Chapter 17: A Race Against Time
Mayor Yun was the first leader to arrive at the scene, the secretary of the municipal party committee was holding a meeting in the province, and the mayor was in other provinces to participate in a business promotion, hearing the news, the secretary and the mayor immediately decided to take the nearest flight to rush back, and the organization entrusted Mayor Yun with full authority to direct the on-site rescue work.
A large number of public security officers, fire officers and soldiers and some civilian rescue organizations are rushing to the rescue on the way, due to traffic jams, to the rescue work has a great impact, Yun Baichuan as early as rushed to the scene of the accident, quickly deployed remote control vehicles, blocked the entrance, exit diversion, to ensure that all roads for the rescue convoy and rescue equipment to give the green light.
He frowned, walked quickly, and was already close to the danger zone of the landslide, and the boulder that had just rolled down was only thirty meters away from him, and several staff members quickly lined up into a wall, saying nothing and refusing to let Mayor Yun take another step.
"Settle the families of the trapped people, calm their emotions, and at the same time understand the basic situation of the trapped people and record them in detail. ”
"Evacuate people in the lower reaches of the river to avoid the formation of a dammed lake that could lead to collapse and inundate the village......"
"Immediately coordinate with neighboring cities, control vehicles and detours, and open up space for rescue work. ”
"What are the casualties inside the tunnel? We must find out the situation, whether the air circulation is unobstructed, whether communication can be guaranteed, what is the mood of the trapped people? Report immediately. ”
"The entire police are assembled and on standby. ”
"Comrades from land, transportation, safety supervision, and construction will immediately arrive at the scene and hold a meeting in five minutes. ”
Mayor Yun kept looking at his watch, and orders were issued in an orderly manner, and from time to time some officials came to report at a trott.
There was a broken table on the road, as if it had been moved from a nearby villager's house, Yun Baichuan looked at the drawings on the table, pacing anxiously, he knew that he was not an expert, he didn't know how to save people!
But time waits for no one, time is life.
At this time, the comrades of the traffic police detachment came to report the situation: "The situation in the tunnel is clear, first there was a collapse in the tunnel, which caused the west exit of the tunnel to be blocked, and then due to the mountain changes caused by the collapse in the tunnel, it directly led to a landslide at the mouth of the tunnel, and seven vehicles and an agricultural tricycle were trapped, that is, ...... The seven vehicles and an agricultural tricycle have been completely trapped in the tunnel, including a tourist bus with 32 tourists and two drivers and passengers, and a long-distance bus with 7 passengers in the car, and 4 people on the agricultural tricycle, according to the camera, 56 people were trapped, there was no signal in the tunnel, the specific situation of the people inside was unknown, and the casualties were ...... Unidentified ......"
Yun Baichuan asked, "What about the ventilation system in the tunnel?"
The leader of the traffic police detachment looked at a comrade from the Safety Supervision Bureau next to him, and the comrade from the Safety Supervision Bureau bowed his head and said: "You can't use ......."
……
Yun Baichuan's eyes were resolute, he knew that this was not the time to lose his temper, it was not the time to pursue responsibility, and the lives and property of the people were the most urgent task.
He pondered for a while, decisively took out his mobile phone, dialed it up, and said calmly: "Secretary Zhao, the current situation is like this......"
After the report was completed, Secretary Zhao said softly: "Comrade Baichuan, we must do everything to save people and prevent secondary accidents, especially the safety of the lives and property of the people in the lower reaches of the river...... Baichuan, hard work!"
Yun Baichuan also replied softly: "Thank you, Secretary Zhao!" and hung up the phone silently.
Zhao Xiaolei and Candle Long watched Mayor Yun strategizing from the side, Mayor Yun did everything in detail, did not mess up in danger, and did the peripheral work of the entire rescue work in an orderly manner, Zhao Xiaolei couldn't help but silently praise the mayor in his heart.
If you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Yun Baichuan was very depressed in his heart, his professional habits told him that this was not a natural disaster, this was a complete human disaster, looking at the heart-rending families of the trapped people crying outside the cordon, he knew what he should do.
The situation was so critical that the rescue meeting began without any opening words.
Mayor Yun patiently and carefully listened to the plan and deployment work, and the officials who reported around him changed one after another.
Soon, the rescue plan was worked out, according to the geological experts' survey results of the ground conditions, and put forward suggestions to use * to completely remove the hidden dangers of the landslide, which caused different voices of rescue experts - now the rescue has been difficult, and then add some landslides, the golden time of 72 hours of rescue is an impossible task.
Priority is given to ensuring air, supplies and communications in the tunnel, to put it simply, landslide, what is the concept?
That's half a mountain down!
The best rescue time is 72 hours, 72 hours to dig up half a mountain?
It would be nice to be able to dig a rescue hole!
Okay, then dig a hole, from the drawings, the nearest point from the buried tunnel is 27 meters, this seems to be the most effective and fastest rescue method, but the construction experts proposed - do not know the situation in the tunnel, under the impact of heavy equipment, it will inevitably cause the tunnel to collapse again, that means the rescue failed.
As the minutes passed, Yun Baichuan was a lot tired, his face was full of exhaustion, and the scorching sun and humid climate in summer made these pampered officials and experts embarrassed.
But who dares to take half a step away?
The sun is sinking in the west, and before you know it, the dark clouds are pressing down, the mountain wind is rising, and the wind and rain are coming......
Yesterday it rained so heavily that it had just cleared up for a day, and the rain was coming again, which was bound to create a bigger obstacle to the entire rescue operation.
The venue fell silent, and a message from the weather department silenced everyone - it was raining heavily tonight!
Everyone's eyes are on Yun Baichuan.
Yun Baichuan frowned, and said in a deep voice to the experts attending the meeting: "Thank you, comrades, please give me 10 minutes." Silently left the meeting site.
Although Mayor Yun looked calm and calm, he knew in his heart that this time he was afraid that he would have to live up to the trust of the party and the people, and the masses trapped in the tunnel were estimated to be more auspicious, and the house leak happened to rain overnight, he looked up at the dark clouds that swept in, this rain was about to fall, right?
The uncontrollable landslides, the impending heavy rainstorms, and the virtual ventilation system in the tunnel, he hated in his heart, hated those crazy builders, hated those corrupt officials who were embarrassed and treacherous, and under his calm expression, his heart was turbulent.
……
The rescuers arrived at the scene from all walks of life, the landslide is still unstable, there are still huge stones falling, so that the rescue team throws a mouse bogey, there has been an excavator smashed into scrap metal, fortunately the driver escaped in time, otherwise the people waiting for rescue have not been rescued, the rescue team first casualties, which is embarrassing.
The important instructions of the Party, the Central Committee, the State Council, and the State Council were also conveyed to the front line, and the relevant leaders at the national level were also on the way to the disaster area.
Rescue work for secondary disasters is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and the dammed lake caused by the landslide has been formed, and if the heavy rain hits, there is a danger of collapse at any time, and the villagers in the villages downstream of the dammed lake have begun to evacuate urgently.
The situation is not much better upstream, with rising water levels putting villages and farmland in jeopardy.
Race against time!
Huh, wait...... Race against time!
