Guo Jizhuang said in a low voice: "The news I received when I set out said that more than 320 people with minor or serious injuries have been rescued so far, and... 221 people have died."
When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he closed his eyes in pain and remained silent.
The car was still driving forward slowly, and then it started to rain.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Yan Jiecheng's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
This kind of weather adds many difficulties to on-site rescue operations.
At this time, Guo Jizhuang said something in a low voice that Yan Jiecheng didn't know.
"General Manager Yan, all the comrades on the train actively carried out self-rescue this time.
After the incident, Mi Fa, the deputy conductor who was taking turns on the train, organized and directed all surviving crew members to rescue people.
Wu Guangshou, the commander of the train, turned around and ran along the downward direction of the railway towards Niger Station.
Report the danger to your superiors via phone and request emergency rescue.
Train announcer Wang Shuming conveys orders and announcements to calm passengers' emotions.
A large number of train attendants and passengers rushed to the dark south end of Liziida Bridge outside the north exit of Nainaibao Tunnel.
Rescue passengers who fell in hard-seat carriages No. 9 and 10 on the bridge protection slope.
They used stock sleepers from the bridge and train curtains, as well as baskets, brooms, rags, work clothes and cooking oil from the dining car to light five large fires for lighting.
At that time, the dining car director Liu Jiaqi, conductors Huang Jinsheng and Jiang Yifu, dining car cook Zhang Weixian, dining car attendant Hou Guangshu and others on the car took the lead in sliding down the leaning carriage to rescue the injured.
Zhang Genyuan, a conductor in Car No. 9 who fell under the bridge, was rescued by a passenger. Regardless of his own injuries and bleeding, he immediately joined in rescuing others.
Among the 16 off-duty conductors in the camping car, 11 of them were women, and they braved the dark night and heavy rain.
The bodies of the victims were moved out of carriages No. 9 and 10 in the landslide, and the wounded were carried out.
The rescue operation lasted for three hours in the rainy night, and a total of 140 passengers with minor or serious injuries were rescued.
To the north, not far away, eight young people including Li Dexiang, squad leader of the armed police force guarding the Dadu River Bridge on the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, and Jin Ruirong, a 17-year-old female nurse from the Ouse River Station Railway Health Center, also rushed to the scene.
Rescue the passengers in the No. 11 hard-seat carriage that was washed up on the Dadu River beach.
Of the nearly 100 passengers in this carriage, only seven were still alive.
After rescuing five adults and a ten-year-old girl, another wave of mudslides came rolling in at Liziidagou.
Car No. 11 was shaken violently by the impact.
Li Deyang and Jin Ruirong were not afraid of danger, climbed into the carriage again, and rescued the last injured passenger.
The entire No. 11 carriage was swept into the rapids of the Dadu River by a mudslide. "
After Guo Jizhuang finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh. Yan Jiecheng also nodded and said, "They are all good comrades."
Guo Jizhuang also nodded and sighed, "It's just.
Yan Huaili, the conductor of the regular train.
Wang Mingyue and Tang Changping are the main locomotive drivers and co-drivers.
Han Tianyu and Zheng Wei, the driver and co-driver of the replacement locomotive.
As well as the two baggage handlers in the No. 13 baggage car, the two postal escorts in the No. 12 postal car and others unfortunately died on the spot. "
While Yan Jiecheng and the others were talking, the accident scene rescue headquarters came to the rescue headquarters.
The two people, headed by Huang Shudan and Director Yang Jiahui of the Rongcheng Road Bureau, nervously issued orders one after another.
The Rongcheng branch rescue train was also carrying various supplies urgently.
The two of them were still thinking about a question while rescuing.
Was this accident an accident or planned? What is the mystery behind the mysterious disappearance of the railway?
Why are the rails on the bridge disappearing?
Both of them reflected and summarized this.
It is their responsibility to explore the truth behind the matter, and the track cannot be broken for no reason.
Therefore, we must seek out the reasons and try our best to avoid them in the future construction process.
After all, the quality of the construction was defective. Years of use made the railway tracks and bridges unable to withstand damage, and their eventual destruction led to this tragedy.
Or there may be lurking enemies who are deliberately sabotaging this and causing losses to domestic economic development.
The two statements made by the entire command center each have their own merits, and they also have certain basis and favorable speculation.
But soon, both conjectures were rejected.
First, during the construction of the railway, the most expensive materials at the time were used, and the most advanced technology and the best engineers were used for overall design and construction.
The workers also work hard and polish every detail to perfection, and there is no so-called quality problem.
The country attaches great importance to railway transportation construction, and it has to go through hundreds of inspections and tests. Even if there are any mistakes during the process, they will be repaired and rescued in time.
It is impossible for any adverse consequences caused by quality to occur in the later use process.
Secondly, there are indeed many people who are eyeing the country.
Nowadays, Mao Xiong and Yingjiang are still in the Cold War situation, and they both have a mentality of wooing China, a rapidly developing country.
If China leans towards that side, the other side will start to destroy it.
This is not impossible. Moreover, since the reform and opening up, China's openness to the outside world has allowed the economy to quickly catch up with some countries.
It is not impossible for other countries to have a hostile attitude towards China.
However, the quality of the work is intact and destroying a section of track is no easy task.
If you want to do this, you can only use explosives.
The amount of explosives required must not be a small number, and powerful explosives will also cause a lot of noise.
People nearby will definitely notice it, and the most important thing is that during the inspection process, the exploration team found no traces of the use of explosives, which means that this statement is not valid.
Moreover, if the real intention is to destroy and succeed, China will definitely pursue it to the end. In the end, if the culprit is found, it will definitely give up.
International organizations will also judge it. No country is willing to take the risk of traveling thousands of miles to cause damage.
So, if neither of the above possibilities exists, what is the truth of this tragedy?
This puzzled everyone in the headquarters.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yan Jiecheng and his party finally arrived at the accident scene.
Yan Jiecheng was stunned by the tragic scene as soon as he got out of the car.
There are carriages hanging in mid-air, and carriages that have fallen into the river and are beyond recognition on the river beach.
There were rows of corpses placed on the river beach. The stones were stained red with blood, and there were even some broken limbs mixed among the stones.
Yan Jiecheng suppressed the discomfort in his stomach and walked quickly to the tent of the rescue headquarters.
Huang Shudan and Yang Jiahui were so busy that they didn't even notice Yan Jiecheng walking in.
Yan Jiecheng didn't say anything when he met, and asked directly: "Tell me briefly about the situation at the scene."
The two of them did not exchange polite greetings with Yan and directly talked about the specific situation at the scene.
The two people spoke very carefully, giving detailed reports on all aspects including rescuers, tools, food, medicines, and injured people.
Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but frowned after hearing this. Although there are already more than 4,000 people here. rescue.
Ganluo County also organized police officers, civil affairs cadres, militiamen, doctors, nurses, shop salespeople, and hotel waiters, totaling more than 1,000 people.
Carrying a large amount of medicine, food, nutrition, clothes and shoes, and 23 vans.
There were also more than 560 officers and soldiers from the local garrison in Ganluo, who arrived in 12 large trucks.
There is still a very serious problem, which is the treatment of seriously injured people.
After all, on-site conditions are limited, and some seriously injured people may die if it is too late to receive treatment.
Another thing is that the on-site rescue speed is too slow, and this line cannot be interrupted for too long, otherwise the impact will be very serious.
After all, this is the main line of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, and the transportation of many materials depends on this railway.
At present, the rescue headquarters is only responsible for the rescue of the accident itself.
Other aftermath work has not yet started.
Therefore, Yan Jiecheng directly established the accident rescue headquarters, which was under the jurisdiction of the original accident scene rescue headquarters. As well as the newly established Accident Investigation Board and Engineering Restoration Command.
Huang Shudan and Yang Jiahui from the accident scene rescue headquarters did a good job, and Yan Jiecheng naturally would not change his generals before the battle.
The accident investigation committee is headed by relevant experts from the accompanying ministry. In addition to being responsible for the overall work, he also personally presided over the coordination of the restoration and opening to traffic.
After Yan Jiecheng quickly dealt with these matters, he left the tent and looked around.
The wounded transfer point, the logistics cooking area, the temporary rescue tent of the medical team, etc.
I also met with the people who stayed here to participate in the rescue. These people did not complain and actively participated in the rescue, which moved Yan Jiecheng very much.
Subsequently, Yan Jiecheng organized the rush work.
Coordinated the Dianhua Section, Rongcheng Public Works Section, Rongcheng Road Bureau Housing Construction Team Three, Xifeng Works Section Bridge Overhaul Team, Rongcheng Road Bureau Railway Design and Research Institute and other units.
The chief engineers of these units organized more than 2,000 railway workers and technicians to go to the site to participate in the rush to open the Liziida Bridge.
The accident investigation team is not idle either.
After the investigation team worked hard all night for two days, they finally found clues.
On the ruins of the damaged line, there are many strange-shaped stones mixed with a huge amount of sediment.
This has not happened before. This discovery aroused great curiosity among the staff. Perhaps the reason is hidden in the stone.
Yan Jiecheng and the others, along with their technical staff, relied on their professional knowledge and after rigorous analysis, they concluded that there was a huge suspicion of the mudslide.
Only the force of nature can be so powerful that it can easily break a section of railway track.
However, there was only light rain that night, and it was unlikely that such a level of rain would trigger a mudslide.
Seeing the truth of the incident approaching, the clues were cut off again.
Adhering to the spirit of professionalism and responsibility to the end, it is also to give an explanation to people across the country who are paying attention to this matter.
Yan Jiecheng led their investigation team and put forward countless conjectures, and finally found the source of the stone.
Right at the origin of Liziidagou, on a plateau with an altitude of nearly 4,000, it was watered by heavy rain all night long.
A mudslide was born, and then like a butterfly effect, a series of events took place.
It slowly extended all the way down the Liziida ditch, and at the same time, it carried countless silt and huge amounts of falling rocks and rushed towards the bridge.
The bridge was unable to bear the huge impact force and broke.
At this point, the accident caused by a natural disaster has been thoroughly investigated.
After Yan Jiecheng signed his name on the investigation report, he said to Dai Mao: "You should telegraph this report to the ministry immediately and ask the ministry to arrange for it to be published in the newspaper immediately.
After all, people all over the country are paying attention to such a big accident. Now that the investigation of the accident is clear, they have been given an explanation. "
After Dai Mao heard what Yan Jiecheng said, he quickly said: "Okay leader, I will deal with it immediately.
It's just that here, there are also media from the capital. We have been blocking news and not allowing interviews, now, right? "
Yan Jiecheng thought for a moment and said, "Well, we will hold an impromptu press conference these evenings.
When the time comes, tell them the specific situation, otherwise I'm afraid these people will make random guesses. It would be bad if there are blind reports by then. "
These reporters arrived quickly, arriving the day after the accident.
Yan Jiecheng and the others were busy rescuing people and had no good impression of these people who were carrying cameras and taking pictures everywhere, and they had no time to receive them.
So they have been left hanging there. In order not to affect the order of the rescue, certain restrictions have been placed on these people.
I heard that there had been a lot of trouble in the past two days, and I was clamoring to see him and get an explanation from him.
The rush-to-pass work was carried out for three consecutive days and nights, but on the afternoon of the 13th, it started to rain heavily again.
Yan Jiecheng was in a temporary tent, looking at the heavy rain outside, and his heart was in a mess.
Now, the entire cause of the accident has been investigated clearly.
In ten minutes, their impromptu press conference was about to begin. But Yan Jiecheng looked at the weather and felt worried.
They have worked hard these days to clear out the foundation pits of the bridge piers.
But it started to rain heavily again. If flash floods occurred, all the work would not be in vain.
Then the work of rushing to connect the railway is in vain. It is not known when the line will be reopened.
Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng could only arrange for someone to keep an eye on the scene at all times. He himself went to a temporary meeting with several of the main people in charge of the rescue.
At this impromptu meeting with reporters, Yan Jiecheng briefed everyone on the cause, process, and number of casualties.
These reporters also saw the situation at the scene and knew that the situation this time was extremely tragic.
But when Yan Jiecheng mentioned 275 people, they were all shocked.
For a moment, the tent where the impromptu meeting was held was silent, and everyone was feeling sad for the lives lost.
Of course, the 275 Yan Jiecheng said is not the entire death toll, and some are missing people.
Although Yan Jiecheng knew deep down in his heart that these people were probably dead.
But he still wanted to believe that they were washed downstream by the water and might still be alive. After all, their hearts were kind.
"Then I would like to ask, apart from natural disasters, was there any human factor in this accident? Was it caused by the negligence of your employees?"
