At 7PM, Zhang Ye was finally leaving the airport.
The moment he stepped out, a group of reporters, an estimated 40 to 50 of them and another 7 to 8 holding cameras, surrounded him. It was as if the whole of Shanghai's newspaper agencies and television stations had gathered here. Zhang Ye was blinded by multiple bursts of camera flashes. He could not see what was in front of him clearly as the reporters took photos and asked questions one after another!
"Teacher Zhang Ye!"
"I'm from Shanghai Daily News!"
"Please tell us about how you felt during the hijack!"
"I'm from the Shanghai Television Station, please accept our interview!"
"We heard that you were the one who landed the aircraft at the airport, saving hundreds of lives. How did you do it?"
"As a radio host, how did you learn to fly an aircraft? And it was a commercial airliner? Did you receive some sort of special training before?"
Zhang Ye had nothing to say.
