High-grade collapse disaster of Xinmao Village rescue disaster relief 72 hours

At 5:45 on June 24, 2017, Aba Maoxian diexi new mill village early in the morning, crushed by the collapsed mountain of wealth. In just 100 seconds, an extremely large landslide screamed at the new village group rushing to the foot of the mountain.

At a longitude of 103.7 degrees east longitude and 32.1 degrees north latitude , the disaster occurred. The beautiful village that produced pepper and plum blossoms was hit hard. As of 23:26, the "6.24" high collapse disaster Maoxian diexi new mill village mountain caused a total of 10 people were killed, 93 people lost contact, three people were injured.

72 hours after the disaster is the most critical "golden search and rescue time."

In the “Golden 72 Hours” with worrying enthusiasm , from Aba, Chengdu, Ya'an, Deyang... More than 3,200 rescue forces and more than 150 vehicle vehicles rushed; from day to night, propaganda, exploration, and rock , digging and throwing, search and rescue are kept for a moment; send water, deliver meals, participate in search and rescue and resettlement, local people watch for help.

General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping made important instructions at the first time, demanding full efforts to organize search and rescue of buried personnel, and do their utmost to reduce casualties, prevent secondary disasters, and ensure the safety of life and property of the people.

The important instructions of the general secretary have effectively guided the disaster relief work that puts life in the first place and takes every minute to fight.

From the Central Government to Sichuan, people-oriented and life-oriented concepts have always been used throughout search and rescue and resettlement.

In June , it was the best time of the year in Xinmao Village, which was located deep in the mountains of western Sichuan. The mountains were green, the fruits and fragrance were fragrant, and the grass in front of the village was full of flowers and flowers. However, the sudden disaster that occurred three days ago made all this disappear.

The huge landslide body was buried in a village with a fan, buried the road and buried the river. Rolling rocks, people in front of the boulders everywhere, if small ants eggs. People who arrived have no time to cry, and self-rescue and rescue begin immediately.

Life and death racing, human life off. Soon, more than 100 people were reported to the county, state, and province until the party's central government.

After the disaster, the Party Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance, and General Secretary Xi Jinping immediately gave important instructions.

Li Keqiang, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Premier of the State Council, issued instructions and requested that full efforts be made to organize search and rescue efforts to minimize the number of casualties and to investigate the hidden dangers of nearby geological disasters, transfer threatened people as soon as possible, and prevent secondary disasters.

Zhang Gaoli, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, also gave instructions on rescue and rescue work.

Under General Secretary Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, State Councilor Wang Yong represented the Party Central Committee and the State Council. The State Council Working Group hurried to Maoxian County to guide emergency rescue and rehabilitation work.

The disaster situation is the order, and after many major natural disasters inspections and improvement of Sichuan's comprehensive disaster reduction and disaster relief emergency command system operation, provinces, states, and counties immediately launched a large-scale disaster response and emergency plan.

Wang Dongming, secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, gave instructions at the first time asking for an immediate mobilization of the rescue force to do everything possible to save the lives of the people and pay attention to preventing secondary disasters.

At 12 o'clock noon on the 24th , Wang Dongming, deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and governor Yin Li, reached the site of the mountain collapse disaster and observed the disaster on the ground. They persisted for the first time in the following days. Wang Dongming stressed that we must take saving lives as the top priority. Emergency rescue headquarters was established on the scene.

In fact, after the disaster occurred, with the order of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, a race against time had begun.

6:15, Maoxian fire squadron received a public warning, immediately sent four cars to rescue 18 people. At 7:00 , the local transportation department rescue personnel arrived at the scene of the disaster and cleared an access road.

To Maoxian, public security, armed police, fire fighting, militia and other rescue forces, gallop, and then gallop. Transport helicopters in the Western Theater took the medical team emergency.

More than 220 kilometers of roads from Chengdu to Maoxian disaster site are needed. Whether it is the assembling of rescue forces or the transfer of wounded people, it requires a "life channel" that can be quickly reached.

8:30, as irrigation, Wenchuan, Chengdu beltway launched the emergency mechanism, open rescue channel to ensure that rescue vehicles quickly and free passage. Aba Prefecture initiated control on the National Highway No. 213 passing through Mao County , and set up remote diversion control points in Wenchuan, Songpan and Heishui. Social vehicles were diverted ahead of schedule to ensure maximum smoothness of the main line.

Villager Qiao Dashuai was rescued by a family of three. They were chased by the debris flow and met rescue workers who arrived in time. They were sent to the Mao County People's Hospital for treatment and then transferred to Chengdu for treatment.

On the 24th of the same day, huge rescue forces from all over the province gathered in a narrow working space and raced against time to conduct search and rescue.

From day to night, do not abandon, don't give up, do not give up the belief to encourage search and rescue operations, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must give a hundredfold effort

"Fellow, in the absence, return a message Well!" At 12:30 on the 25th, the rescue scene, a rescue team and leaned over, put your head in a crevice, hoist the voice shouted up.

Before that, the life detector discovered that there were signs of life under this place. Immediately, dozens of rescue team members and multiple machines arrived on the scene and rushed to the scene with emergency assistance. They dig, explore, dig, and explore again.

Time passed in one minute and one minute. Soon, three hours later, lunch time arrived, but the rescue did not stop. A group of teams was exhausted. Another team immediately took over, continued to excavate, and never gave up.

The rescue of geological disasters is a worldwide problem, and the disaster relief in Xinmao Village is even more difficult. The largest landslide has a maximum drop of about 1,600 meters and a plane sliding distance of 2,500 meters to 3,000 meters . According to geologists' analysis, the landslide collapse is huge, the impact speed is fast, and the destruction is strong in an instant. It is difficult for the rescue to create a miracle of life.

“Grab the prime time, grab a minute and a second, do everything possible, go all out to search and rescue.” The provincial disaster relief headquarters has a firm attitude. The western theater command group made it clear: “What is needed for disaster relief, the theater will do its utmost to invest what.” All rescue team members also vowed: “One-line hope, one hundred times effort.”

The sky is raining and the top of the earth is rolling down. Overshadowed by the landslide, bright red flags and orange rescue jerseys have brought hope after the disaster.

"Are there still people?" The rescue team scattered along the Song Ping River. To get the respondent's response, they shouted and shouted loudly at the gravels on the ground, shouting and shouting.

The post-disaster image of the Surveying and Mapping Geographical Information Bureau shows that the buried area is the deepest 40 meters , which is equivalent to ten multi-story buildings. It is not easy to find a signal of life under such a thick covering. As the fire brigade and the armed police arrived one after another, more life detectors and rescue dogs were put into the rescue.

The Songping River, which was once blocked by landslides for 2 kilometers , broke through the corpse body and reduced the risk, but it also made it difficult for river search and rescue. Fire officers and soldiers first passed hand-holding hands over the icy river, then set up a rope bridge to transport personnel and equipment to ensure that the search and rescue had no dead ends.

At 14:00 on the 24th , the rescue team found a signal of life on the south side of the village. The rescue team stopped the excavator and turned the soil with a hoe and hand. Three hours later, they sadly gently lifted the remains of a couple.

The night is gradually coming. 17:20, the first rescue scene lighting emergency lighting lamp, then all 8 groups of temporary lighting device energized 20:00.

Keep it all the time and stay up all night. From time to time there are suspected signs of life and the signals weaken from time to time. Li Xiangtai, Coordinator of the Dujiangyan Blue Sky Rescue Team, understands what this means: As time passes, the body temperature of the occupants is getting lower and lower, and the display on the thermal imager is getting weaker and weaker until it disappears.

Running with Death can only be faster. "Do not give up any one." Deyang, Mianyang fire officers and soldiers followed a suspected life signal search and rescue more than 5 hours, but the final signal disappeared. The relatives of the victims voluntarily requested to abandon the excavation. A fire officer said, "I'm sorry, fellow."

"I hate myself for having only one pair of hands!" Chen Pu, a one-eighth-meter deyang firefighter, shed tears. Erasing tears, he rushed to the next job site to continue his search.

The third night after the disaster fell again, and the fatigue of continuous combat allowed rescuers to constantly overstretch their physical strength to the limit. However, with " 72 hours of gold" in mind , they did not give up.

Under the night, search and rescue continue.

From search and rescue to resettlement, we must respond to effective measures, open and transparent disaster relief systems, and ensure the safety of life. We must provide both scientific and safe rescue services.

Starting from noon on the 24th , at the intersection leading to the Xinmaocun landslide body, dozens of armed policemen stood in a row and all those who were not professional rescue teams would not be allowed to release. On the 25th , such identity screening was more stringent.

"Let professional people do professional things." In Li Xiang's opinion, this just reflects the spirit of scientific rescue.

The geology of the Xinmao Village disaster site is complex, and the landslide body covers a wide area. At the foot of the mountain is a small river formed by the flooding lake. The top of the head is a steep cliff that is exposed after the collapse.

It is necessary to search for lives, but also to install risk-avoiding people, but also to escort foreign tourists to leave. At the same time, it must not be able to cause secondary injuries, multiple tasks interweave, and how can rescue be done in an orderly manner?

24, established the Sichuan disaster relief frontline headquarters, on this basis, based on operational need, the provincial government has set up on the evening of 24 disaster relief headquarters, under the on-site rescue teams, medical aid group, ensure smooth transportation group, There are 8 working groups such as the transfer exclusion team, the mass work team, the information publicity team, the missing team, and the protection and reconstruction team. Each team performs its duties and cooperates with each other.

Among the many professional rescue teams, the “rescue assistance team” formed by the villagers of Xinmao Village appeared very special. On the 25th , they officially entered the field operations.

Most of them have escaped from the disaster because they are working outside and studying. “My brother’s home is right here, facing the tree on the other side of the hill. The current river is the vegetable garden of my family.” At 9 o'clock on the 25th , on the 25th , the hometown was in the village’s central army, meticulously guiding the driver of the Armed Forces Hydroelectric Force. Operate excavator.

With his memory, he took out a pen and drew a map of the houses of the five families. The Yanjia in the north and the Zhangjia in the south were all ten-meter-wide residences. The houses were all connected together... Wipe the tears back. The townspeople provided more accurate guidance for the rescue team to locate the houses under the landslide.

The appearance of this team is closely related to a search-and-rescue model called “gridwork and rescue in slopes”. From June 25 began, the landslide is divided into ten pre-grid, each guarded by rescue teams to divide our forces, and collaborate with each other.

At noon that day, less than four hours, the three small squadrons of the three armed police hydropower squadrons completed the search and rescue operations in their respective regions. At the time of the transfer, the head of the team, Liang Jianzhong, put a circle behind the corresponding three grid points and let the soldiers mark the completion of the operation area. He said, "This will not be a gimmick, but a stick in the west will also eliminate search and rescue."

Infrared imagers, sound wave detectors, radar detectors and other technological equipment and methods have been used in the rescue, with at least 44 life detectors in one square kilometer . After three hours of excavation, he has detected five times. Infrared life detectors and radar life detectors have alternated. The depth of burial has been reduced from 7.6 meters to two meters. On the noon of the 25th , search and rescue personnel were eager to create something on the southeast side of the Songping River. miracle. Rescue workers said that with advanced technology, search and rescue work is even more powerful.

At 16 o'clock on the 25th on the 25th , six measurement drones interpreted the disaster through aerial images. On the morning of the 26th , a giant unmanned aerial vehicle with eight propellers lifted off. It can draw a three-dimensional model of the landslide mass with centimeter accuracy. , to provide scientific basis for the organization of rescue.

Rescue science, but also to rescue it safely. In the face of the occasional scene of rolling stones, the provincial party committee and the provincial government repeatedly emphasized that the rescue of casualties on the scene due to secondary geological disasters must be avoided.

The only slope radar detector in the domestic safety supervision system arrived in Maoxian County. It can measure the small displacement and deformation of the mountain surface at a long distance. Once there is a precursor to the collapse again, it can be quickly detected and issued a warning within a few seconds to remind rescue personnel on the scene to evacuate as soon as possible.

154 stranded tourists are worried about the factors that restrict their evacuation. At 22:30 on the 24th, under the joint efforts of rescue teams at the scene, about 2.4 km of sidewalk preliminary get through. At 15 o'clock on the 25th on the 25th , 154 stranded tourists escorted by the Aba military division and local militia escort, walk through the collapsed area, and then ferried by the bus to the entrance of the Song Ping Go scenic area, set foot on the way home.

In the emergency rescue, timely, accurate, transparent and transparent release of authoritative information, so that public opinion generally praised.

As of the evening of the 26th , the Provincial Government Information Office held seven press conferences on the frontline of disaster relief to promptly respond to all concerns.

What is the reason for the landslide, and "5.12" Wenchuan earthquake if relevant, why the village does not move, if there are hidden dangers in the future? In response to these hot issues, the sixth press conference was invited to the Ministry of Land and Resources experts to answer questions.

Aba State has published a list of 118 missing associates and the “Family Seeking Hotline,” which has responded to public concerns and accelerated the process of verifying information.

"The two brothers and sisters on the list are still alive." " Five people went to the mountains to survive the disaster." ... Similar information has continued to spread, warming the public and injecting spiritual energy into the rescue. As of 23:26 May 118 lost contact staff of 15 people confirmed safe.

From party members to folks, they stood up and watched for help. They conveyed their firm belief in perseverance and defeated the disaster. The party and the group were united and marched side by side.

"I am a member of the party and must stand up." In the disaster, the party secretary of Xinmao Village, Bai Baigang, was unfortunately lost. When the village suffered a great disaster, it lost its backbone.

Will the new mill village fall? In times of crisis, there is no doubt.

To eliminate doubts, at the critical moment, Yan Shulun, a former Party secretary of Xinmao Village , who has a party age of 17 years, took the heavy burden and was appointed as a temporary village party secretary.

At 22 o'clock on the 24th , on the 24th of the 24th , just after finishing the rescue scene, regardless of fatigue, Yan Shunlun rushed to the Diexi Town Center Elementary School 10 kilometers away from the village , where 86 affected villagers were housed .

The sky was dark and traffic jams. Yan Shunlun only got out of the car on foot and trotted. When he arrived at the school, he immediately came to the middle of the village. When the meeting came, the panicked villagers gathered around.

Later, under the initiative of Yan Shunlun, several young and middle-aged villagers formed a "rescue assistance team." Some women were arranged for cooking, cleaning, and there was a new atmosphere in the previously noisy settlements.

A party member is a torch that illuminates the rescue and resettlement work in Xinmao Village. At the resettlement site , 100 Party members and volunteers participated in the reception and resettlement, providing almost one-on-one service for party members and cadres for each affected people.

Where does the party flag go and where does the party members bravely move forward? Zhao Jinfei, the Minister of the Special Military Department of Zhenping Township, Songpan County, brought 28 militiamen to the party. The militiamen of the Party members all asked for permission. The 45 -year-old Zhu Yongchun was no longer a militia but he said that he was experienced and must go.

In the " 72 Hours of Gold ", the scenes of night-time battles are moving. Many people do not know that Party members and cadres are rushing forward and are fierce. Once they are replaced and rested, many people will fall asleep while sleeping.

The relatives of those who lost their lives in Xinmo Village and their relatives who lost contact also wiped away tears and declared war on the disaster with tenacity and strength. Wang Bin’s relatives, such as the big brother and uncle, were buried. He did not go to the scene to help, but instead insisted on working at the frontline. He is a police officer of Maoxian County Traffic Police Brigade. "Only diverting traffic can make more rescue teams enter the scene and win opportunities for survival."

The parents of 19 -year-old Wang Qi’s parents and 14 other relatives lost contact. He rushed home from the eastern part of a tour tonight . He wiped tears and applied to the Maoxian Armed Forces to join the militia rescue team. There are Wang Yunjiang, director of the emergency department of the Mao County People's Hospital, who lost 5 of his relatives but has been fighting hard in the disaster area.

The action of the model is the best inspiration. The people of Maoxian also started to take action. At the beginning of the rescue scene, there was a lack of excavation equipment. The nearby villagers of Baiwa Village drove an excavator to support them. The Chenglan Railway Construction Unit, not far from the site of the incident, carried dozens of large-scale machinery such as loaders and excavators to support the rescue. Everyone wants to make a contribution. By the 25th , on the 213 State Road, in the section of the Shi Da Pass township, excavators of various sizes and types were lined up for several kilometers of orange long queues.

Fearing that the rescue team and the affected people could not eat, many villagers in the surrounding towns and villages walked more than 10 kilometers to Xinmao Village. The villagers who gave breakfast to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning were prepared to deliver to the rescue site before 7 o'clock.

Taiping Township, Maoxian County and Xinmao Village are separated by 20 kilometers . Sister Xiong, who delivers meals, said: “When the Wenchuan earthquake struck, they came to help us, and this time we also came up with something.”

From emergency relief to resettlement and reconstruction, the road in Xinmao Village has only just begun. Yan Shunlun comforted the villagers. "So many people are concerned about us. We must be more self-reliant, unite, and overcome disasters."
