On the evening of July 8, a powered Delta wing plane crashed in New Barag Left Banner, Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, killing the pilot and a passenger. The victim was a 12 year old Shanghai student named Li Ming (pseudonym). On the 14th, Li Ming's family told Jimu News reporters about the incident.
Li Ming is a child who loves flying and has been interested in airplanes and helicopters since childhood. He has participated in aviation model competitions and won awards. His dream is to become a pilot when he grows up. This summer vacation, he and his parents came to Inner Mongolia for a trip, hoping to experience the scenery of the grasslands.
In the afternoon of July 8, Li Ming and his parents came to a power Delta wing flight base in New Barag Left Banner. The power Delta wing is a light aircraft, which is composed of a triangular cloth wing surface and a cockpit hanging below. It can fly at low altitude. Li Ming was very excited when he saw these planes and wanted to give them a try. He pleaded with his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, I want to sit on the Delta wing just once, okay?" Li Ming's parents originally disagreed, thinking that this kind of plane was too dangerous. But Li Ming is very persistent and says he is 12 years old and can make his own decisions. He also said that this is his dream, and if he doesn't achieve it, he will regret it in the future. Li Ming's parents couldn't bear to refuse him when they saw how serious he was. They inquired with the staff at the flight base about the relevant safety measures and prices.
The staff told them that the power Delta wing flight needs to be accompanied by a professional pilot, and a safety agreement and a disclaimer should be signed. Each flight takes about 15 minutes and the price is 500 yuan. The staff also said that although the power Delta wing looks simple, it is actually very safe, because it has a parachute system, which can eject the parachute in time and land smoothly in case of failure or emergency. After listening to the staff's explanation, Li Ming's parents felt it was reliable and wanted to meet the children's wishes. So they agreed to take Li Ming's power Delta wing and signed the relevant documents. The staff arranged for an experienced pilot for Li Ming and dressed him in protective clothing and helmet. Li Ming happily followed the pilot to a powered Delta wing aircraft parked on the grass.
Li Ming's parents stood next to him, taking photos and videos with their phones. They saw Li Ming and the pilot sitting in the cockpit. The pilot started the engine, and the powered Delta wing aircraft began to slide on the grass, and then slowly lifted off. Li Ming's parents applauded and cheered for him, and Li Ming also waved and smiled at them.
When Li Ming's parents watched the powered Delta wing aircraft flying in the air, they felt very magical and relieved. They thought that this should be the happiest moment of Li Ming's life. They didn't expect that this was the last time they saw Li Ming. After flying for about 10 minutes, the powered Delta wing suddenly broke down. According to later investigations, it was because of engine failure that the power Delta wing aircraft lost power and control. The pilot attempted to eject the parachute system, but for unknown reasons, the parachute system did not function properly. The powered Delta wing aircraft began to descend rapidly and rotate in the air.
After the incident, the local government and public security department quickly rushed to the scene and conducted investigations and rescue work. At the same time, psychological counseling personnel were also arranged to appease Li Ming's family. It is reported that the cause of the accident is under further investigation, and the relevant responsible persons will also be held legally responsible. Li Ming's family members stated that they cannot accept this fact and feel that they have lost the most important person in their life. They said, "We just want the child to achieve a dream, but we didn't expect to pay such a price. We hope to find out the truth of the accident as soon as possible and give the child justice
