Airliner,as Oxygen Mask Dropped
It started when the windshield on the right
side of the passenger plane's cockpit
suddenly blew out."We were eating.All of
a sudden,we heard a bang,then the plane
began to go down.The duration of the
drop was about 4 to 5 seconds.It was
chaos;all the lights went out.”
The Airbus A319 was 80 minutes into
flight and was flying at an altitude of
30,000 feet when the windshield shattered
and the co-pilot was sucked halfway out
of the plane,despite wearing a seat belt.
The pilot and flight crew were praised for
the safe emergency landing in Southem
China.The co-pilot surprisingly suffered
only scratches and a sprained wrist and no
passengers were hurt,according to local
media.
