In May 21st, Mr. Liu, the captain(机长) of the flight 3U8633, drove the plane to Lhasa from Chengdu as usual. There were about 187 passengers and 12 staffs on the plane.
After an hour's flying, a terrible thing happened. One of the windows in the flight deck (驾驶舱) was broken. A big jolt (颠簸) passed along the whole plane quickly. A lot of things dropped down on the floor. Everyone in the plane waspanickyand nervous. Some of them began to shout and cry.
Mr. Liu was scared, too. He knew the plane was in great danger, and he must do something to save all the passengers and the plane. First, he checked the equipment (设备) to make sure it could still work. Unfortunately, some of them was broken by the strong wind. So he had to control the plane by hands. Next he sent a special number 7700 to the airport to ask for help from the radio. Then he asked the stewardess (空姐) to calm the passengers down. At last, he and another three pilots tried their best to drive the plane back to the nearest airport.
Twenty-eight minutes later, the plane landed on the Shuangliu airport safely. All the passengers were saved. They said they were so unlucky to meet the terrible accident, but they were so lucky to meet a hero captain.
