The captains and crew are professional,responsible and brilliant.There are a couple of dangers occur during this flight,first of all,the windscreen is smashed in the flight deck when they fly to the altitude over 8000 meter.Which makes the co-pilot sucked outside and the oxygen is poor,it’s quiet dangerous,the captain try his best to control this situation and drive the plane stable.But the wind is so strong,which blow the door open and makes the pessengers scared and confused. They couldn’t believe what’s happening,they crying and arguing with the crew.Then they face a more serious problem,an enormous storm surround the plane and there is no way to go out.the captian makes a great decision to go through the storm.All of the people on land are worried about them,especially when the plane is unconnected.then the miracle happened,the plane fly out from the storm,but a high mountian stand at the front of them,the captain makes the plane climb to avoid crashing/hitting.Finally they get the space above chengdu.Since the plane is too heavy,the speed is too fast when it landing.Fortunately,they stop safely, all the passengers have a great gratitution to the captain and crew.there was an aircraft accident happened in 2014,the flight of MH370 from Jilongpo to Beijing was crushed into Yindu Ocean.And one of my teacher took that flight (to) get back to Beijing.Which made me very sad.live is weak,and we need to respect every live.
