The fog outside the window too. Taxiing to the runway when the aircraft is the starting point, waiting for a vacant after the former, but also to take off when the rains suddenly a thick fog. Suddenly, out of the window not see anything, and only a vast expanse of whiteness, like a thick Man Zhang, aircraft can no longer move forward half a step, but to standstill.
Yesterday received a call, saying it was urgent business tomorrow, we must promptly return to Jinan. However, today things have not yet finished their day and can not go ahead, so he wanted this perfect plan, nothing would delay. Busy day for a day in the evening when the hastily rushed to the airport, simply ate a little rice, then board the aircraft. She was about to take off her surprise, God does not eat that, then no matter what you have on your leg lift to go when reaching pulling your feet. This is what really makes people not enough to create misunderstandings.
At this time, from the overhead speakers came over the captain's voice. He was quite polite to say that, because fog is too large to reach the 500 meters off the visibility of requirements, requirements for aircraft in-situ control tower on standby, waiting for take-off fog dispersed. He also said that I am sorry, please understand.
What's the way ah, can only be quiet and wait. Taishou take a look at the table, it was 7:30 p.m.. Sitting on the seat, think of the captain, then he obviously is self-consolation. Everyone knows that the morning as the sun rose, the fog tends to slowly dispersed, while at night the temperature dropped as the fog will become ever stronger. In addition to individual cases, it is generally not easily disperse the fog at night, only more Pushuo from fans. Moreover, it is winter in Beijing, one can then match the fog in London.
About a hour, the captain also informed that too much has been unable to take off because of fog, and had to cancel the flights. However, too much fog outside just as confused as road, air can not return to the apron, had to wait for cars to boot. Said, because the aircraft have to queue up more and more guests are asked to be patient.
Listening to radio, think what the aircraft should take-off. Has reached the beginning of the runway, and just go full steam ahead, you can fly up, then we are not afraid of the fog. Recall does not fly Ye Hao, which is more secure. Take a look around, as if the people around are very familiar with the situation, turned a blind eye, no one questioned the passengers and crew, or irritated, the cabin quiet and Ning-xiang. Become soft lighting up, speakers dream of Sake Si rains inside tube minor to dress up the cabin was a bit warm. At this point, air hostesses seemed gentle up and be more thoughtful than usual, passengers softly asked them about the guests seemed somewhat comfortable, diligent manner brought tea, coffee and other drinks, as if caused by the hub to go because of fog depression. The plane people are patiently waiting, in the fan hum, quietly sitting, some reads the newspaper, and some whispered conversation. We do not know when the fog will be dispersed, do not know when to return to the airport.
A search of a plane can browse all the newspapers and magazines, and talk will be days, while others are tired, take a look at watches, the pointer already points to 11 points of the. By this time have been spent on the plane full 4 hours of. I thought, if the take-off if the aircraft can already fly to China in any one place, not to say that a nearby Jinan. From Beijing to Jinan, less than 500 km, if the road smoothly, by car with four to five hours is enough. Trains are also convenient, but for tomorrow, there is urgent business, then go by train at night. In that case, would not retain any of the activities tomorrow morning, but now, we are still a plane, in-situ were not touched.
In the light inside Qingqing sat slightly Qingchou, reluctant to say a word, think of something, can not be said what the weather or some other, or killing time with thoughts Bar.
Fog in Beijing all these years some well-known, particularly in the winter fog, the people are victims of hard going. Others have only heard that because of heavy fog delayed trip, personal experience was the first time. I remember meeting two years ago to Chengdu, but also this season, to leave, of that two days also played a fog all day long rally to the cause. That fog so large that, even during the day walking in the street can not see the roadside green belt, let alone able to find door. That is also in a hurry to return as soon as possible Jinan, first Beijing and then turn for the better. However, the next several days due to heavy fog in Chengdu, flights were canceled, the backlog of passengers too much, too many people wanted to go. It was only a hazy sky can be seen, the airport has not operated in accordance with the normal order, who can step in to run pre-empt the procedures, who will be able to check-in. We rushed to the airport, it would happen to have a central head eager to return to Beijing, there are planes airliner had just fallen, it is immediately replaced by the authorities flights flying to Beijing. Through these efforts, we have finally run its check-in, boarded the plane and left Chengdu. Although the days of fog is also great that it can not, as the same has been locked in a track starting point.
Guided vehicle arrived. Aircraft began to be guided to the apron slip to go on the road to stop-go, like a snail in general. Guide the cars in front of the ground to see unclear fear of stagnation break something in the mist of aircraft had to slowly move forward. By 11:30 or so, the aircraft finally returned to the parking bays. Passengers in succession from the plane down on the waiting in a nearby car.
As the plane prior and contact Mr. Bo well, sliding back to the time when the aircraft he had waiting there. He stopped in a car to send customers to those of us who plug up and returned to the terminal.
He was already a good resting place links on the garden in the nearby airport. Drive to go on the road, it is unclear to see things, what role can not afford anti-fog seemed to open to open all the lights, we can only see the front of the vehicle 12 meters distance. At every intersection, the driver must weigh a long time, relying on memory to determine how to go. Fog too, there is no way forward, but to some people down, shake down the car windows are also in front of people led the way, shouted forward, left or right. By so doing, the original is very familiar with the road are also fans, the car did not know where to go. Mr. Bo went to a roadside hotel ask the road, inquire about how far the distance. Is one such, in the confusion among the white hard trial and error to move forward, close to 1:30, when, finally came to the hotel.
Fog does not seem all that brings us trouble, but also help some people. The hotel flourished because of fog, all the rooms are filled with people. Total table to see the house occupied by young men seem to some difficulties, for fear come the guests was unable to receive accommodation, affecting the reputation of the hotel. As we have previously agreed, and good hotel, the room naturally guaranteed, stay there will not be any problem. When the stay there later, those who returned from abroad, jet lag has not been fully reversed people, excited, do not feel trapped, but felt that some hungry. Yes ah, before boarding the flight at the airport terminal where 10 minutes have been eaten by those dinner, stand up all the way to run, it is inevitable that some hunger.
Went to restaurants a question, you can also supply more rice, then hurriedly went down luggage. Restaurant busy 13 o'clock, when off-duty, and only because the hotel boss tomorrow to attend the meeting, so there are two attendants are still facing Taiwan. To ask what food, can the next point of noodles, the waitress said that I can, but need to wait for a while. Since there is supply, and later on may also wish to, we would sit talking. After a trying to get to, do not meet up article, they go to reminders. It turned out that there is no noodles, and even the noodles have gone, the chef was there and noodle. We think, if so, when the noodles came, I am afraid that the sky is already bright. Hurriedly asked whether or not instant noodles, said no. To see such a situation, fear of too much time delay, affecting the rest, had to change to Geda Tang, warm to eat.
Back to the room, undressed lie down, always feel that this is more inexplicable fog, I wonder if it is God or fate. If that, God willing, there are three of us just returned from Brazil came back at double speed day and night, jet lag has not yet reversed, exhausted, should take a break; say it is fate, that is, to know new friends. With us in the mist break free, there are a handsome young man, surnamed Li, is Ericsson, as well as a quiet young woman, only that she called the Little Gu. After this breakthrough operation, we Bijiao Shu, and each other is no longer restrained, talked and laughed. Verify the suffering that was like let people close to the truth.
The next day together, it is already eight more. Observatory has forecast that the fog will be dispersed after 9:00, so last night safely sleep a feel. Getting up out of mist that still do not want aside the curtain a look, a lot of fog scattered, they can already see a good long time. Get together to discuss what, everyone says they want to hurry to the airport, catch a early flight. Although this delayed the activities of the morning, but can guarantee the public the afternoon as usual. Packing to, we immediately went to the restaurant and carelessly chops mouth to mouth meal in a hurry to go to the airport.
Ride away on the road, take a look at the outside of the proposed projects, could not resist a bit of joke. Because that would tightly next to the airport hotel, which is a few hundred meters distance. Only because of the new terminal-ups, repair a number of new roads, and the road to the old terminal building are intertwined, it is inevitable that some arbitrary eyes, needless to say, at night, that is, without a close look at road signs during the day, it will not successfully find the . Fog gave us a joke, it kept the plane of the eye, Mongolia to our eyes, in the outer eastern suburbs of Beijing to catch the night on the Micang.
Into the terminal, change boarding pass, security checks, to the boarding gate to wait for everything to start from scratch, people feel a little trance, just like the video a while back the same replay. At this time, the quantity of the hall is already overcrowded, Cao Cao noises, visitors are anxiously awaiting takeoff and landing aircraft. The processing time is actually quite smooth, and finally boarded the plane again 11:00. The starting point of the aircraft taxiing to the runway when the fog is still very strong, visibility is at 1000 meters or so, fortunately, is no longer that strange fog drifting.
