiped his face and his mind was buzzing: "Are you sure?"
"Strictly speaking, it has not been confirmed yet." Lu Jinghua paused for a moment and sorted out what he knew now: "What I can be sure of now is that after taking off, China Airlines Flight 611 made its last land-to-air call at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters. About twelve minutes later, the aircraft's radar signal disappeared at an altitude of 10,600 meters 23 nautical miles northeast of Penghu. Since then, the aircraft's radar signal has never appeared again."
“So far?”
Lu Jinghua nodded: "So far!"
Xu Cang paced back and forth in the conference room, but finally took out his cell phone and called his master.
"Master, are you in the General Administration now?"
"Here, what's wrong?" Chen Xiangdong heard the anxiety in Xu Cang's words and misunderstood: "Xu Cang, did Old Wu call you just now? I'll tell you. This is the matter."
"No, Master, there is an airplane opposite near Penghu. Do you know?"
"Hmm?" From the phone, you could clearly hear the movement of Chen Xiangdong standing up: "Where did you know?"
"Master, go and ask Hang Ansi, their news is the most effective and fastest. There is a colleague in our company on that plane. I want to confirm what the plane is going on now."
Chen Xiangdong also realized the seriousness of the problem: "You wait for my phone call, I'll go find Li Lin now."
After saying that, Chen Xiangdong hung up the phone directly, and seemed to be in a hurry to find Li Lin, the director of the Aviation and Announcement Department.
Putting down the phone, Xu Cang bit his lip anxiously. Because some technical failures may cause the radar signal to disappear, but according to Lu Jinghua's meaning, this time has been a while. As time goes by, the probability of the so-called technical failure becomes smaller.
"Is there any abnormal weather in the airspace where the accident happened? Is there any relay faults related to the aircraft flying on duty?" Xu Cang looked at Lu Jinghua and asked.
"No, the weather on the route is very good. However, I don't know what the flight is. However, as far as I know, the flight was originally planned to be operated by a 747-400, but due to the plane's failure, it was temporarily replaced for a 747-200."
"747-200?" Xu Cang was stunned: "That is an aircraft with a very old age."
The 747-200 is a very old model, and Xu Cang estimated that the aircraft would probably be more than fifteen years old.
However, Lu Jinghua gave a surprising number: "The machine age is not very big, but very big, and it seems that it has been more than twenty-two years, which is really outrageous."
"Twenty-two years?" Even Xu Cang was shocked. For the passenger plane, the basic age of the aircraft is more than fifteen years, and it is still flying if it can reach twenty-two years. Even Xu Cang has never heard of it: "With such a large age, are there no corresponding regulations there?"
"It seems that the use of aircraft over twenty years of age is restricted. Unless in certain emergency situations, flights are not allowed." Lu Jinghua sighed: "The original flight of China Airlines Flight 661 was a 747-400, and the age was normal. As a result, this 747-400 failed, and there was no backup 747, which happened to be an emergency situation in the regulations, so China Airlines activated the 747-200."
"China Airlines Flight 661?" Xu Cang searched hard for his memory, but he seemed to have not found the corresponding memory.
Not all aviation accidents are known to Xu Cang, perhaps this is an accident he missed.
"Don't notify his family before you make sure." Xu Cang glanced at the phone on the desktop, as if in response to Xu Cang's waiting, the screen of the phone immediately lit up, it was the caller ID!
Xu Cang immediately stepped over and glanced at the phone screen. It was Chen Xiangdong's number and immediately connected: "Master, is there any news?"
"Xu Cang, it seems that something really happened to China Airlines. Flight 661, the radar signal disappeared near Penghu, and I have not been contacted until now, so I am afraid it will be a little bit bad. A search and rescue team has been sent there. If there is any new news, I will notify you immediately."
"Okay, please trouble you, Master."
"What are you going to have to do with me?" Chen Xiangdong coughed twice: "Although I can't be sure, Xu, you can almost be mentally prepared."
"Well, I understand." Xu Cang said a little heavy: "I will look at it and deal with it. By the way, Master, can you fax me the information on China Airlines Flight 661 that you can get now?"
"It's okay. However, I don't know much. Of course, you can just take a look at this kind of thing, don't spread it randomly."
Xu Cang nodded: "I understand this."
After saying that, Xu Cang hung up the phone, looked at Lu Jinghua, and sighed: "It seems that something really happened."
At Xiangjiang Airport, Lian Shanli dragged her tired body and walked out of the cabin with her younger brother Lian Shanjin. The flight for more than ten hours made them feel extremely tired. However, walking on the bridge and blowing the air conditioner discharged from the bridge, Lian Shanli's spirit was slightly raised.

If this were the case in the past, Lian Shanjin would have been reluctant to ask for it, but now he narrowed his eyes: "Sister, what's the matter with you? You're not going to date someone, right?"
Lian Shanli immediately stopped, twisted Lian Shanjin's ear with her left hand and made a circle. Lian Shanjin was so painful that she screamed like a pig.
There were others around him, and even Shanli was not good at doing too much. After a little punishment, she let go. Then she snorted with a cold look: "You have a mouth, you can speak, huh?"
"I also care about who my brother-in-law is, and I didn't talk nonsense." Lian Shanjin muttered.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking about." Lian Shanli threatened: "You should keep in mind my affairs."
Lian Shanjin obviously had healed his scar and forgot to hurt. As soon as Lian Shanli let go, he started to smile: "Sister, is it that Xu Cang? When I was in Munich before, I had a good impression of him."
"Xu Cang?" Lian Shanli was stunned for a moment: "Why do you have such hallucinations?"
Lian Shanjin scratched his head: "Ah? Isn't it?"
"Isn't it?" Lian Shanli raised her hand, and immediately scared Lian Shanjin's neck to shrink and she no longer dared to speak.
Lianshan siblings took ten minutes to walk slowly to the place close to the luggage hall, took the checked luggage, and went out to the floor exit. Lianshanli looked at her phone again, but Shen Ning still didn't reply. She exclaimed lightly, and then called her, but it was still a reminder to turn off the phone.
"What is he doing?" Lian Shanli muttered, looked around, and her eyes quickly fixed at a passenger consultation point not far away.
Lian Shanjin saw that Lian Shanli was not leaving anymore and was a little surprised: "Sister, what's wrong?"
"You wait for me here, I'll go there to ask about things." As he said that, Lianshan Lishu went down to Lianshanjin and headed for the passenger consultation point.
Walking to the counter, the service staff smiled professionally: "Hello, what can I do to help you?"
"Can you please help me check the flight dynamics?"
"If it is a flight that takes off from here or lands here, it can be found."
Lian Shanli hurriedly said, "It landed here."
"That's OK." The service staff typed on the computer keyboard a few times, then looked up at Lian Shanli: "Do you know the flight number?"
Lian Shanli took out her cell phone and flipped through the text message record with Shen Ning: "It's Flight 661 of China Airlines."
The service staff of "China Airlines 661" entered the flight number and waited for a while, but their faces became strange.
Lian Shanli saw the change in the service staff's expression and felt a slap in her heart: "What's wrong?"
"Sorry, the flight information shows that China Airlines Flight 661 is in an abnormal state."
"Abnormal state?" Lian Shanli suddenly became nervous: "Is something wrong? What does this mean?"
"It's not necessarily true." The service staff smiled and said, "Most of the abnormal states return or landing are back. There is no specific reason for the abnormal state. I'll call our manager and wait a moment."
Lian Shanli breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the service staff say this.
If the plane returned or landed for some reason, then Shen Ning would explain that he did not answer the phone or text messages.
Sure enough, the service staff immediately called his superior: "Manager, there is a lady here who wants to check the situation of China Airlines flight 661. However, what I checked here shows was abnormal status. Can you find the specific situation there?"
Lian Shanli immediately raised her ears and waited a little nervously.
However, the next second, the muscles on the service staff's face twitched a few times, and then looked at Lian Shanli with an inexplicable look.
Lian Shanli's heart that had been let go immediately hung up.
"Okay, I understand, I will tell him." After saying that, the service staff hung up the phone and sighed softly: "Madam, we just received the message that China Airlines Flight 661 is now missing. The plane lost its message two hours ago, and we have not received updates from China Airlines Flight 661."
Lian Shanli was almost unsteady when she was struck by lightning: "Lost and missing?"
"Damn it, it's really a twenty-two-year-old plane." In the conference room, Xu Cang looked at the documents of China Airlines Flight 661 that Chen Xiangdong faxed, including the situation of some of the 747-200 planes on the flight.
As Lu Jinghua said, the age of this aircraft is extremely exaggerated. It was really outrageous when it was twenty-two years and seven months, that is, Xu Cang was a few years younger.
Although the age of the aircraft does not mean that it is unsafe, twenty-two years of aircraft age can no longer be fully guaranteed by maintenance. It is precisely because of this consideration that the Civil Aviation Administration on the opposite side restricts the use of aircraft for more than twenty years, but there seems to be a problem.
"This plane hasn't been flying for a long time, but there has never been a fault record of the transponder." Lu Jinghua was also reading these documents. To be honest, in addition to the age of the aircraft, there seems to be no big problem with this 747-200.
Nowadays, many people probably hope that the transponder and communication system will all fail, so that the radar signal cannot be seen and communication cannot be established.
However, there is still a possibility of failure of any of them, but the possibility of failure of both at the same time is very small.
In the document Chen Xiangdong faxed over, there is also a height change table of China Airlines Flight 661. Xu Cang looked at this chart with great seriousness: "This aircraft did not have any altitude drop before the radar signal disappeared, which is not very good."
Lu Jinghua was stunned: "What does it mean?"
Xu Cang threw the chart aside: "Concerning the extremely high age of the aircraft, this situation is actually more in line with the manifestation of air disintegration."
Lu Jinghua's face suddenly turned pale: "You mean the plane was flying and suddenly disintegrated in the air?"
"This is more in line with the information shown now." Xu Cang held his forehead: "But if this is the case, there would be no way out."
While Xu Cang spoke, he looked at a piece of paper in the pile of documents, which was the passenger list of China Airlines Flight 661.
Among them is the name of Chen Nian, which is the name of the colleague from Spring and Summer Airlines.
"All the information is right?" Xu Cang tsk his mouth and looked at Lu Jinghua with a little downward emotion.
"It's him." Lu Jinghua sighed sincerely: "For reimbursement, he sent me the air ticket information in advance, which is exactly consistent with the information above."
Xu Cang sat on the chair and licked his lips. There were a total of 233 passengers on it. What a tragedy that would be!
Suddenly, Xu Cang glanced at another name on the list from the corner of his eyes, and his heart suddenly became nervous.
At the bottom of the passenger list homepage, there is a name - Chen Ning! "Chen Ning?" Xu Cang's face suddenly changed: "No, Lian Shanli!"
