Chapter 959 10 Seconds of Fright
Captain Brooke was stunned. He stared at Xia Ruofei and asked, "You... how did you know? Could it be..."
Xia Ruofei said: "I don't know any Wilkins, but my hearing happens to be better, and the seat is closer to you, so I heard it all!"
Captain Brooke was a little calmer now - what he was most worried about was that Wilkins had accomplices on the plane.
Of course, after thinking about it, he felt that this possibility is not very big. You must know that Wilkins is going to commit suicide by flying. How can there be so many people who don't want to die? Moreover, from the perspective of Wilkins' operation method, he does not need the cooperation of his accomplices at all. At least for now, it is a dead end, and he has no way to do it.
So Captain Brook also accepted Xia Ruofei's explanation.
"Sir, since you heard it, please keep it a secret so as not to cause panic among the passengers!" Captain Brooke said solemnly. "In addition, please return to your seat immediately! Don't interfere with our breaking the door!"
Xia Ruofei shook his head and said, "No! I think you need help very much. If this goes on, I'm afraid the plane will crash into the sea, and you won't be able to open the cockpit door!"
Captain Brooke frowned and said, "Do you have a solution?"
Xia Ruofei smiled and walked up to the air policeman and said, "Please give me the axe!"
Out of professional sensitivity, the air policeman retracted his hand subconsciously, made a defensive gesture, and did not hand the axe to Xia Ruofei.
And Captain Brooke was also hesitant, because he didn't think the thin oriental man could open the solid cockpit door.
But Xia Ruofei didn't give them time to think at all, and stepped forward after saying that.
The air policeman just felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then his hand lightened, and he was shocked to find that the axe in his hand had reached Xia Ruofei's hand.
"Please step back a little!" Xia Ruofei said lightly.
Captain Brooke motioned for everyone to get out of the way - this is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and it is definitely impossible to let the explosion-proof axe fall into the hands of passengers.
Xia Ruofei raised the explosion-proof axe in both hands and slashed towards the cockpit door, but he was far inferior to the air policeman just now in terms of his physical strength and the momentum when he slashed.
Captain Brook muttered in his heart: I may be crazy, but I have a glimmer of hope for this Chinese...
However, the next moment left him stunned.
Xia Ruofei went down with an axe that seemed to be weak, and the cockpit door made of solid alloy actually had an obvious depression, and there was even a small crack at the bottom of the depression...
"God..." Captain Brooke and the air policeman said to themselves in unison.
There was hope in the hearts of the crew.
If you can break the cockpit door, there is a great possibility to save the plane! After all, Wilkins was the only one in the cockpit.
Xia Ruofei was a little depressed. He thought that when the axe went down, the cockpit door should be opened in response, because his seemingly understated axe had actually used all his strength and poured his true energy into it, even if It is a thick steel plate, and it will also be split by him with an axe.
Yet it seemed he had underestimated how secure the cockpit door was.
But Xia Ruofei did not hesitate, and raised the axe high again.
Bang!
This time, the depression of the cabin door was more obvious, and the cracks also expanded, revealing the metal structure inside the cabin door.
"That's the door lock!" Captain Brooke said sharply, "This gentleman, please cut the position of the lock!"
Xia Ruofei turned back and made an OK gesture, took a deep breath, and raised the explosion-proof axe again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Xia Ruofei slashed three times in a row, each of which landed exactly in the same position.
The thick alloy lock also cracked, but it still stubbornly locked the cockpit door.
Xia Ruofei stepped forward to check, and turned back and said, "Go back a little bit!"
Then, Xia Ruofei also stepped back five or six steps, almost to the curtain of the first class cabin. As for Captain Brooke, they all retreated to the kitchen of the front cabin, sticking out their heads and staring at Xia Ruofei nervously.
Xia Ruofei threw the explosion-proof axe aside, and then rushed towards the cockpit. In just a few steps, his speed had already picked up. When he came to the door of the cabin, Xia Ruofei turned to his side, full of infuriating energy. They all concentrated on the back of the right shoulder, and then continued the momentum, using a mountain-like action similar to traditional martial arts, and slammed into the cockpit door heavily.
There was a muffled bang, and a scene that Captain Brook and other crew members would never forget appeared-the door of the cockpit was slammed open by Xia Ruofei!
They could see it clearly just now. Although the alloy lock was cracked, it was far from being cut off, and the cockpit door opened outwards. Angle, which means that the hinge on the other side, which is also very strong, has also been damaged by this collision!
Captain Brooke was the first to regain his senses, and he took the lead in rushing up.
Xia Ruofei was stunned for a moment when he saw that the cabin door had not fallen yet. At this time, Captain Brooke had rushed over and pulled the cabin door in the opposite direction, and the door was easily opened.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help blushing - it turned out that he had gone in the wrong direction!
After the door opened, Xia Ruofei also saw the situation in the cockpit clearly.
In the left seat, there was an old gray-haired pilot leaning on the seat crookedly, his head drooping, and there was a trace of blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he had long since lost his breath.
The pilot on the right should be Wilkins. He obviously did not expect that the cockpit door could actually be broken open from the outside. At this time, he was looking back with a look of astonishment on his face.
However, Wilkins quickly recovered. He did not panic, but picked up a crossbow gun from his side. This kind of crossbow gun Xia Ruofei had also encountered when he was serving in the special forces. Crossbow guns fire steel balls, and the strongest ones can even penetrate steel plates when fired at close range.
Xia Ruofei realized a trace of danger, but at this time, the anxious Captain Brook had blocked him. He had no way to rush over and grab the crossbow gun at the first time, so it took such a half-beat delay, and Wilkins had already raised Fired the crossbow.
However, his target was not Captain Brooke and Xia Ruofei behind him.
I saw Wilkins with a crazy smile on his face, aiming the crossbow gun at the windshield in front of him, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Brooke's face changed greatly, as if he saw the most terrifying scene in the world, he shouted wildly: "No! No! Wilkins! Stop!"
However, it was too late. In Wilkins' crossbow gun, the steel ball shot out quickly and hit the windshield. The windshield, which is known for its strength and safety, was suddenly hit with a mesh-like crack.
Wilkins' behavior is extremely crazy, because in such a small space, the steel ball will definitely form a ricochet, and he does not know who will be hit under the irregular reflection. He sits close at hand, Probably the most dangerous.
The reason why Brook reacted so fiercely, even more scared than Wilkins shooting him directly, was because, as a senior captain, he had already figured out the purpose of Wilkins' crazy move for the first time.
Wilkins wanted to smash the windshield. At this time, the plane was at an altitude of more than 20,000 feet. The inside of the plane was pressurized and basically maintained at standard atmospheric pressure, while the air outside the cabin was very thin, and the pressure difference between the inside and outside. huge.
The plane at this time is like a balloon, but the balloon wall is very solid.
If the windshield is broken, it is equivalent to the balloon being punctured, and the air inside the cabin will leak out at high speed along the breach. If the balloon encounters this situation, it will naturally explode with a bang, and when the plane encounters such an explosive loss of pressure, the breach will be torn open at once, and then the air will be deficient in oxygen, Low temperature and other environments are absolutely deadly for people in the cabin.
The speed of the aircraft at this time is converted into a number that everyone can easily understand. It is about seven or eight hundred kilometers per hour. If it is exposed to the outside environment, it is equivalent to racing at a speed of seven or eight hundred kilometers in a low temperature of minus tens of degrees. , and there is no windshield, that kind of situation can be imagined...
Of course, under normal circumstances, the windshield is very safe.
There are 3 layers of windshield glass, the outermost layer is thermally tempered glass, and the middle and inner layers are chemically tempered glass. The layers of glass are bonded together by polyurethane layers and PVB layers.
Under normal circumstances, the cockpit windshield can withstand 5 times the maximum pressure difference between the inside and outside of the aircraft. Even if one structural layer, such as the inner layer or the middle layer is damaged, the cockpit windshield can still withstand the load of 2 times the maximum pressure difference, which is very safe. of.
But Wilkins is obviously very skilled. The powerful crossbow gun in his hand is still firing continuously, and the windshield is in front of him, so he pulls the trigger without hesitation, and the high-speed powerful steel ball continuously hits the At the same location, cracks began to appear in the inner and outer glass soon.
Such extreme situations were definitely not envisaged when the aircraft was designed, so even the windshield of the cockpit of an aircraft that can withstand the impact of flying birds or hail at high speed is so fragile under the fire of a powerful crossbow gun.
The whole process is very complicated to describe. In fact, it only takes two or three seconds. Even Xia Ruofei has not fully reacted. Wilkins has fired at least six or seven steel balls.
Wilkins' determination is too firm.
In the desperate eyes of Captain Brooke, there was a "bang" in the cockpit, as if a small explosive exploded in the cockpit, and then the entire right windshield disappeared.
Then disappeared Wilkins crazy - the air in the cabin leaked out of this gap at high speed, sucking everything that was not fixed in the cabin.
Wilkins, who was extremely determined to die, didn't wear a seat belt at all, so he was sucked out of the gap in the windshield by the airflow at the first time.
At this time, the cruising speed of the aircraft reached about Mach 0.8, which is equivalent to eight or nine hundred kilometers per hour, so after Wilkins was sucked out of the cabin, he disappeared instantly.
Such a tragic death method really makes people tremble, how crazy it must be to do such a thing to oneself!
In fact, Brooke and Xia Ruofei at the door of the cockpit could not estimate Wilkins at all, because at the moment when the windshield burst, all the unfixed items in the cabin, including the flight manual, were flying all over the sky, and all were sucked out from the hole. .
Even the driver's seat on the right was instantly deformed by the impact of the high-speed airflow.
The entire cockpit was filled with the whistling sound of the air, and other sounds were completely inaudible.
Brook and Xia Ruofei, who were not fixed by seat belts, were naturally sucked into the hole by the airflow. Xia Ruofei ran his true qi and quickly stabilized his body as if he was rooted on the floor.
But Captain Brooke, who was in his 40s, was very embarrassed. One of the steel balls that had just splashed hit his left arm, and he was bleeding profusely, and the whole arm couldn't work anymore. I'm afraid he injured his bones. . At the moment when the glass burst, he was sucked in involuntarily, and his right shoulder slammed into the back of the passenger seat.
If Xia Ruofei hadn't grabbed his leg quickly, I'm afraid he would have followed Wilkins's footsteps immediately.
As for the flight attendants and air police behind Xia Ruofei, they were also blown away.
Because the cockpit door has been destroyed, the entire cockpit and the space behind the passenger compartment are actually connected, so the rear cabin is also in a mess. Under the sudden drop in air pressure, the oxygen masks in the cabin all hang down in an instant. Coupled with the violent tremor of the plane, many passengers couldn't help screaming loudly.
After the high-pressure air in the cabin quickly leaked out, the pressure difference between the inside and outside reached a balance.
At this time, the air in the cabin is already very thin, and the cold wind is pouring in from the hole, the wind is howling in the entire cockpit, and the high-pressure airflow just now is torn, it seems that the aircraft's autopilot system has also been damaged. It swayed violently without any control.
After a brief period of horror, Captain Brooke recovered quickly, struggled to stand up, and took a risky step into the co-pilot's seat.
Fortunately, the pressure difference between the inside and outside has been balanced at this moment, and the terrifying suction does not exist anymore. On the contrary, the cold airflow is pouring in from the hole, and he is not in danger of being sucked out.
Now the plane is still at an altitude of more than 20,000 feet, the air is very thin, and the oxygen content is extremely low. In this case, it only takes ten to dozens of seconds, and a person will fall into a coma due to lack of oxygen in the brain. At that time, the plane is really a fairy and can't be saved.
Therefore, Captain Brook's first thought was to quickly reduce the altitude so that the oxygen concentration in the cabin could barely maintain the human body's needs.
The joysticks on Airbus planes are somewhat similar to game joysticks and are located near the windows on either side.
After Captain Brooke sat down, he immediately grabbed the joystick and pushed it forward, trying to quickly reduce the flight altitude of the plane.
However, when he exerted force, he couldn't help screaming in pain, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead instantly...
