Chapter 122: Stampede

Zuo Jiang talked about Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi one by one, sighing, in fact, this is not his classmate's mother's experience at all, but his experience in his previous life, he just used the way of his classmate's mother to tell it, in fact, in the entire national railway Spring Festival, there are many more severe situations than this, once the order of the train is not maintained, it is easy to produce large-scale passenger group deaths and injuries, so, in Guangdong and other places where the passenger flow is concentrated, when it comes to the critical moment of the Spring Festival, A large number of armed police officers will be dispatched to assist the railway authorities in maintaining order.

Thinking of the incident of mass deaths and injuries, Zuo Jiang suddenly remembered the stampede on the overpass convection that was once born at Tongjiang Station. Yes, the time is the Spring Festival in 1987, exactly? Zuo Jiang thought for a while and suddenly remembered, it was more than 9 o'clock in the evening of the New Year, and the twenty-third day of the lunar month was the New Year, and that was tomorrow! Thinking of this, Zuo Jiang couldn't help but get anxious, what should I do?

Because Zuo Jiang used to be the stationmaster of Tongjiang Station, he was very familiar with the accident in the history of the station, and when he thought of maintaining the order of the Spring Festival, he immediately remembered the injury incident of this passenger stampede. The overpass of Tongjiang Station is a unilateral overpass, passengers go up and down the overpass to take this overpass passage, the 171 passenger train that should have arrived at 8:30 p.m. was delayed, arrived at Tongjiang Station at 9 o'clock, stopped at 2 platforms and 4 lanes, and the 324 passenger trains out of the car were started at 9:30 p.m., the car body stopped at 2 platforms and 3 lanes, the two passenger trains were on the same platform, according to the regulations, the ticket inspection was 30 minutes in advance, and the ticket inspection should start normally at 9 o'clock, Because there was a mistake in the communication between the passenger staff who checked the ticket and the staff who picked up the train, the ticket inspection started on time.

Because it is the peak of passenger flow in the Spring Festival, there are many passengers who get on and off the train, and the passengers who get off the train are in a hurry to go home, and they flock out of the overpass as soon as they get off the train, ready to cross the overpass to a platform to exit the station. Passengers at the place of boarding are afraid that they will not be able to get on the bus, and as soon as they get out of the ticket gate, they will rush towards the overpass. As a result, two huge passenger flows are convection and crowded together on the steps of the overpass, and the support of the overpass is large, and some passengers on the overpass are squeezed down on the overpass, and the passengers behind continue to hug under the unknown situation, and the passengers in front can't stop at all, so they trample on the passenger ground on the overpass, and these passengers are also tripped and squeezed down. More and more passengers fell, more and more passengers were trampled and squeezed, and the sounds of help and cries became loud.

It was not until the station staff and a large number of armed policemen who were maintaining order on the platform heard the news and built a human wall hand in hand to stop the situation from further unfolding, and after cleaning up the scene, the number of injured passengers reached 17. Minor injuries to the muscles and bones, heavy bleeding from the mouth and nose did not wake up, fortunately did not die on the spot, the station immediately organized personnel to rush to the hospital for injuries, in the process of rescue, a 2-year-old boy died of serious injuries, the boy's mother was trampled into a serious injury because she tried her best to protect him and fell unconscious.

This incident immediately caused a sensation in the whole society. Attracted the attention of the high-level. The railway department was instructed to make every effort to rescue the injured and do a good job in dealing with the aftermath, and at the same time to seriously investigate the responsibility of those responsible for the accident. Although the aftermath was dealt with very well at that time, quickly calmed down public opinion in the society, and dealt with a large number of people responsible for the accident from the stationmaster to the director of passenger transport, the 2-year-old boy left forever!

Zuo Jiang couldn't think of a good way after thinking about it for a long time, because with the power of one person, like a mantis arm blocking the car, it can't change anything at all, and this kind of sudden mass casualty incident can only be prevented from happening if it is fully prepared in advance. Zuo Jiang thought that his father Zuo Zheng happened to be directing the Spring Festival transportation work at the scene in Tongjiang. Only by directly reminding his father to draw his attention to this kind of thing can it be prevented, and when his father calls him tomorrow about the ticket, he will directly remind his father.

Tao Fei saw Zuo Jiang sitting there and didn't talk about it, and he was a little distracted. I couldn't help but ask, "Little brother." Why don't you talk about it, I'm listening to it fascinating? ”

Bai Xiaoyi said: "Yes." Little brother, the Spring Festival transportation of the railway is not easy! ”

Zuo Jiang was a little depressed when he thought of the boy, and when he saw Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi asking, he coughed and said: "The annual Spring Festival transportation work of the railway is like a big exam, and it is difficult to hand in a satisfactory answer sheet. ”

Tao Fei said: "Little brother, is there a more serious scene than this? I can't think of anything more serious than this, tell me, what is it? ”

Bai Xiaoyi also asked, "Yes, can there be a more serious scene than this?" ”

Zuo Jiang saw that they were all very curious, and he remembered the Spring Festival transportation that those "Zhiguang" personnel came back to tell him in his previous life, in comparison, the Spring Festival transportation situation of the Southern Railway can be called extremely grim, while the Spring Festival transportation of the Northern Railway can only be said to be a piece of cake.

Zuo Jiang sorted out his thoughts and said: "Sister, Sister Xiaoyi, the Spring Festival transportation of our northern railway is relatively better, and the pressure of the Spring Festival transportation of the southern railway is very huge, especially Guangzhou, Dongguan, Zhuzhou, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, etc., which are the top priority, where more than 100,000 passengers or even more are transported every day, and the transportation capacity of the railway is far from enough. Therefore, every year during the Spring Festival, the Ministry of Railways dispatches vehicles from the railway bureaus in the north to support the south and the Guangzhou Railway Bureau. ”

Tao Fei couldn't help but ask: "Little brother, where did so many people come from to take the car, how can there be so many?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "It is all people from all over the country who go to Guangdong to work, and they have to go home for the New Year, and this situation is only caused by the fact that one of the car inspectors who went to support said that the platforms are all on duty by the armed police to maintain order, and as soon as the body of the temporary passenger train enters the station and stops, there is no need for the conductor to look at the door, and the two armed policemen directly hold a door and start to put passengers on the train, and check the number of people while getting on the train, and close the door after the temporary train of this train leaves, and a temporary passenger train will come in again. In the same way, after the master is full, he drives the car, and he drives in this column every day, but there are still many people who can't get on the car. ”

At this time, Bai Xiaoyi asked: "Little brother, I heard you say that the capacity of a carriage seems to be 108 or 118 people, and 300 people in a carriage is not serious, can it ensure the safety of passengers?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Sister Xiaoyi, the railway passenger car body is not the same as the car, the railway object is calculated according to the load capacity, but because the space of a passenger car body is limited, only so many seats can be set, so the capacity is only so much, but far from reaching its load capacity, the safety standard of the passenger car body is reflected in the spring tension, for example, the railway regulations stipulate that the passenger train is not allowed to drive when the spring is crushed, and the spring is crushed to prove that it is heavy, and the car body and the wheels of the trolley are pasted together to ensure safety. ”

Bai Xiaoyi said: "Is there a situation where the spring is crushed to death on the railway?" ”

Zuo Jiang said: "Of course there is such a situation, otherwise how can the regulations be like this." ”

"What should I do if the spring crushes me?" Bai Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask.

Zuo Jiang said: "In this case, the passengers can only be evacuated and evacuated to other carriages, and if this situation occurs in the whole train, the passengers can only be mobilized to get off the train until the spring springs up." ”

Bai Xiaoyi asked again: "What if you mobilize passengers and they don't get off?" ”

Zuo Jiang thought for a while and said: "In this case, you may have to use the police force to enforce it, otherwise no one will be able to go if the car can't drive, and it will seriously hinder the traffic order of the railway, but I really don't know what the specific regulations are." ”

Bai Xiaoyi said: "Did you ever have this kind of situation? ”

Zuo Jiang said: "I heard from a car inspector who came back from supporting the south that this situation really happened, and in the end, when the persuasion of the station staff was ineffective, it was really enforced!" ”

Tao Fei sighed and said: "It seems that every industry has its own difficulties, if I didn't know you, I really thought that the railway would be very comfortable for a day!" ”

Zuo Jiang chatted with Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi until late before going to bed, and when he got up the next morning, Zuo Jiang said that he wanted to go home and wait for his father Zuo Zheng's call, so he went home early, and told Bai Xiaoyi when he left, and he would call her to tell her as soon as there was news about the ticket.

Zuo Jiang returned home at half past seven, he knew that the railway bureau was going to work at half past seven, and only by calling after work could he find someone, his father Zuo Zheng had to contact him at the earliest, after 8 o'clock, when Tao Fei came back, he didn't care about eating, and he didn't care about washing his face, so he went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then went to the kitchen to get a bag of instant noodles, cut a few slices of sausages, and turned on the TV in the living room. No matter where you are in the room, you will hear the phone as soon as it rings.

Zuo Jiang finished eating and washed the dishes and sat back in the sand to watch TV, until 8:30 The phone did not ring, he stretched out boredly, then the door was knocked, and then Erbao's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, are you at home, I am Erbao!" ”
