Synopsis

The crew of Sichuan Airlines Flight 3U8633 was on a flight when they encountered an extremely rare and dangerous situation in which the cockpit windscreen burst off and the cockpit released pressure at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

With very few instruments still in working order, the crew members struggled to fly manually.

When the cockpit pressure release occurred, the crew immediately implemented the pressure release disposal procedure, instructed passengers to use oxygen masks, and shouted out in a well-trained manner, "Please trust us and believe that we have the confidence and ability to lead everyone to a safe landing."

The correct handling by the heroic crew in a crisis of life ensured the safety of all the people on board and created a miracle in the history of the world's civil aviation.
