"What happened?"
It''s not just Murphy, it''s a common question of many passengers on the plane. As the incident just happened, Kara Firth only heard that someone had occupied the runway of London City Airport. It''s not clear what happened.
Murphy wanted to see what happened, but because of the angle of the plane, the window on his side could only see the terminal. When he asked people on the other side, he was confused.
More than 20 minutes later, the flight was still not ready to take off. An older stewardess, who seemed to be a purser, came to the first class instead and made a simple explanation to the passengers here. At the same time, she also apologized.
"I''m very sorry that this flight will be delayed."
No matter whether it''s their own reason or not, the purser''s attitude is very good. "The runway of the airport has been occupied by some protestors in an organized way. At present, there is a confrontation with the police. We can''t take off in a short time..."
There was an uproar in the first class.
"We have reported the situation to the company, and the American Federation will provide you with the next free ride." The purser is calm and calm, "if the stay time is too long, Allianz will also provide you with free accommodation..."
It''s hard to say that the attitude and service of the American alliance are not as good as the reality. Murphy and Kara Firth look at each other, ask the assistant to inform the people in the business class, and then take the lead to get off the plane.
Now that there has been a protest against the occupation of the runway and there has been a confrontation with the police, I am afraid it will not be solved for a while.
Back inside the terminal, Murphy found that the situation was more serious than he wanted. The whole London City Airport had been forced to close, all kinds of flights were cancelled, and thousands of passengers were stranded in the terminal.
Through the glass window of the terminal building, he could see a lot of people gathered on the runway of the airport. Because it was too far away, he couldn''t see clearly.
"It looks like," said Carla Firth, shaking her head, "I can''t leave for a short time."
Murphy nodded. "I''ll call Gail and tell her not to pick us up at the airport."
He took out his cell phone, dialed Gail gado''s number and simply said a few words to reassure Gail gado. Then he hung up and asked Carla Firth, "shall we go back first or continue to wait?"
The negotiation has been completed, and there is nothing urgent for them. Carla Firth said to her assistant, and then to Murphy, "let''s go back to the hotel first, and leave tomorrow."
"Well." Murphy nodded. "It''s not the way to wait here. Go back first."
After returning to the hotel, Murphy continued to pay attention to the airport incident, occupied the runway of the airport and temporarily closed the airport. It was no small matter in any country, and the British side could not block the news even if the incident was so big.
Sure enough, the live broadcast cars of BBC and Sky TV have already passed by. In the evening, they can understand the whole story of the occupation. Murphy and Kara Firth look very strange when they watch the reports on TV. If they find a word from the other side of the Pacific to describe it, they can only be confused
It is no exaggeration to say that Murphy and Kara Firth are extremely determined people. Even if the crowd occupying the airport runway is the Windsor family led by Elizabeth II, they will not be so surprised. However, this fact is beyond imagination and is too simple for normal human beings to understand.
In any way, they are both normal human beings, but the people who occupied the airport can''t be said to be normal human beings.
The protest lasted nearly ten hours, long enough for fleet street and TV stations to understand the cause and effect of the incident.
The crowd who occupied the runway came from the British branch of black life is life.
This is an organization dedicated to promoting the rights and interests of black people. The slogan "black people''s life is also life" originated from the continuous incidents of police shooting black people in the United States. It aims to fight against racial discrimination and emphasize the equal rights of black people.
There is nothing wrong with fighting for equal rights. Even the extreme way of occupying the airport is understandable. The problem is that their reasons are too strong.
Why did a black rights group protest at London airport? Because their logical slogan today is: "global warming, especially racial discrimination!"
With this slogan, a group of black uncles from "black people''s lives are also lives" drive rubber boats through the unguarded Thames River, rush into the city airport and appear on the runway.
They set up tripods on the runway and locked themselves up, claiming to "protest against the violation of black rights at London City Airport!"
But what does global warming have to do with racism? How can the airport recruit them and provoke them? In their official statement, they gave the reason: the airport has caused the climate crisis, and the black people are the biggest victims of the climate crisis, so the global warming climate crisis is a crisis of racial discrimination!
In a word: climate warming is racism!Seeing this reason and logic, Murphy, like all normal people, has a breakdown in his heart.
Especially seeing the interview picture of the leading black uncle on Sky TV, Murphy just felt that his head was not enough.
"The average annual salary of passengers at London City Airport is 136000 pounds, and 63% of them work in business and finance. This airport is set up for the rich! At the same time, 40% of the population in Newham, where the airport is located, earn less than 20000 a year and can barely survive. "
In front of the camera lens of the TV station, the leader looked righteous and awe inspiring, "you built the airport here, that is to enjoy a rich life on the land of the poor! In Britain, black people are 28% more likely to be exposed to air pollution than white people. That''s why black people are the biggest victims of environmental pollution. If you destroy the environment, you will make us unequal in the environment and racial discrimination! "
They also said that the damage to the environment in the UK is global. When the global climate warms up, what is the hottest? Africa! Who are the people in Africa? Black people!
Seven of the world''s 10 largest countries affected by climate change are located in the Sahara periphery of Africa. Who are the people living there? Black people!
Therefore, when a small group of elites fly around through London City Airport, there are countless black people in Africa who have died because of the heat. They can''t escape the local heat because they can''t get a cheaper and more convenient way to survive.
In this climate crisis of racial discrimination, black people can not be the first to emigrate, they can only be the first to die.
This is the seed! Family! It''s not the same! See!
The annual salary of frequent airport passengers, air pollution, environmental damage, climate refugees, and then black people die first, so you are discriminating against us black people
Murphy didn''t quite understand the logic.
What he could see clearly was that thousands of passengers were forced to stay at the airport because of the inexplicable protest, anxiously waiting for the reopening of the airport and the updating of flight information.
this unbelievable protest is so incredible that it is not in line with the normal human behavior. It can only make complaints about a crazy Internet tuckus feast.
After spending an extra day in London, Murphy had nothing to do but watch.
And then they said, "how do we talk about racial discrimination at the airport? Well How about the pollution? Let''s call pollution racial discrimination
make complaints about the strange logic of black uncle, and the Internet is not surprising.
"It''s really strange that pollution doesn''t automatically distinguish race. How can it become racial discrimination?"
"Ha? Are blacks more vulnerable to air pollution? That''s interesting. It''s the first time I''ve heard about it. "
"Is it funny to say that the airport is open to the rich and the elite? A discount ticket to Madrid costs only 35 pounds, and it''s not hard to buy. Black people can''t afford it. They can only say that they don''t work hard, can they? "
"I learned something new today: pollution is racial discrimination!"
"I don''t know why the police have been negotiating with them for so long. It''s called illegal invasion. Just pick it up and drive it away?"
Some people specially answered this question, "if we really drive them away as illegal invasion, the blacks will really have the reason and excuse for racial discrimination."
The incident lasted until the next day, and the black people of that organization could always find countless reasons. As for the legitimate rights and interests of thousands of passengers stranded at the airport, they were not considered at all.
Moreover, with the peculiar brain circuits of the black uncles of this organization, it is estimated that they will not take it seriously at all, because these people on the plane are discriminating against the black people!
Although many ordinary people are politically correct and usually keep quiet about race issues, they will start to feel bitter when they sit in front of the keyboard.
It has to be said that in European and American society, many people are disgusted with the activities of black groups in various fields and their "sensitive nerves".
Even a lot of normal black people can''t understand the behavior of their compatriots.
Inexplicably, the negotiation team led by Murphy and Carla Firth was forced to stay in London for one more day. Fortunately, they had no important work to do. Those who were busy with work and business either chose flights from other airports or admitted bad luck.
At noon the next day, Murphy got on the flight to North America. After arriving in Los Angeles, she took a two-day break, adjusted her time difference, and immediately put into the latest promotion of "song of ice and fire: game of power".
Although the show''s broadcast on Fox cable is over, the follow-up peripheral sales have just begun, and the publicity and marketing will continue.
Before the DVD came on the market, Stanton studio and 20th Century Fox held a special fan meeting for the sake of sales. (to be continued). )
