Abstract: Abstract On May 12, 2008, a destructive disaster occurred in Sichuan. Our crew in Hong Kong departed for Sichuan on the same day. No one could guarantee any of the flights would land in Sichuan. Despite being told that aftershocks had been occurring, the airport was damaged, and the flight might not be able to depart, we boarded a flight to the northern part of Sichuan. Fortunately, we managed to arrive at Mianyang Airport in Sichuan on the night of May 13.
