1036 Free Lunch

With the increasing number of civil aircraft, there are more and more accidents, and this is the second accident that has occurred this month in the total number of civil aircraft in the world, but fortunately there has not been a major disaster such as a direct plane crash so far, so it has not had an impact on aircraft sales.

O'Connor and Beckland were on the plane, and both pilots were skilled pilots who had fought in World Wars, and they insisted on flying the plane back to the airport even when two engines had an accident.

The plane had not yet stopped, and the second engine on the right side also made a bang, this time the explosion was more violent, half of the wing was blown off, the plane lost its balance instantly, and the wing on the other side hit the ground, grazing the runway and sparkling appeared.

The ground staff at the airport were prepared, several fire trucks were chasing the runway to spray water to cool down the plane, and ambulances were chasing the plane ready to rescue the wounded, and there were already staff waiting at the end of the runway, all praying for the taxiing plane.

Thankfully, the two pilots were highly skilled, and the transport plane taxied about 150 meters down the runway to a stop at the end of the runway.

The scene is thrilling, if the plane rushes out of the runway, then there will most likely be a tumbling explosion, and the gods will not be able to save O'Connor and Beckland.

At this time, it also reflected the swiftness and efficiency of the airport staff, O'Connor and Beckland were still wrapped in blankets next to the plane and shivering without coming to their senses, and the airport had arranged for O'Connor and Beckland to continue on another plane to Nyasaland.

"No, I don't sit, and from now on, I won't fly again unless you kill me now—" Beckland was adamant, he didn't want to experience another aerial horror.

"Leo, trust me, it was just an accident, it doesn't happen very often." O'Connor tried his best to persuade him, and after getting used to the efficiency and convenience of airplanes, it was indeed difficult to endure the speed of the train.

"I'm sorry gentlemen, but the experience of the air for you this time was not so pleasant, luckily we all survived, but we can't accompany you on the rest of the journey, we have to write a report, and we have to be investigated, I wish you a happy journey ahead." The captain took the initiative to apologize, and regardless of whether the two of them were responsible or not, they had to cooperate with the airport and Nyasaland in the investigation.

Transport aircraft are still very primitive, Nyasaland Air has been improving transport aircraft, and every air accident actually represents a major hidden danger behind it, and as long as the problem continues to be solved, similar accidents will become less and less.

"It's okay Captain, I'm not sorry, on the contrary, we want to thank you, if it weren't for the superb skills of the two of you, we might all be dead now, if you need my cooperation to do something, please don't be polite, even if I'm in Los Angeles, I'll come over at any time." O'Connor kept thanking him, no one wanted to see an accident happen, and the two pilots were indeed admirable.

Although the co-pilot is a bit funny.

"Friend from the United States, are you okay? I'm sorry, I hope you don't take it to heart-" The captain apologized to Beckland, and took a silver-white model of the airplane from the co-pilot's hand: "This is for you, on behalf of my personal apologies, I hope you will not be afraid to fly because of this, this has always been a game of the brave, God bless you." ”

If he could, Beckland would really want to decline the gift.

However, the model of the plane handed over by the captain was really exquisite, and Beckland subconsciously took it, and was a little embarrassed: "O'Connor is right, we should thank you, thank you for your gift, I will never forget this day." ”

Indeed, it will not be forgotten that it was not until Bakeland got on the plane again that Bekeland realized that the plane was actually not so scary.

This time it was a passenger plane, and the cabin was full of 45 people, as well as two service personnel, and O'Connor and Beckland had to sit in the cockpit.

But this time Bekeland didn't have to sit in the suitcase, the stewardess specially added a chair to the cockpit for Bekeland, and also brought some snacks for Bekeland.

Nowadays, there is no alcohol on the plane, and there is no toilet on the plane, so it will be troublesome in case of internal emergency.

"Welcome to this flight, two decrepits, I heard that you just nearly dropped a plane out of the air—" The captain's welcome speech embarrassed Beckland.

O'Connor was also embarrassed, but the embarrassment didn't last long, and the captain followed with a smile and said, "Just kidding, don't be angry, what the hell happened just now?" William and I were startled, and when you landed, we were hovering in the air. ”

"We don't know, maybe we're declining—" O'Connor laughed to himself, and the captain and co-pilot laughed at the same time, and then the co-pilot handed over two empty Coca-Cola bottles with a smile on his face.

Coca-Cola –

Empty bottles –

O'Connor winked at the co-pilot, who looked back with a smile.

O'Connor looked at the bottle again and it dawned on him.

Hey, it's disgusting.

The plane took to the skies again without any incidents.

Beckland still had palpitations, but at this time his spirits were much better, probably because there were more people on the passenger plane, and Beckland felt more psychologically safe.

"Does this happen often?" Beckland wanted to talk to O'Connor and yelled.

"How could it be, it was just an accident." O'Connor is also roaring, in fact, the experience in the cockpit is really not as good as the cabin, the cabin of the passenger plane is specially soundproofed, although there is still noise, but the noise is much smaller than the cockpit.

"How long will it take us to get to L.A." Beckland's hand drew a cross on his body.

"Three hours!" O'Connor only thinks of God when he's in danger, and he's now enjoying the scenery outside the cockpit with his legs crossed.

The scenery is really good, Los Angeles Elementary School had a statistic a few years ago, the most popular profession for children is not civil servants, nor bank executives, but train drivers, the reason is that train drivers can enjoy the scenery along the way when driving trucks.

At that time, it was estimated that there was no pilot option, so piloting did not become the most popular profession for children.

From a purely scenic point of view, the pilot's perspective is better than that of the train driver.

When the plane flies at an altitude of thousands of meters, it sometimes passes through the clouds, the dreamlike clouds and mist seem to be within reach, the endless mountains pass under the belly of the plane, the square farms are like squares on a chessboard, and the houses are as small as matchboxes, which really feel like overlooking all living beings.

God's perspective!

Three hours flew by, and it was only half past twelve when I arrived in Los Angeles.

"If there were no accidents, we should have arrived in Los Angeles around eleven o'clock." O'Connor's face was a little unsightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Beckland, who was dragging his luggage, gasped, but luckily there was a taxi service outside the airport.

"I missed the free lunch at noon!" O'Connor had a strange angle, but it was a pity that Beckland didn't understand what O'Connor meant.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the United States.

Walking out of the airport, everything presented in front of Beckland made Beckland feel shocked.

In the past, Beckland thought that New York was the greatest city in the world, and now it seems that Los Angeles is not much worse than New York.

At least horse-drawn carriages can still be seen on the streets of New York sometimes, but there are no horse-drawn carriages on the streets of Los Angeles, and only the Mounted Police are eligible to ride horses in Los Angeles, and only on Cecil Rhodes Square and Sunset Boulevard.

Unlike the black Model T in New York, the cars on the streets of Los Angeles have a wider variety of colors and styles, such as warm red, quiet and restrained blue, elegant and stable gray, and black that only large and comfortable Lord cars use.

O'Connor flagged down a green taxi, and that's when Beckland noticed that only taxis seemed to be green.

So Beckland wondered that green in the West represents life and health, and has no other meaning.

O'Connor introduced Beckland to the special meaning of green in the Chinese community, which made Beckland even more puzzled.

White relations are indeed chaotic, even in the Puritan country of America.

The Puritans in the United States are actually just saying, and if you get to the bottom of it, it's as disgusting as the origin of Thanksgiving.

Taxis were speeding all the way, and Beckland was impressed by the smooth and wide roads, and even the roads in New York and downtown Manhattan were riddled with potholes and never maintained.

L.A. even the roads on the outskirts of the city are flat and wide enough to make Beckland feel wasteful.

Knowing that Bekeland learned that the cement in southern Africa was produced from Favart, Bekeland realized it later.

Compared to the United States, it seems that Nyasaland has cheaper human resources, although this is only for certain industries.

Since he missed the free lunch, O'Connor simply stayed at the Rhodesia Hotel when he sent Beckland to the Rhodesia Hotel.

When he checked into the hotel, Beckland still habitually wanted to pay, and O'Connor reminded Beckland that all his expenses were now covered by Roque's office.

All the overheads!

For a moment, the evil thought in Bakeland's heart flashed away.

But immediately Beckland calmed down, this "everything" must also have a limit, the cost of staying in a hotel Roque office can bear it, but the cost of shopping is estimated that Roque office will not care.

And if Roque has prejudices against Beckland because of these reasons, then it will lay a hidden danger for the next meeting with Roque.

Of course, it's okay to have a meal, and the buffet at the Rhodesia Hotel is still very famous, especially the fried whitebait, which is praised by everyone who has eaten it.

ps: Today's chapter is still very watery - I've been preparing a new book recently, and I read the information every day, and I feel like I've worked much harder than the third year of high school - alas, if I worked so hard back then, I wouldn't be at home every day now-
