1983 a plane suddenly ran out of gas at an altitude of 12000 meters, and the captain stepped forward. What was the result?

Careful observation of small things is the secret of success in career, art, science and life. -Smyer

With the development of social science and technology and the increasingly obvious trend of economic globalization, the contact between countries has become very frequent. Because of this, many China people will do business abroad, and many foreigners will choose to come to China, a huge market, to seek opportunities. Therefore, it is very necessary to have a means of transportation, which I believe many people have already thought of, and that is the plane.

What happens when the plane runs out of gas?

But when it comes to airplanes, many people are scared. Because there have been many reports about plane crashes in recent years, many people subconsciously think that planes are unsafe, so naturally they will not choose planes when traveling. However, you may not believe that airplanes are actually the safest means of transportation in the world, and the accident rate is only one in three million. This probability is very small, but any vehicle will have an accident, and there are naturally planes.

As we all know, plane crashes are often caused by the weather, but have you ever heard of a wonderful plane accident called the plane ran out of oil in the air? If everyone runs out of gas when driving on the road, they may just be unable to walk, but it won't have much impact. But if the plane flies in the air and loses its breath, the outcome is unimaginable. Having said that, I believe many people will think that if such a thing really happens, the plane will only have one ending, that is, it will fall and the passengers will die.

Indeed, the sudden lack of oil on the plane is very fatal. 10 There may be 9 people who think that the plane will definitely die, even myself. But it was not until something happened that I believed that there would really be a miracle in the world. What I want to talk about today is a magical thing, which happened on the Canadian 1983 flight. Let's talk about it together.

A Canadian plane suddenly ran out of gas at an altitude of 10 thousand meters

1983, that is, on the morning of July 23rd, 37 years ago, a Boeing 767-233 took off from Canada. When we first took off, everything was normal, and the 6 1 passengers on the plane were happy, talking and laughing, while several captains and co-pilots on the plane were relaxed, and no one knew what would happen next.

Because the day before takeoff, the plane inspector found that the liquid crystal fuel display of the plane was broken, but it was not a big problem. With a little repair, it can be displayed normally. Then, for the sake of safety, the inspector checked the fuel of the plane. Before taking off the next day, the procuratorate looked at the LCD fuel display again and found that it was indeed repaired. However, for safety reasons, he planned to install a new fuel display, but he never found a new one. At this time, the pilot has arrived.

Before take-off, the inspector specially told the captain that there was something wrong with the monitor, but the captain felt that as long as the fuel gauge was calculated and measured with a ruler, the problem should not be serious. Later, he deliberately added "enough" to the fuel quantity. Others didn't make any mistakes, but there was a fatal mistake, that is, the conversion unit was wrong. Initially, traditional aircraft used English units to calculate fuel quantity. The fuel consumption per liter is 1.77 lb, and the plane is new, so metric units are used. Calculated in metric units, the fuel consumption per liter is only 0.8 kg. At that time, the crew added 1 1430 kilograms of oil to the plane, so the crew thought it had reached 20400 kilograms and took off with confidence, but in fact, the plane.

It is precisely because of the error of the calculation unit that the plane suddenly ran out of fuel during the flight. Not long after, the engines of the plane turned off one after another, the equipment on the plane went on strike without fuel support, and the plane began to descend. When many people think that the plane must die,

The captain stepped forward: I will!

The co-pilot suddenly remembered that there was an abandoned air base nearby, where the plane could land temporarily, but who would have thought that the runway of this air base had been changed into a racing runway, and a racing competition was still being held. The runway was crowded with people, which made many people very helpless and desperate. Then the captain suddenly said, I'll come! Then he calmly began to operate the plane, and with years of accumulated experience, he was ready to let the plane "glide".

When the plane entered the runway, the captain lowered the main landing gear. At the moment the plane landed, the tire on the main landing gear burst and the nose fell to the ground again. Then the captain slammed on the brakes and the plane burst two tires. At this time, the plane was only 300 meters away from the crowd. The captain aimed at the plane and ran to the iron railing next to it, and finally stopped in front of the audience.

Thanks to a series of magical operations by the captain, the plane finally stopped safely at the racetrack, and all 69 people on board landed safely. Only 10 people were slightly injured, and the spectators watching the car race on the ground were not injured at all. It is unlucky for the plane to encounter such a situation. The plane is very lucky to have such a captain. Many netizens said that this is really a lucky thing.

After the accident, according to the calculation, under the operation of the captain, the plane taxied for 17 minutes, which often directly broke the world record at that time, but I am afraid that few people want to try to break such a world record. After all, there is nothing to do this time, and no one wants to bet his own life and the lives of so many people on the plane. Speaking of which, the captain doesn't know if the accident can minimize the loss. label

Later, this incident was made into a disaster documentary called "Air crash", in order to record all kinds of aircraft accidents, make people pay more attention to aircraft safety and reduce the occurrence of aircraft accidents. In addition, this accident also tells us that we should do everything seriously and not be careless at all, otherwise our lives may be in danger. What do you think of this matter?
