A Chinese airplane made an emergency landing Monday after its front window broke and one of its pilots was partly pulled out of the plane. The Sichuan Airlines passenger flight took off from Chongqing, in southwest China. It was traveling to the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. The airplane’s other pilot, Liu Chuanjian, safely landed the plane in the city of Chengdu. Now, Liu is being called a hero in China. The plane was flying at a height of about 9,700 meters when an extremely loud sound was heard in the cockpit, Liu said. The cockpit experienced a sudden loss of air pressure and drop in temperature. When he looked over, Liu saw the cockpit’s right window was gone. Liu was reported as saying, “The next thing I know, my co-pilot had been sucked halfway out of the window."
