The famous and famous "Zhu Weimin Putter" in the aviation industry that is as famous as the "Bonan Tie Rod", no nonsense, let's talk.
Singapore flag and SilkAir logo
On December 19, 1997, at Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, Indonesia, a plane was owned by Singapore SilkAir (Singapore The airline’s low-cost airline subsidiary)’s Boeing 737-300 (registration number 9V-TRF) was preparing to fly MI185 from Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta to Singapore Changi International Airport. 2 crew members, 5 crew members and 97 passengers. The flight captain was Singaporean Zhu Weimin (41 years old at the time, served in the Singapore Air Force and also participated in the aerobatic team, joined SilkAir in 1992 and has 7173.3 hours of flying experience), and the co-pilot was New Zealand Duncan. Ward.

15:37, the plane successfully took off from Soekarno Hatta International Airport, according to the air The control area indicated that it climbed to the set cruise altitude of 35,000 feet at 15:53. Then the crew turned on the autopilot, the safety warning lights in the cabin turned off, and the crew began to distribute snacks and drinks to the passengers. According to the plan, if all goes well, MI185 flight will arrive at Singapore Changi International Airport in 1 hour and 45 minutes.
Soon (about 16:00), the captain Zhu Weimin said to the co-pilot Duncan: "I'll go and make it easier," and then left the driver's seat.
A few minutes later, Zhu Weimin returned to the cockpit and took his place. Then he said to the co-pilot Duncan, "There seems to be a problem with the toilet door. Go and take a look." Duncan left his seat and left, driving at this time. Only the captain Zhu Weimin was left in the room. After Duncan left, Zhu Weimin locked the cockpit door. When Duncan returned, he couldn't open the cockpit door and was locked outside. No matter how he called, Zhu Weimin was indifferent.

At 16:12, the plane suddenly moved from the set altitude of 35,000 feet It dived quickly, and the speed of the fall quickly exceeded the speed of sound, which greatly exceeded the critical value that the body structure of the Boeing 737 aircraft can withstand. Therefore, the Boeing 737-300 aircraft of SilkAir MI185 flight 9V-TRF carried it during the dive. Captain Zhu Weimin, co-pilot Duncan, five unknown flight attendants and 97 passengers broke apart in the air. The body debris and human limbs were scattered in the waters of the Musi River Delta 50 kilometers north of Palembang, Sumatra, Indonesia. Due to the huge momentum, the debris and wreckage of the passenger plane spread over an area of nearly ten square kilometers. There were no survivors of 104 people in the whole plane. It took less than half a minute from the airplane to dive to disintegration.

After finding that MI185 flight disappeared from the radar screen, The Singapore Armed Forces immediately dispatched Fokker 50 patrol aircraft, C130 transport aircraft, and two Jaguar helicopters to join forces with Indonesian rescue forces to conduct search and rescue operations.
When the rescue team arrived at the place where the wreckage of the aircraft fell, what they saw was a corpse in one place. There was no one complete piece. Even the largest fragment of the aircraft was only 40 cm in size.Therefore, only 6 people were able to confirm the identity of the victims.

The specific cause of the SilkAir Flight 185 accident is still confusing, and a total of four forces have intervened in the investigation: Los Angeles private agencies, the United States The National Transport Safety Commission, the National Transport Safety Commission of Indonesia, and SilkAir itself have been in separate investigations for their own purposes.

Appendix 1: Air crash investigation progress
1997年
On December 20, the families of about 200 passengers rushed to Changi Airport to learn about the situation. Ma Baoshan, then Singapore’s Minister of Transport, and senior executives from Singapore Airlines Group, the parent company of SilkAir, also went to the airport to learn more.
On December 20, the families of the victims took two special planes arranged by SilkAir to Palembang, waiting for news from their relatives. The air force and navy of the two countries mobilized about 200 people to participate in the search and rescue operation. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (including Chinese passengers among the victims), SilkAir and relevant government agencies have set up a press center and a settlement center for the relatives of the victims in Changi Airport's T1\T2 terminal. SilkAir Media published the names and genders of all 104 passengers and crew/crew crew on MI185.
On December 21st, a 10-member task force composed of Chinese police and forensic doctors went to Palembang to assist in the identification of the victims. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and SilkAir arranged two ships to transport relatives to the crash site to mourn relatives who died in the crash and learn about the progress of the search.
On December 22, a team of experts from the United States to identify the victims, including forensic doctors, pathologists and dentists, arrived in Palembang to assist in identifying the victims from the broken limbs.
On the evening of December 23, it was announced that the exact location of a black box on the passenger plane had been confirmed and locked.
On December 24, the search operations were concentrated in five places on the bed of the Musi River. Through sonic scanners and metal detectors, searchers found quite a lot of fuselage wreckage there.
SilkAir again arranged a special plane to transport the second batch of 95 family members to Palembang. The family members took a boat to the place of the air crash to participate in the religious ceremony of transcending the dead.
On December 25, the personal identifications of 53 victims who could be confirmed were seized at the scene. Goh Chok Tong, then prime minister of Singapore, went to the crisis management center at Changi Airport to listen to the crisis management team reporting the latest progress of the search and rescue work.
On December 26, SilkAir announced the seat map of 97 passengers on MI185 flight.
On December 27th, divers salvaged the first flight recorder (black box) from the Musi River.
On December 28, the flight recorder was sent to the National Transportation Safety Board for inspection to investigate the cause of the crash.
On December 29th, China sent 4 aftercare consultants and 1 American consultant to Palembang to select the site for the mass cemetery for the victims of the air crash.
On December 30, the public memorial service will be held at the Kallang Indoor Stadium at 6 pmMore than 9,000 people attended. The then Acting President of Singapore Tan Shuqun and his wife, Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong, Cabinet Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and Deputy Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong attended the memorial service.
1998
On January 2nd, three trucks full of wreckage and the limbs of the victims were salvaged at the crash site of the Musi River.
On January 4, a dredger from Singapore fished out another black box (cockpit recorder) from the crash site of the Musi River.
On January 5, the forensic expert team believed that it was difficult to find a complete body. It was extremely difficult to identify the broken limbs and bones. The work of salvaging the bodies of the victims stopped. The salvage of the aircraft wreckage continued until January 14. As of January 14th, 55% of the aircraft wreckage was salvaged ashore.
On January 14, 104 coffins arrived in Palembang one after another for funerals.
On January 16, the air crash investigation team confirmed with teeth one of the passengers of MI185 flight: Susan, senior vice president of American Express, three days ago, increasing the number of identifiable victims’ remains to 6. Gu, she was also the last victim to be identified.
On January 17, the relatives of about 50 victims arrived in Palembang by a special plane arranged by SilkAir, and buried their relatives' clothes, coats, toys and other relics in the coffin and buried them together.
On January 19, the mass funeral of the victims was held at Palembang Garden Cemetery. A total of 1,500 people attended the funeral (including 500 relatives of the victims). On the same day, the recovered wreckage of the passenger plane was transported to a hangar in West Java to be reconstituted into a model to allow investigating experts to understand the cause of the crash of the passenger plane from another clue.
In August, the latest investigation report issued by the chairman of the investigation team, Professor Dinan, pointed out that the investigation results of the human team showed that there were only two pilots in the cockpit (Captain Zhu Weimin) And co-pilot Duncan). After studying the data of the damaged parts and the flight recorder, it was discovered that before the flight recorder stopped operating, someone might mobilize the horizontal tail, causing the passenger plane to plummet. Investigation revealed that Zhu Weimin owed S$3 million in debt due to gambling and stock speculation. And it just so happened that he had only insured himself for S$5 million the day before the crash. Therefore, the investigation team determined that Zhu Weimin was likely to collapse due to the economic pressure in his life, and then chose to commit suicide to relieve himself, and then the compensation would be able to pay off his debts and make his family life better. His colleagues said that Zhu Weimin's daily driving habits are quite radical, and he often tries to complete flying tasks faster than others. So the captain Zhu Weimin was considered by the US investigators to be the culprit in the crash, but SilkAir did not agree with this statement, but at this time no evidence was available to refute it. For a long time afterwards, "Zhu Weimin putt" has almost become synonymous with the crash of SilkAir MI185 flight Palembang.
MI185 flight commander Zhu Weimin
At the end of December 1998, SilkAir announced the compensation standard for the victims of MI185 flight. The compensation amount ranges from US$25,000 to US$75,000. However, most of the relatives of the victims were dissatisfied with the amount of compensation, worrying that after receiving the compensation, the whole thing would be over, and the truth would never be revealed. As a result, only five family members of the European and American passengers who died in the US accepted the compensation amount proposed by SilkAir and signed the compensation agreement.
On January 22, 1999, SilkAir increased the amount of compensation from the original USD 75,000 to USD 140,000. However, the relatives of the victims still did not accept it and chose to continue to wait for the results of the investigation.
On April 30, 1999, the relatives of the victims jointly sent a petition letter to Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. On behalf of Dr. Goh Chok Tong, the Deputy Minister of Government Affairs of the Ministry of Communications, he reiterated to the relatives of the flight MI185 of SilkAir that the government still spares no effort in tracing the truth and provides support to the Indonesian authorities in all aspects.
At the end of June 1999, the 65 families of the victims of the air crash in Silkan established the "Singan MI185 Family Association". Ensure that the investigation of the air crash continues until the cause of the crash is revealed and made public.
Attachment 2: PlayZhu Weimin may be cleared of the crime if the emotion is reversed.
Six years after the air crash, a lawyer in Los Angeles, USA, who has dealt with many air crash cases, Watrick re-analyzed the black box, and he found that the black box of Flight 185 often closed automatically. It seems The claim that the captain of Flight 185 Zhu Weimin deliberately shut down the black box is not valid, and the claim that the captain committed suicide is also unreasonable. If someone did not deliberately crash the aircraft, then it is only suspected of a mechanical failure. The record of this aircraft really makes people suspect that there is indeed a problem with the power control module of the rudder system. His investigation also found that the plane crashed Boeing 737-300 passenger jet was only 10 months old, but the black box of the original plane was replaced by an old black box by SilkAir. The black box had 60 parameters in the 25 hours before the crash. Nearly 4,000 seconds are blank, and one pause can reach 11 minutes.
Waterlake’s investigation team re-analyzed the cockpit call recorder. Their interaction with the flight attendants was also normal, proving that the calls between the pilot and the co-pilot were normal. What Zhu Weimin finally said to his wife Came to the airport to pick me up at 4 pm. Waterlake thought that if he wanted to commit suicide, why didn't he commit suicide in Qicheng? Why did he ask his wife to pick him up? From the interaction of the people on board, the flight was normal in all aspects. The police also re-investigated Zhu Weimin's economic situation and found that although he lost US$1.2 million in investing in stocks, he had already sold two properties to repay his debts and made a profit of nearly US$350,000. According to the legend, he bought life insurance worth millions of dollars, which was his guarantee for the loan for the new house, and there was no reason why Zhu Weimin committed suicide.
In order to find the cause of the flight crash of Flight 185, Waterlake invited Sommer and Son, experts in the American aviation industry. Sommer and his son were once commissioned as experts to investigate the crashes of United Airlines Flight 585 and US Airways Flight 437. They compared the crashes of the three planes in extremely similar ways. They confirmed that SilkAir Flight 185 was also due to the excessive rudder swing. As a result, the fuselage rolled over and then fell. Since the 737 passenger aircraft has a rudder failure record, the pilot of the 737 passenger aircraft was notified of the rudder problem during the training, and the aircraft manual was also marked with instructions on how to deal with the rudder out of control problem.
Captain Zhu Weimin and co-pilot Don Ken Ward have both received this special training, but it was in a simulated state, so it is not the case in actual operation. In actual navigation, there is no warning indication in this state, and the pilot does not know where the problem is when a roll occurs. Parker Hannifin, the manufacturer of the rudder power module unit, was also ordered to assist the National Transportation Safety Board in identifying the wreckage found after the Flight 185 crash. The team spent three weeks in the 20-foot-deep river bottom mud. The rudder power module assembly was found, but the personnel of Parker Hannifin Company did not undergo a serious inspection. After a brief look, they said there was no problem, and then returned the assembly to the investigation team. If the investigation team of
wants to determine whether there is a problem with the rudder power module group, they must re-identify, but the investigator who was ordered to look for this part in Indonesia found that all the wreckage of Silkan Flight 185 had been destroyed, and the rest Just a bunch of files. Just as investigators regretted helplessness, the god of destiny reached out. The only evidence of Flight 185 kept in the safe of the Indonesian National Transportation Safety Commission turned out to be the rudder power module group servo valve they wanted. Incredible!
Servo valve is a key component of the rudder power module group. It can push the entire rudder surface of the Boeing 737 jet by moving 45 thousandths of an inch to one side. Walterwater’s investigation team found that the servo valve of Flight 185 had a bad record. They found relevant documents proving that the valve had failed a certain inspection, but Parker Hannifin claimed that the valve had no problem.
Walter Creek’s investigation team sent the servo valve to a special laboratory in Florida, USA for inspection. The laboratory staff discovered the flaws on the servo valve through an electron microscope. American aviation experts proved these tiny Defects can affect the fate of a 50-ton aircraft. The Walterwater investigation team believes they have found a series of evidence that the servo valve caused the crash.
In July 2004, the Los Angeles Supreme Court ruled that Parker Hannifin Company lost the lawsuit, and the jury awarded three family members nearlyForty-four million U.S. dollars in damages. It took the jury 6 weeks to listen to the report of the Waterreck investigation team and the statement of Parker Hannifin. The two sides produced a large amount of evidence. The jury targeted 187 cases. Judgments were made on problems, including defective servo valves, and all judgments were in favor of the plaintiff. The Federal Aviation Administration of the United States ordered all thousands of 737 airliners to eliminate the original rudder control components and replace them with new devices by 2008.
But even if Zhu Weimin did not deliberately push the lever, his act of opening the co-pilot and locking the cockpit door still cannot give a reasonable explanation. Therefore, all the suspicions on him still cannot be eliminated.
Attachment 3: The story of JJ Lin and the "old people" on SilkAir Flight 185
worthy It is worth mentioning that a female friend of Singaporean singer Lin Junjie named XU CHUE FERN (transliteration should be "Xu Jue Fen") is also on the list of victims of MI185 flight. It is reported that the girl once confessed to him and was turned down, not as a lover but still a friend, and the other party also helped him lead the line and met his first girlfriend. In 1997, she boarded the MI185 flight. The plane exploded and crashed in the air. 97 passengers were still alive. JJ Lin read the news and learned the bad news. He especially checked the list of victims released by SilkAir, and saw the girl's name. Later, when the relatives of the girl were sorting out her belongings, they also found a photo of JJ Lin she treasured. All of this made JJ Lin, who was only 16 years old, unacceptable for a while: "I was too young at the time and I didn’t know how to express my feelings. I dare not face it." In March 2013, JJ Lin added this memory he never mentioned in the MV of one of his new songs "Cultivating Love" to commemorate the girl who kept him in his heart.
"Cultivating Love" lyrics
Why should we be disappointed
Hidden tears to the heart
The past will not lie, don’t be embarrassed with it
We don’t need this
我想
Practicing the sadness of love
Learn to let go of the previous longing
How difficult is our faith to forget
Appreciating the confusion of close distance
Who says that the sun will find the moon
Others have the love we can’t imitate
cultivating love’s sorrows and joys
Our hard work is not easy
Happy refining into tears is a kind of brave
Fantasy a few years ago, forgive a few years later
to raise a body injury for a face
Don’t talk about missing me, I will not be able to stand this
Remember it is really arrogant
路灯Light up the pain
How many times the lover has watched the moon together
How many times has it been seen in the sky and forgotten
How many heartbeats
smile and say love makes people crazy
crying Saying love makes people nervous
If you can't forget that person, you will surrender
The sadness of practicing love
Learn to let go of the previous longing
How difficult is it to forget our beliefs
Long distance Appreciation of the confusion of the close range
Who said the sun will find the moon
Others have love
We can’t imitate
cultivating love’s joys and sorrows
Our efforts are not simple
Happy refining into tears
is a kind of bravery
A fantasy a few years ago, forgiveness a few years later
To raise a body injury for a face
Don’t talk about missing me
I can’t stand this
