Chapter 103: The Truth About the Accident (18)
After walking a few trapped miners' families, the general aftermath and resettlement situation were almost understood, and Qi Tianxiang returned to the Victory Hotel with a heavy heart.
When he returned to the hotel, before he could take a serious breath, news came from the scene of the accident, and two of them came at once, which made Qi Tianxiang's long-suppressed emotions agitated.
The tunnel has been opened, and the miners trapped in the tunnel face will soon be able to ascend the shaft safely. The collapsed roadway has been ventilated and smoked, and the dense smoke and dust have been emptied, and the miners trapped in the face of the tunnel have sent people to investigate the collapsed area, and faintly heard the sound of crying for help in the collapsed ruins.
Excavation of the main roadway is progressing well, and vital detectors have detected signs of life, which experts estimate are within a kilometre of each other. This confirms the initial speculation that the collapse area is about two kilometers, and the moving minecart is buried in the roadway by the sudden collapse, and the collapsed ruins are basically dominated by earth and rock, and the people trapped in the minecart are likely to survive.
When the news came, Qi Tianxiang couldn't suppress his excitement and drove to the scene with Liang Zhixin and others who were waiting at the Victory Hotel. Subconsciously, Qi Tianxiang felt that he should stay at the mouth of the tunnel to greet every trapped master who ascended the shaft, although he couldn't do anything, concern and concern should still be, even if it was just a relieved smile, it was also a sincere expression.
When I arrived at the scene, it was the time when the first batch of trapped miners were about to ascend the shaft, and the tunnel mouth was full of leaders at all levels, as well as media reporters who got the news, and the congested water at the tunnel mouth was blocked, leaving only a narrow passage, waiting for the trapped people to ascend the shaft one after another.
Qi Tianxiang and his entourage were guided by the staff and walked to the mouth of the tunnel, Tong Anshan saw Qi Tianxiang coming, and didn't say too much, just nodded silently, which was regarded as a greeting.
"We are ready to go up the shaft, and more than 30 people will come out of the shaft at the beginning, all of whom are miners who are not very old and in good health, and a few cars can only transport so many people at a time. In this way, the well will be lifted in several batches, and the transfer and treatment work on the well will not be too busy. Zhang Wanfu walked to Qi Tianxiang's side and said slowly: "Now the mood of the trapped people in Zhangzimian is stable, and some milk and bread and other foods have been passed down the ventilation shaft in the morning, and when the vehicle went down just now, some food was brought down, not only to replenish the physical strength of the miners and masters in Zhangzimen, but also to make some necessary reserves in case of emergency." ”
Qi Tianxiang glanced at Zhang Wanfu deeply, and saw that his face was tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and his eye sockets were also a little sunken, so he said with a little concern: "You have also worked hard, I really bother you." ”
"What are you talking about, it's not all about catching up, and it's also something I should do!" Qi Tianxiang's concern made Zhang Wanfu a little uncomfortable, so he said lightly, then changed the topic, and then said: "Liu Siwa and Wang Xiaohu went down with the rescue team again, these two people are really desperate, from yesterday to now, there is almost no rest, and Lao Xie and Yu Zhen are also willing to give up their lives, brotherhood is deep!" This kind of leadership, which treats the miners as brothers, is so unpopular. ”
"Those who win the hearts of the people do not necessarily win the hearts of officials, this has been the case since ancient times!" Qi Tianxiang sighed softly: "If it weren't for these cadres who still have an innocent heart, some of our officials would be able to live a free life." ”
"That's right!" Zhang Wanfu said with deep sympathy, and then added: "There is also the underground mine elder Wang, who has been going back and forth in and out of the collapse several times, and organized the miners with good physical and psychological quality to enter the rescue state, without any machinery, with both hands, doing rescue work. ”
Qi Tianxiang looked at Zhang Wanfu again and said with deep feelings: "Remember these people!" When the time comes, it is necessary to give commendations and rewards, which is an affirmation that must be given. ”
As he spoke, he found that there was a sound in the tunnel, and knew that the first batch of trapped miners were about to come out of the mine, so he focused on the tunnel, and consciously cooperated with the guidance of the staff, and flashed some positions, which made the space at the mouth of the tunnel larger, more rescuers gathered over, and more people were fully prepared.
As the first tunnel construction vehicle drove out of the tunnel entrance, the crowd of onlookers immediately became excited, and the cameras of the media reporters focused on this place, and the flash lights kept flashing, catching this exciting moment.
The three cars drove out of the tunnel in turn, and slowly stopped outside the entrance of the tunnel, and with the one-on-one support of the medical staff, the miners with blindfolds slowly walked out of the construction truck, and slowly walked along the mewgap where the crowd had evaded, and slowly walked towards the ambulance parked not far away.
Seeing this scene, Qi Tianxiang suppressed his excitement and excitement, looked at Tong Anshan and made gestures, asking Tong Anshan to invite first, and then the group walked slowly to the ambulance, stood in a line, and shook hands with the miners who came to the front one after another, expressing concern and condolences.
As usual, the leaders cordially expressed their condolences, and the trapped miners sincerely thanked the party and the government for the rescue, thanked the brothers of the rescue team for sparing no effort to rescue them, and sighed that they must cherish their lives, return to work after recovery, and make new contributions.
The confessions that these news media like to make are understood to be just a procedure, just to prove the results of the rescue work, and the actual meaning is even clear to media reporters. But even so, it is still done seriously and rigorously, the leaders express it seriously, the miners sincerely thank them, and the reporters meticulously record and record the video, just for the existence of this moment, and there is also the moving of readers or viewers.
After Tong Anshan, Qi Tianxiang and others shook hands with the miners one by one, they watched them board the ambulance in order with the support of medical personnel, and slowly left with the siren, and gradually disappeared in their vision, before walking slowly to the mouth of the tunnel again, waiting for the engineering vehicle to turn around again and take the next group of trapped people out of the tunnel.
We all know that this kind of wait is long and meaningless, but including Tong Anshan, they all take it seriously, looking forward to it with patience and confidence.
It seems to be a sacred religious ceremony, and everyone's heart knows the meaning and purpose, and even does not believe in any warnings and changes brought about by the ritual in the first place, but driven by a certain need, there is a very pious demeanor, a mood of great admiration, and the demeanor is solemnly expressed, just for the attention of others, and the needs of form and purpose.
Qi Tianxiang is in this mood at the moment, and this feeling strongly reminds himself, but he still does it silently, seriously and sincerely.
