Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Singapore Airlines jet loses power in a
storm
When you’re on-board a flight cruising at
12,000 meters above the ground, the worst thing you could imagine is the
engines go silent. Actually, passenger aircraft can fly and land only with one
of the engines. But what if both of the two engines stop in the air? That’s
what exactly happened to a flight from Singapore to Shanghai on May 23rd.
The airplane had descended approximately 4,000 meters before the crew
successfully rebooted the engines. None of the 180 passengers nor 12 crew
members was injured and it landed at its destination safely.
How many of the passengers noticed the silence?
What did they think of during the descend? What were they told by the captain?
What would you do if you were on-board?
Enjoy reading about this amazing incident.
