When can the emergency slide be opened?
4hw.org: Recently, a woman was on a passenger plane flying to the bottom of Beijing. Out of curiosity, she pressed the emergency exit, which caused the slide to pop up. It is reported that even if the air bag of the slide was not damaged, the airline also faced at least 100000 losses, and the woman has been detained. Let's see the details below!
At noon yesterday, a female passenger opened the emergency slide at the cabin door of a flight waiting to fly in the capital airport, which led to the cancellation of the flight. Police at the capital airport said the passenger was detained for moving the air facilities without permission for 12 days. According to the relevant person in charge of Xiamen Airlines, what was misplaced was the slide on the wing of B757 aircraft. Even if the air bag of the slide was not damaged, the lowest cost would be close to 100000 yuan. If the airbag is damaged and scrapped, the direct loss is estimated to be 450000 yuan. The serious case group No. 37 consulted aviation law experts and learned that according to relevant regulations, airlines have the right to claim against the passengers involved. In other words, in addition to detention, the passenger may be subject to high financial compensation from the airline.
Passengers are curious to open the emergency slide after hearing the warning
On the afternoon of June 12, according to the aviation self media, a flight of capital airport was delayed due to the emergency slide opened by passengers. The picture shows a silver gray slide extending to the ground on the left wing of a civil aircraft on the apron.
Later, the message was quickly forwarded, and a netizen revealed that the passenger wanted to try to open it under normal circumstances after hearing the steward remind him that he could only touch it in an emergency.
On June 13, the relevant person in charge of Xiamen Airlines, the company to which the flight belongs, confirmed this statement to the serious case team. According to its introduction, at about 11:30 on June 12, Xiamen Airlines flight mf8118 is going to fly to Xiamen at Beijing Capital International Airport. After passengers get on the plane, the steward introduces the safety instructions to the 48 rows of passengers at the emergency exit according to the cabin safety management regulations: 'please do not touch the emergency exit under normal circumstances'. After a 49 row female passenger near the window enters the seat, she directly reaches out to pull the handle of the emergency slide on the side. The steward immediately stops it loudly, but the emergency slide on the wing has been inflated and released. Later, the passenger was handed over to the public security organ.
According to the person in charge, the passenger said he was curious and wanted to try out what would happen if the non touch handle moved. After the incident, the flight was cancelled and 113 passengers on board were transferred to other flights in the afternoon in two batches.
On the afternoon of the 13th, agents learned from the police department of the capital airport that the passenger was detained 12 days for unauthorized movement of the air facilities.
Airlines lose or exceed 100000 yuan
The captain of a domestic airline told the agent that the emergency slide is the necessary safety equipment for the civil aviation aircraft. The device is used for the land evacuation and water surface evacuation of the people on board. Once misplaced, it will affect the flight safety. The airline also has strict requirements for the opening conditions.
'the slide is inflated and can be opened like a kayak to help passengers evacuate in dangerous situations. 'the slide is placed on the cabin door, like a bag, with a specific opening device, which can't be opened without permission under normal circumstances. The flight crew will specially remind the passengers to pay attention.
According to the Internet legend, according to statistics, the cost of a slide is about 100000 yuan, and the airline may ask the passenger to compensate for the economic loss. Therefore, the behavior of female passengers opening the slide without permission is nicknamed "the most expensive attempt" by netizens.
Today, Xiamen Airlines related person in charge disclosed to reporters that if the slide airbag is not damaged during the inflation process, the lowest cost of the slide airbag, gas cylinder and trigger switch repair should be close to 100000 yuan. If the airbag is damaged and scrapped, it will be replaced with a new one, with the total cost estimated to be 450000 yuan. At present, the direct and indirect losses caused by this incident are still under further evaluation.
