Chapter 856: So be it
Just last month, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck the Rasht region of northwestern Iran, and after the earthquake, the number of casualties increased due to aftershocks and subsequent disasters such as landslides. According to Iran's "Tehran Times" on the 24th of last month, the death toll has reached at least 50,000, the number of injured is nearly 200,000, and another 500,000 people have been left homeless!
The hardest hit by the earthquake was in the town of Rudbar in the province of Guilan, where almost all the buildings collapsed and most of the residents were killed!
No one asked why the new boss didn't organize forces to rescue the Iranian disaster area at that time, because there was really no need to ask - although the boss was a Chinese, he was an American citizen, and now the relationship between the United States and Iran is a needle-to-needle!
At this time, one of the rescue team members said: "If only the new boss could organize an international rescue team, we can also make more money, it is said that he has too much money to count." β
When SΓ‘nchez heard this, he laughed and scolded: "Little Gonzalez, you greedy man!
Chileans, the nouns are almost the same, there are two Sanchez, two Matthias, and three Zamoranos in the plane!
The scolded Gonzalez is 26 years old this year, has been a miner for 7 years, and he was not angry when he was scolded by the captain, so he didn't hear it, but continued to ask: "Captain, what is the most serious earthquake rescue situation you have encountered?" β
Miners, once an earthquake occurs, will be one of the main forces of rescue in many cases, because they are well organized, have technology, equipment, and of course, the first thing to mention is that their own home has not suffered a major disaster.
When Sanchez heard this, he seemed to recall it and exhaled deeply.
"What time else, when you young people weren't even born, and I was only 17 years old. But that time it wasn't called rescue, it was a run for my life, at least I was running for my life..."
Little Gonzalez here seemed to feel like he had asked a stupid question, and Zamorano, the oldest in the grade, slapped his head!
Yes, he is from Chile, and of course he knows which earthquake his country has experienced the most - a magnitude 9.5 earthquake struck Chile at 3 p.m. on May 21, 1960, and it was by far the largest swarm of the 20th century!
A group of people came and went, and they were all oversized!
At six o'clock in the morning on May 21, 1960, a small earthquake first struck the province of Arauco in southern Chile, and when the Chilean government was preparing to rescue the affected areas, the second more violent earthquake hit Valdivia City at 14:55 pm local time on May 22, and the coastal town of Tortan even disappeared completely in the earthquake!
At 7 p.m., the earth suddenly erupted violently again, and the strongest earthquake of magnitude 9.5 on record erupted on the seabed near Puerto Montt in the Chilean Trench in the Pacific Ocean at 3.2 degrees south latitude and 76.6 degrees west longitude.
The earthquake lasted a full eleven minutes!
And that's not all!
From May 21 to May 30, hundreds of earthquakes occurred in a narrow area of 1,400 kilometers north and south of Chile, including two aftershocks of more than 8 and 10 of them over 7.
And that's just the earthquake β during the earthquake Chile 6 extinct volcanoes erupted again, 3 new volcanoes appeared, and a terrifying super tsunami was formed!
Although the death toll was only more than 20,000, it was the largest earthquake ever recorded by human instruments! Not only was Chile affected, but 22 hours after the earthquake, the seismic waves crossed the Pacific Ocean and set off another tsunami on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, causing serious damage to the eastern coastal areas of Japan and the Philippines, killing more than 800 people and leaving 150,000 homeless.
Sanchez seemed to be reminiscing, and it was like talking to himself.
"I'm a Valvian and I worked in a mine in the south for over a year. Later, my family asked me to find a job on the dock, and that day I was on the night shift at the dock to learn how to operate the conveyor belt, and I thought that the place where the earthquake had occurred before would be unlucky.
Suddenly, the sky shook, and many houses collapsed immediately, and I was still panicking and thinking about running home to have a look, but suddenly the sea was gone, and there was no water under the pier.
The foreman who taught me to do the work immediately shouted that there was a tsunami, and I got on the car and ran, and I really had to ride fast!
The road was blocked, I lost the car and ran, maybe I got home in about 10 minutes, called my mother who was sheltering from the earthquake in the open space at the door, and ran up the hill with my sister in my arms.
Running for your life, that's really running for your life!
Fortunately, my house is relatively high, and the power in the whole city is out, so it all depends on two legs.
reacted quickly and survived, our family of three ran to the mountain and didn't take a breath, and the waves behind us arrived, and the whole city was swallowed!
Three stories high, the highest waves can be more than 20 meters!
Fortunately, my house is a wooden house, and my mother and sister ran out during the earthquake.
Those who were still buried under the houses and couldn't get out were drowned, and those who were slow to react and didn't know what the tsunami was coming were swept away, and the sea roared again and again for hours!
My home was gone, and then the rescue team built us a small house, and I couldn't go back to work at the docks, so I went to the mine again. β
The crowd didn't ask where the captain's father had gone, who was also a miner and was still alive and had retired a few years ago.
The group was speechless, lost interest in continuing to talk, continued to rest, and arrived at the Philippine air base in just over an hour.
......
The huge C141 landed on the runway, allowing those American GIs to see the strength of the world's top large companies!
You must know that the "United Forces" is not only a large transport aircraft, but also 3 C141 transport satellites alone, and it is said that they are still trying to find a way to buy them.
There are also a couple of C130s, not counting small planes, at least a dozen helicopters, even the Mi-26 of the Soviets!
It was just an ordinary transport force, and the boss also had the world's only two, the world's first Boeing 767 luxury private jet, and several expensive Gulfstream 4s, one of which was said to be a Christmas gift for the man's unrelated sister.
American GIs also read fashion and general magazines, and have a little knowledge of the huge scale of the "Sunshine Star" company, which will see the arrival of transport planes, and envy is indispensable.
Because they also learned about the treatment of employees of the "United Forces" company, especially the relatively high salaries of special jobs such as pilots and mechanics, many people have the idea of going to this security company to eat after retirement.
Just do it, and there are really people who ask in private, which makes several companies just pilots a little crying and laughing.
This rescue operation has just begun, and the company's free advertising has been played: rapid mobilization within the intercontinental range, which is no longer an ordinary ability!
When the Chilean rescue team finished sorting out the equipment and supplies, and the first people boarded the helicopter, a larger and massive C5 Galaxy giant transport plane arrived at Clark Air Force Base.
The first rescue forces sent by the "combined forces" have all arrived, and as for the next ...
Thomas had to call his boss, and he called, "Boss, about the rescue, I think that's pretty much it." β
"Well, I know, I know, so be it. β
