Zhang Zhenhai hijacked the plane and was paralyzedYear.
Zhang Zhenhai was born in 1953 in Sijiqing New Village, Congtai District, Handan City, Hebei Province. In order to subsidize the family, he would work in the cotton machine parts factory in the village during his spare time.
However, his greed led him to embezzle 4,000 yuan in October 1989, which was worth more than the current 400,000 yuan at the time. After being found, he was sent to the public security department.
However, considering that he did not cause actual losses and was a first-time offender, he was sincere, and decided to ask him to write a letter of guarantee and then release him on bail pending trial. However, he knew that his own theft in the village had been **, and it would be difficult to mix it up in the future.
So, he came up with the idea of going to South Korea to mix, because at that time, China and South Korea had not yet established diplomatic relations, and if he went to South Korea, he would not be sent back. In early December, he and his family bought three tickets from Beijing to Shanghai, and boarded flight CA981 on December 6.
When flying over Jinan, Zhang Zhenhai plucked up his courage, grabbed a flight attendant, and handed her a banknote that read: "Fly to Seoul immediately, or blow up the plane!" ”
The flight attendant was so frightened that she immediately told the purser and captain. At that time, China's civil aviation security system was not as developed as it is now, and it was impossible to determine whether Zhang Zhenhai had explosives or whether he had accomplices.
In the end, for the sake of safety, they decided to stabilize Zhang Zhenhai first and contact the ground at the same time.
After receiving the news, the ground commander instructed the crew to try their best to meet Zhang Zhenhai's requirements and ensure that he was emotionally stable. After waiting at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, Zhang Zhenhai will be arrested.
The captain and purser approached Zhang Zhenhai and whispered his request. Zhang Zhenhai said that as long as he was sent to Seoul, he would avoid harming anyone. The captain agreed to Zhang Zhenhai's request and asked him to sit down, not to act aggressively, and not to threaten other passengers.
However, Zhang Zhenhai did not know that the airline had called the police and investigated the information of his family. Security, medical and firefighting personnel have gathered at Shanghai's Hongqiao airport, ready to wait for the plane to land and make an arrest.
However, the ground command found that the weather was very good that day and the visibility was very high. He was worried that Zhang Zhenhai would find out about his plan and get out of control, which could lead to accidents, and the responsibility would be too great.
Therefore, the ground command asked the crew not to land in Shanghai, but, according to Zhang Zhenhai's request, to fly to Seoul. The plane was originally bound for Shanghai, but when approaching Shanghai, some passengers found that it had flown for more than 3 hours, but it was still a long way from Shanghai.
The flight attendant has been reassuring the passengers, insisting that the route is correct and that they will soon reach their destination. However, when the plane flew over Jeju Island in South Korea, although the airline had contacted *** door and had been negotiating with the South Korean side, South Korea resolutely refused to agree to let the plane land, and sent four fighter jets to expel the plane.
The crew had no choice but to fly to Japan, but when it was in Japanese airspace, the South Korean plane stopped the drive and returned to South Korea. Japan also refused to land, and the captain had to order the plane to circle around a desert island in Japan, wait for the fuel to run out, and then make an emergency landing at Fukuoka Airport in Japan.
An emergency landing is an international practice that no country can refuse, and Fukuoka Airport finally agreed to an emergency landing while preparing for rescue work on the ground.
The captain and staff, as well as several passengers, decided to arrest Zhang Zhenhai and his family as soon as the plane landed. The captain was from the Air Force and was responsible for arresting Zhang Zhenhai, a tall crew member was responsible for arresting Zhang Zhenhai's wife, and a public security passenger was responsible for arresting Zhang Zhenhai's son.
When the plane landed safely at Fukuoka Airport at 14:52 Japan time, a large number of security, firefighting, and medical personnel had already gathered at the airport, ready to respond to a possible ** incident.
After the plane came to a standstill, the captain walked up to Zhang Zhenhai and told him, "You can get off the plane, Seoul has arrived." Zhang Zhenhai believed that it was true, took his family and luggage, and followed the captain to the rear cabin door.
The stewardess opened the hatch and made a gesture of please. However, when Zhang Zhenhai found that there was no ladder to go down, he tried to question the captain, but saw the captain shouting: "Do it!" ”
and overthrew Zhang Zhenhai. At the same time, the crew and public security passengers also controlled Zhang Zhenhai's family. Zhang Zhenhai was pushed to the ground and almost fell out of the hatch. He quickly grabbed the side of the hatch and tried to stand up, but the captain immediately kicked it down.
Zhang Zhenhai felt a powerful force attacking, and the hatch was kicked out before he could catch it. His body arched and fell heavily on the runway, his spinal cord was directly broken, and his body was fractured in multiple places, and he lost consciousness instantly.
Then, Japanese security personnel quickly took Zhang Zhenhai away. The captain, fearing that there was a bomb on the plane, again ordered the pilot to taxi the plane for several hundred meters, away from the crowd. The captain and his team then conducted a detailed search of Zhang Zhenhai's family's luggage and every corner of the plane, but no bombs were found.
People breathed a sigh of relief and re-boarded the plane. On December 7, Zhang Zhenhai's wife and children were released and returned to Beijing on the plane because they were not involved in the hijacking.
After a period of procedure, they were released to go home. And Zhang Zhenhai was extradited back to China after **. However, due to a ruptured spinal cord and not being treated in time**, he was paralyzed in the lower half of his body and was confined to a stretcher or wheelchair.
Zhang Zhenhai was sentenced to 8 years for hijacking the plane, and although he did not carry the bomb, the panic and friction caused were still serious. Although he was convinced by the verdict, his life after serving his sentence was not satisfactory, not only was he unable to work, but he also needed to be cared for and fed and drunk in vain.
After he was released from prison, his family had left him, and life became difficult. He had to rely on state and community assistance for the rest of his life, deeply regretting his impulsiveness. However, it is too late to regret it, and it can only survive in the remaining years.
