Chapter 180: Chapter 145: Turning the Impossible into Possible?
Translator: 549690339
Phil shouted, “Seckley’s plane doesn’t have TAWS (Terrain Awareness Warning System)! Call the tower! Call the tower! Immediately notify KC3971 to increase altitude! Immediately notify KC3971 to increase altitude and reduce speed! Call the tower!”
Phil hugged his head in despair.
No pilot wants to witness an air disaster first-hand.
Even with strangers, every pilot hopes for everyone’s safety.
This feeling of watching a tragedy about to happen but being powerless was so painful and frustrating.
He really wanted to save KC3971, but he couldn’t.
He couldn’t get any closer, or there would be four more names on the death list.
And he’d become the most ridiculous helicopter pilot to die in aviation history.
At this time, his assistant beside him poked his waist and looked back pale at what was happening behind them.
Only then did Phil look back.
The fierce wind hit him in the face, chilling him from head to toe, and nearly blew off his top.
Mr. Clark was gone!
This was on a helicopter!
Where the hell was that man?
Because Harrison Clark had suddenly opened the cabin door, the helicopter began to rock slightly.
Phil struggled to control the helicopter to regain balance while desperately looking down.
Then…
He saw a scene he’d never forget for the rest of his life.
A blue and white paraglider was flying directly towards KC3971 from below his helicopter.
Anyone could guess who was under the paraglider.
It was the super-rich second-generation United Kingdom guy who didn’t even have a paraglider license and was completely unreasonable.
Phil screamed in despair again, “What are you trying to do? Are you insane? Or am I insane?”
No one could answer his question.
Harrison Clark’s speed was not slow, and the paraglider gradually moved away in the air.
At this moment, his face was completely deformed by the strong wind blowing on him, wearing goggles.
He indeed didn’t have a paraglider license, but it didn’t stop him from operating perfectly.
Because when he used the Azure Dragon Armor and Summit Armor, he had used gliding skills countless times.
Maybe he was the world’s longest paraglider athlete.
Of course, he was also the most skilled and masterful.
Phil’s assistant said blankly, “Is he trying to save the people on KC3971?”
Phil gritted his teeth tightly, “Impossible, absolutely impossible. That’s too unrealistic. He’s going to die, and I’ll have my license revoked and go to jail. It’s over, everything’s done.”
Ahead, Harrison Clark’s paraglider swiftly and gracefully crossed over the first mountain range.
The wind howled.
Hunting eagles soared across the sky.
Harrison Clark’s eyes were focused, like the gaze of a hunting eagle.
Seckley seemed to have received a warning from the tower and began to raise the helicopter’s nose, trying to gain altitude.
But it was difficult. The helicopter couldn’t adjust its nose completely upward like a fighter jet, or it would stall and crash.
So after failing to try, he made the second move, attempting a 180-degree turn.
KC3971 gradually changed direction and started to move sideways.
However, when he tried to gain altitude earlier, he gave too much power, and his current speed was still too fast, exceeding 280 kilometers per hour.
The closer he was to the cliff, the thicker the fog.
The fog around KC3971 now was too dense, and without TAWS, his visibility towards the ground was less than 200 meters.
Seckley didn’t know that he was getting closer and closer to the slope of the cliff.
When he could finally see the cliff with his naked eyes, death was certain.
On the other side, Phil finally mustered the courage to get closer to this side and raise the altitude, looking down diagonally at the situation from above.
Looking down from above, the fog was much better, and he could see everything clearly.
KC3971 was already out of control.
The blue and white paraglider was still advancing straight, getting closer and closer.
The minds of the three people in Phil’s helicopter were almost blank.
They only knew one fact.
This passenger named Harrison Clark was really going to use a paraglider to save people from the doomed helicopter!
At this moment, Harrison Clark was not relaxed. He almost deformed the horizontal bar of his paraglider with his clenched hands.
He knew how difficult his own operation was.
It was a malfunctioning helicopter.
He only had one paraglider.
Even the slightest deviation in the angle of entry would result in him being chopped into pieces by the rotor.He had a lot to judge.
The direction of KC3971 and its possible changes.
He also had to precisely control his own position, with no room for error.
Whoosh…
He got close!
Harrison Clark first swooped down to the diagonal position of KC3971.
Then, he suddenly shifted his weight, making the wings of the glider form a 45-degree angle with the parallel airflow!
The glider began to climb.
Then he controlled his weight again, moving forward.
Retract the wings!
The glider hung like a long spear on his back.
Harrison Clark slanted and descended, stepping on the pedal of KC3971 and grabbing the helicopter’s door with his right hand!
Phil, who had been watching the whole process in the air, had a blank mind, “What… what is this?”
The assistant murmured: “He used your glider, Phil, to perform a Cobra maneuver?”
“WTF!”
“How is that even possible!”
“But that’s the truth.”
Whoo!
Harrison Clark opened the door of KC3971.
There were eight seconds left until the helicopter crashed into the mountain.
Harrison Clark leaned in.
Luckily, Rainer was sitting on the outermost side of the door Harrison opened.
Harrison’s right hand gripped the doorframe, as his body exerted all its strength to reach in.
There were six seconds left until the crash.
Harrison Clark undid Rainer’s safety belt buckle.
The other people on board were struggling, but it was no use.
It was all happening too fast.
Harrison Clark grabbed Rainer’s left arm with his left hand, pulling him out forcefully.
There were three seconds left until the crash.
Harrison Clark leaped out like a cannonball with a powerful kick.
He had truly given it his all.
The helicopter pedal was completely deformed.
With the help of that counteraction, KC3971 mysteriously had its center of gravity slightly adjusted and was no longer completely out of control.
He and Rainer successfully avoided the spinning rotor blade.
Mid-air, Harrison Clark subtly used his left hand to raise Rainer and overlap with himself. His right hand extended the strap around his waist to tie both of them together.
The two of them spun and continued to fall diagonally towards the mountainside.
But Harrison Clark spread the wings with a whoosh.
After rotating in the air again, the glider carrying two people began to glide along the slope of the mountainside.
The speed was still fast, and they were getting closer and closer to the mountainside.
Rainer anxiously stared ahead.
The mountainside was getting closer, the rocks in front of them seemed as if they would crash into Rainer’s nose.
But strangely enough, Rainer never screamed or struggled unnecessarily, which might have disturbed Harrison Clark’s movements.
At that moment, Harrison Clark adjusted his weight again, letting his feet touch the ground first. With a forceful kick, he bounced the two of them slightly up.
The glider’s flight finally returned to stability, moving away from the mountainside.
Ahead was a deep valley.
At the end of the valley was an endless grassland.
They were safe.
Only then did Rainer have time to look back.
KC3971 had already diagonally crashed into the mountainside.
The rotor blades shattered to pieces.
The fuselage collided with the mountainside, spinning and scattering debris everywhere.
Fortunately, due to that previous adjustment of the angle, KC3971 did not crash head-on, but had a diagonal angle instead. No sparks were produced near the fuel tank, and no explosion occurred.
Rainer, with trembling hands, took out his phone from his pocket and dialed 911 against the strong wind.
“Casades County, latitude and longitude… An air crash just happened, number of casualties… unknown..”
