　　　　　　 According to the website of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, according to the preliminary investigation by the Central and South Regional Administration of Civil Aviation, this incident is an alternate flight incident that caused false fire alarm information due to the failure of the aircraft warning system, and does not constitute an air transport accident or a symptom of accident due to liability. Airlines, air traffic control, airports and other related units cooperated closely, the air handling of the crew was correct, the ground evacuation was decisive, the air traffic control emergency support was strong, and the emergency handling work of relevant airport departments was timely and effective, which met the safety requirements.

　　　　　　 [Does the unit disposal overreact? 】 Expert: The unit disposal process is reasonable, legal and compliant.

　　　　　　 We can see that in the two incidents of Sichuan Airlines and China Southern Airlines, one of the suspects has been under control, and the other has been safely prepared. However, in the case that everyone thinks it is safe, the crew has carried out a series of follow-up disposal. Is this disposal overreacting?

　　　　　　 Zhang Wei, director of the Aviation Society of China, commented that both Sichuan Airlines and China Southern Airlines are reasonable, legal and compliant in handling emergencies. Because for airlines, the safety of passengers is always the first. In case of the following situations: for example, explosives are left on the plane, or other illegal items are left on the plane. When the plane takes off again, it will have unpredictable consequences. In addition, many lessons from air crashes show that fires after landing can still cause passengers casualties. Therefore, in today’s aviation industry, whether it is aircraft manufacturers or aircraft operators, we must adopt a demanding attitude towards aviation safety, because even a mistake of 0.1% may cause irreparable losses.
