Pilots of a China Southern Airlines flight made an exception to allow a passenger to use the aircraft’s satellite telephone after leaving Shenzhen on Sunday.
After the plane took off, Wang realized he had forgotten to turn off his gas stove, on which he had been cooking soup at home, while trying to catch the flight to Urumqi, capital of Xinjiang Uygur.
He then told the crew that his home would catch fire unless the stove was turned off in time. Pilot had to use the satellite telephone to tell Wang’s wife, who was working in a local hospital, to go home to turn off the gas stove. - China Daily/Asia News Network.
