Chapter 6 Chapter 5 Hope

While the fuselage was salvaged, the remains were gradually found.As the number of bodies found continues to increase, the number of family members standing on the trestle is dwindling.There are only a handful of remains that have not been found.With fewer bodies to find, ANA's side grew colder and the divers looked tired.Some divers didn't even think about the grief of the families of the victims, and just said some outrageous things. "I'm afraid it has been hit by the waves and drifted to the Pacific Ocean, where it was eaten by sharks!" The mood of the divers at the moment is also understandable.Several months have passed since the plane crashed.During this period, the search ships went out to sea almost every day, dealing with the cold sea water day and night.Divers, in particular, are exhausted.

They dive into the deep sea all day long, looking for dead bodies. They wear wool sweaters next to their skin, blankets around them, and then wetsuits.Even so, his whole body was still shivering, especially the fingers stuck in the military gloves, which were frozen like red carrots. Among them, some had colds, neuralgia, and diving sickness.Due to the tight time and heavy tasks of salvage, they had no choice but to rely on injections of nutrient solution and medicinal solution every day to support their physical strength.After a short rest, dive into the bottom of the sea again.For such hard work, the daily salary is only 3,000 yen at best.Daily wages like this are easily available to office workers sitting in modern air-conditioned offices.

In the initial stage of the divers' search, because the surrounding atmosphere is very dignified, everyone is full of enthusiasm. As the time stretches endlessly, because they can't get a good rest, people's fatigue is difficult to relieve, and the tension gradually fades away.For All Nippon Airways, which has to pay a huge search fee of 10 to 20 million yen every day, it is also beginning to feel an unbearable heavy burden.Although fewer and fewer bodies are salvaged every day, the search fee remains the same.And due to the expansion of the search range, the cost is also increasing.On the contrary, little has been achieved.

Standing on the trestle bridge among the family members who have not yet found the dead body, when they heard the rumors of stopping the salvage of the dead body, they started talking. "Our relatives have not been found yet, and the salvage must not end like this! The last body must be found!" Several family members of the victims who threatened to make a big fuss never appeared on the trestle again after their bodies were salvaged. Only the families of the victims who have not yet seen the remains formed the "Association for Salvage of the Last Corpse".The purpose of the Federation: Even if the remains of one's relatives are found, they must stay until the end.

This purpose, which was unanimously agreed upon by a vote, is actually not binding.They also know that it was established spontaneously because they did not want to endure lonely waiting and suffering. "What if An Yan-kun is the last body?" Yukiko seemed to have anticipated the sad outcome. Right now, there are still bodies of passengers who died that have not been salvaged.Therefore, as ANA, we had to continue salvage.If the last body was an employee of the company, the company might stop salvage immediately! The bodies of other employees of the company, including flight attendants, have been recovered.

— Dear husband, I sincerely pray that you will not be the last corpse! A month ago, Yukiko prayed to the sea with a fluke mentality, and prayed to God that Komuro Yasuhiko would not be the last corpse. As the body salvage work draws to a close, the families of the victims have entered the stage of compensation negotiation with All Nippon Airways. All Nippon Airways has signed insurance contracts with a total of about 3 billion yen with more than a dozen domestic insurance companies for aircraft compensation insurance.Furthermore, most of these insurance companies insure with large insurance companies around the world.

Therefore, the compensation amount borne by each insurance company is not large.The three billion daily insurance amount soon reached the bank account of All Nippon Airways. The purchase cost of the crashed plane was 2.85 billion yen.Since the insurance amount includes the purchase insurance of the aircraft, the amount of compensation for the accident will become a fraction. Furthermore, while ANA is insuring the aircraft, according to the provisions of the shipping contract, the total amount of life insurance is only 10 million yen, and the distribution objects are 140 passengers.Therefore, if the compensation amount is controlled within this amount, the company will not incur direct losses.

All Nippon Airways stipulates in the shipping contract that the amount of compensation for passengers who die in accidents is limited. According to the shipping contract of AJA4301, the total amount of compensation is 27 million yen.Among them, legal litigation costs are also included. According to this provision, the maximum amount of compensation is of course limited to this range.Passengers who don't know the provisions of this shipping contract can't do it even if they don't agree.As long as you get on the AJA4301 plane, you are deemed to be committed to all the provisions of the shipping contract.

An instrument considered a contract of carriage, printed on the back of an airline ticket.It is densely packed, like countless ants crawling, and it is impossible to see clearly.Even if the passenger does not read every word, it is considered to have been read and acknowledged. AJA4301 aircraft, because it has stopped at the domestic airport of the United States, according to the Varuso Treaty signed by the International Aviation Organization, belongs to the highest amount of compensation. Even so, among the families of the victims, many people are still aggrieved. "We don't want money, give us back our loved ones!"

Yukiko didn't know whether her husband Yasuhiko should be included in the meaning of passengers, and she didn't know whether ANA would pay compensation according to the compensation clause in the shipping contract for her husband's death. From Yukiko's heart, what is needed is her husband's return, not compensation.But now, her husband's death is certain.We must consider how to face the future life. When we got married, thanks to the expensive dowry brought from my mother's family, there would not be immediate difficulties in life.But this is not a long-term solution. Over time, life will undoubtedly be difficult.Besides, after marriage, my father went bankrupt due to real estate fraud.

As the joint property of the husband and wife, the husband also used a considerable amount of money she brought from her natal family.The now bankrupt natal family has no hope to rely on anymore.For her future life, it is best to have compensation. I need compensation no matter what!In the future, I will face a long lonely life.To get compensation is also to live with her dead husband. Yukiko secretly made up her mind.As a family member of the victims, she came to the bitingly cold trestle every day.Gradually, she seemed to be reborn, like a different person, perhaps because of the suffering she had endured.From a newlywed, she quickly turned into a strong woman.However, All Nippon Airways regards Yukiko as the family members of the victims, and cannot treat them equally with the families of the passengers. Finally one day, a middle-aged employee named Jiang Chajun walked up to her.The compensation method is to deal with it in accordance with the company's internal rules and regulations.Jiang Chajun is a member of the AJA4301 aircraft aftermath team of All Nippon Airways, and is responsible for negotiating compensation with the families of the victims. "In the case of Yasuhiko Komuro, according to the relevant clauses stipulated in the shipping contract, he is committed to the various provisions of the shipping contract. In other words, according to Article 3, Clause C, he is a free passenger." "So what?" Looking at the opponent who was beating around the bush, Yukiko became a little anxious. "That is to say, he did not pay for the ticket in accordance with relevant regulations." "Of course! He's on a business trip for the company!" Yukiko couldn't help but screamed.When traveling on business, it is only natural to take the plane of your own company.This, is it true that employees on business trips must purchase air tickets at their own expense.In the world, how can there be such a company? "A business trip is also a kind of free ride!" When Jiang Chajun spoke, his face was expressionless.Could it be that the members of the aftermath team who negotiated with the families of the victims should be so cold and insensitive?Perhaps in order to reduce compensation expenses, deliberately playing tricks? "According to what you said, what should be the compensation for free rides?" "Nothing in the contract of carriage applies. In short, you can't treat the families of victims as ordinary passengers." "So, is it treated the same as the families of the flight attendants who died?" "The so-called passengers do not include flight attendants. Mr. Komuro is an employee of the company, but he is also a passenger. And because he rides for free, the families of the victims cannot get the same compensation as ordinary passengers." "I want you to be straightforward, what kind of compensation should you enjoy?" "His nature is that he died in the line of duty. That is to say, it is the compensation for workers' injuries, plus the compensation stipulated by the company." Jiang Chajun beat around the bush.The total amount of compensation he mentioned was not even a fraction of the amount stipulated in the shipping contract.Moreover, it is even lower than the amount of compensation for flight attendants. An Yanjun's death compensation is not enough to meet the compensation conditions stipulated in the shipping contract, and it cannot be treated equally with the flight attendants.Yukiko was furious and furious.She carefully analyzed and studied all the clauses in the shipping contract, and learned that free rides may not be excluded. "It may or may not be excluded, depending on the circumstances." The company's arbitrary decision violated the provisions of the shipping contract. "Who decided to exclude my husband's compensation from the provisions of the shipping contract?" Yukiko understood immediately.The person who decided to reduce the amount of compensation for her husband's death was actually the marriage introducer between himself and Yasuhiko-Yotake Yoshiaki, the executive officer of ANA. I heard that the sharp drop in turnover in the past few days, coupled with the compensation and search and salvage payment, the company is overwhelmed in expenditure.In order to reduce expenses, Otake's special manager notified the aftermath team to include An Yanjun's compensation in the expense of labor injury subjects. "Should my husband's life be included in the column of labor injuries?" At that time, Yukiko couldn't help but feel angry towards Otake Yoshiaki.The husband was on a business trip to Europe on behalf of Otake Yoshiaki, and died in place of Otake Yoshiaki.Thinking of this, Yukiko couldn't help gnashing her teeth.She even thought of killing him with her own hands one day. Time flies, and July is here.The remains that have not yet been found have been salvaged one after another.On the morning of July 25, the last body of the dead passengers was salvaged.Sure enough, Yukiko's premonition at the time did not come true, but in the end, it was Yasuhiko Komuro, an employee of All Nippon Airlines who died. In the afternoon of the same day, ANA notified the salvage and rescue company to stop the search and salvage operations. The person who issued this order was Yoshiaki Otake, one of the heads of All Nippon Airways. That day, the sky was filled with cumulonimbus clouds that bathe the summer sun.Yukiko looked up at the merciless sky, as if waking up from a dream. Her dear husband left her side forever and passed away quietly.
