Eastern Airlines MU5735 flight search and rescue is in full swing. At present, except for the wreckage and debris of the passenger plane, no missing persons on the plane have been found.
As the tragedy of China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 lost contact and fell over Wuzhou, Guangxi, occurred. According to media reports, a long queue was lined up at the designated destination of the flight Guangzhou Baiyun Airport . A passenger said that he had heard of the aviation accident and decided to refund the ticket and change it to the high-speed rail.
After a serious air crash, everyone paniced about the plane and it was understandable that they had a fear of flying. After all, life is only once for everyone, and no one wants to take risks with this life that only once. However, it must be said that civil aviation is indeed the most safe vehicle among all means of transportation.
Everyone may have noticed a detail. After the Eastern Airlines crash, since the Yichun air crash in 2010, China's civil aviation safety operation record for 4,227 days has been "cleared". You should know that according to data previously disclosed by the Civil Aviation Administration's Aviation Safety Office, as of February 19 this year, the continuous safe flight time of China's civil aviation transportation aviation exceeded 100 million hours, creating the best new safe development performance in the history of China's civil aviation, and also creating the best record of continuous safe flight in the history of the world's civil aviation. If
1 billion hours are converted to year, it is about 11415.5 years, which many people find incredible, but this is indeed a record set by the rapid development of China's civil aviation. Of course, with the crash of China Eastern Airlines, everything has now returned to zero, but civil aviation is always worthy of people's trust.
Previously, the 2021 commercial aviation safety indicator data released by International Air Transport Association showed that compared with the average of 2020 and the previous five years, the total accident rate per million flights was 1.01, which means that only one accident occurs for every 990,000 flights. The global total deadly risk index of aviation in 2021 is 0.23, which means that a passenger takes an average of one flight a day and it took 10078 to encounter a fatal accident.
Take us as an example. The last serious aviation accident occurred in the Yichun air crash on August 24, 2010. At that time, a regional passenger plane flying from Henan Airlines , which flew Harbin to Yichun , crashed in advance outside the field at 690 meters of the runway of Yichun Lindu Airport, and the passenger plane was cut into two parts. Some passengers were thrown out of the cabin when the accident occurred. The accident caused 42 people to die and 54 people to survive. Previously, the 2102-day flight safety record maintained by China Civil Aviation since China Eastern Airlines' "11.21 Baotou Air Crash " in 2004 ended.
In recent years, with the successive occurrence of several air crashes of Malaysia Airlines 370 in 2014, Indonesian Lion Airlines 610 in 2018 and Egypt Airlines 302 in 2019, especially flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport , as many as 154 of the 227 passengers on board were Chinese passengers, and their whereabouts are unknown so far, which has added some psychological burden to travel by airplane, and even flew to flights. In fact, in the past 20 years, global aviation safety has improved overall, so everyone can ride with confidence.
After this China Eastern Airlines accident, the screen circulating on social platforms showed that the Boeing 737 aircraft fell rapidly almost straight, and the flight trajectory was shown in more than 2 minutes, and the flight altitude dropped from 8869.68 meters to 1333.5 meters, which aroused everyone's attention and speculation. It must be said that these suspicious points are still to be investigated professionally, and the final cause of the accident needs to wait for the official investigation conclusion, and rely on the black box to solve the mystery.
It should be pointed out that one of the main safety concerns that still plague the aviation industry is the out-of-control accident. The so-called out-of-control accident refers to an irrecoverable deviation from the planned flight path. The specific reasons may be caused by mechanical failure, human operation or environmental interference. Among the 25 most severe aviation accidents in the five years from 2014 to 2018, more than 10 of these accidents were found. In these accidents, most of the people on board were difficult to survive.
There is a "Hain's Law" about flight safety in the aviation industry: Behind every serious accident, there must be 29 minor accidents, 300 attempted signs and 1,000 potential accident hazards.Now, China Eastern Airlines has announced the grounding of all Boeing 737-800 models. While praying for 132 people on board, it is also looking forward to the early cracking of the cause of the accident. Only by finding out the cause and eliminating hidden dangers is the most direct way to dispel passengers' desire to fly.
