Part 4/8:
The initial turbulence in the first half of the flight is skillfully handled by Liu. However, as the cockpit turbulence escalates into chaos, the plane’s mechanical failures multiply. With a shattered windshield and a failing engine, the remaining passengers remain blissfully unaware of the urgency spiraling within the cockpit. Liu’s attempts to maintain control amidst interior chaos serve to heighten the stakes. The horror of Kai hanging perilously outside the plane exemplifies not just the physical peril, but also an emotional battle, with Liu fighting to save his co-pilot while simultaneously piloting the plane.
