The pilot explained that the first two hydraulic systems failed, and we were using a backup system to operate a backup system. He said we would turn to Honolulu because the runway there is longer. Obviously, the idea at that time was that if the final hydraulic system failed, we basically didn't have any important control or braking ability when landing, and we just wanted to slide straight and stop slowly from the landing speed of about 150 mph.
The flight attendant told us to keep quiet and not to leave our seats. When approaching the fire slave Lulu, they told us to keep a posture, put our hands behind our heads and put our heads on our thighs. Everyone is shouting: "Prepare for impact!" Support the impact! Over and over again.
I only remember saying this to the 9-year-old child next door, who was sitting next to his mother. Dad sits in the first class. After the first hydraulic system failure, he called on me politely, but he didn't seem to try to exchange places with me.
The child is obviously in pain and worried. I just started flying, but I still have a strong fear of flying. I told him that I am an engineer, and there are many safety devices in aircraft and other equipment. We don't have to worry. It is common for workers to overreact when their safety is threatened, just because they are too cautious.
The child is much calmer.
The plane landed smoothly, surrounded by emergency vehicles, and my mother turned to me and thanked me. She said I could go to her vacation home in Maui at any time. Extra information: After staying in Honolulu, Lu Lu badminton for one night, United arranged for us to fly back to our original destination the next day. Everything was fine until the hatch was closed. The pilot said that the plane was the same as the day before, but "it should be all right now and can take off." That's not true.
We started taxiing, and a warning similar to checking the engine appeared on the pilot's console. We went back to the boarding gate and left in two hours. Is this fixed? They shut down the plane completely, and when they restarted, the warning disappeared.
The passengers cheered when we boarded the plane, and they cheered again when we landed.
We got a ticket voucher of $400 (our flight is about $900). This can't be used-only certain dates are allowed, there are many restrictions, and it will expire in less than one year.
