Chapter 734: Many People Are Trapped
On the third floor of the New Era, there were also some people who watched the cruise ship suddenly break down when they notified them to evacuate to the evacuation area, and they were very unimpressed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, the New Era has a little malfunction just now, although we are actively troubleshooting, but, due to the direct power outage, we can only dispatch all the staff to help the guests temporarily evacuate to the evacuation area, please cooperate."
"The power is off?"
"It's not going to be a cruise line that's going to add money, is it?" She said this like a housewife, the kind who often watches TV while doing housework at home. She is very aware of the situation reported on TV that travel agencies charge tourists in disguise, and this time the child arranged a luxury cruise trip on the Yangtze River for her to fulfill her filial piety.
"Didn't you say that there was a temporary failure, we will wait in our own room!" There are also people who are afraid that the cruise line will adjust their existing rooms to others and are reluctant to leave.
There are also people who want to have a leisure, aren't they here to travel? Thinking about it, let's fix a room along the way: "Yes, we won't leave." ”
"Please cooperate, safety first, now is not the time to talk about anything else."
"Don't say it's so scary, think it's a movie?" Some people also look at the current air-conditioned room, which is very quiet and comfortable, and a very normal environment, so why do you want to do anything to transfer. And some very scary big truths.
"Please evacuate here with us, it is likely that the fire will spread here!" The cruise ship staff really couldn't persuade everyone, so they had to tell some truths, and they were afraid of causing panic and overreaction.
But there are always some people, no matter what they say, who are reluctant to leave and evacuate to so-called shelter areas.
"What do you mean, it's not going to confiscate our room, is it going to be adjusted to some backdoor person?"
"There is no such thing, now it is safety first, I hope everyone will not waste time."
"Who's delaying?"
"That's it! The room we booked, not let us live, let us transfer to what refuge floor, it is better to be economy class! ”
"Sorry sir, we don't have economy class. We will never adjust your existing room, but now is a very dangerous time, please follow the command, safety first. ”
Some tourists, seeing that the cruise ship staff were really worried and anxious, also felt that something might really be wrong, so they agreed to transfer: "Okay, we will follow you to transfer." So many people testify, troubleshooting, please also restore our current room. ”
"Of course, hurry up, let's all evacuate quickly."
As he spoke, the lights began to flicker, and soon, all the lights went out. At the same time, it was found that all power sources were gone.
"Don't panic, the power supply is interrupted due to the malfunction, please move to a safe evacuation area quickly with our staff."
The power was gone, the lights were gone, everyone began to open the curtains, open the windows, and a thick smoke had begun to enter the third floor, and they could all smell the smell of burning.
Someone began to shout: "It's on fire!" ”
This shout is much more effective than the persuasion of the staff just now, and everyone is no longer so leisurely. Someone began to pack their bags, someone began to shout and rush to the top of the stairs.
But by this time, it was too late. The fire on the first floor, which spread rapidly upwards from the two staircase passages in the middle of the cruise ship, quickly blocked the passages on the second and third floors in the middle of the ship.
The middle of the first, second and third floors were blocked by fire, and the tourists on the fourth floor were like the tourists on the second and third floors, but at this time, the power supply was not gone, the air conditioning and lighting were stopped, and everyone opened the windows and found that the entire cruise ship seemed to be overwhelmed by billowing smoke.
At this time, the personnel on the fourth floor and above are very quick to cooperate with the cruise ship staff and actively go to a safe place and the designated refuge area of the cruise ship.
According to the deputy captain of the cruise ship, as soon as the fire accident occurred, the captain received the report as soon as possible, and immediately ordered the first mate to lead the hotel management personnel to quickly rush to the safe refuge area, mobilize and understand everyone, and promised everyone that the safe refuge floor is very safe.
The first mate of the cruise ship has been in contact with the captain at the beginning, and knows that the management personnel in charge of the navigation business of the cruise ship, under the leadership of the captain, have been doing the evacuation of tourists on the second and third floors.
However, there are still some tourists and staff who have not been successfully evacuated and transferred.
Mu Tianyu learned from the first mate that at the time of the explosion in the cabin, it was estimated that there were about 21 to 22 people in total, including the technical workers at the scene, who were trapped in the middle of the second and third floors, where the fire was the worst.
Due to the luxurious decoration of the luxury cruise ship, the walls of all the rooms are basically all wooden, and the better rooms, including the suites, have soft brocade packaging on the walls.
And like the presidential suite, the walls are even leather packaging.
Although the decoration packaging materials are in accordance with the norms and standards, they have been treated with a fireproof coating. But the fire resistance can only be less than half an hour.
Therefore, the captain took everyone to the middle place first, and after entering the room, he closed the doors and windows, and quickly filled the sheets and quilts with water while there was still a running water.
In addition, everyone is provided with a wet towel, which can be used as a filter mask when the smoke finally pours in, delaying the harm of breathing excessive air and smoke.
The managers on the third floor, of course, know that they have some protective measures in place.
What Mu Tianyu was worried about, and the most fatal thing, finally happened.
The location of the fire is the independent power supply room. Originally, under normal circumstances, the power supply of the fire and sprinkler pump room located in a separate independent power supply room did not start working.
Therefore, under the normal operation of the cruise ship, the maintenance of a separate independent power supply room can be carried out.
However, it may have been a welder's mistake that caused the fire and exploded, causing the fire to quickly spread to the normal power supply system.
As a result, the entire power supply system was paralyzed in a short period of time, causing the entire cruise ship to lose power at once.
Moreover, there are also hidden dangers in the fire protection design of cruise ships that exceed the scope of standard specifications, that is, in the absence of standard specifications, there are unexpected fire protection problems in the construction of luxury cruise ships.
First of all, in terms of building structure, it constitutes a natural rapid diffuse loop of fire and smoke; Secondly, the independent backup power system, its own fire prevention ability is insufficient, originally in the event of a power failure or fire, should be able to automatically start the backup power system for fire protection work.
But now, it is the backup power system that has caught fire and caused damage to the main power system.
As a result, all the fire hydrants in the passages on each floor became useless decorations, and the sprinkler system did not work at all.
