The exact time of occurrence of Wenchuan Da** is:May 12, 2008 14:28:04.
Some people are taking a lunch break, some are in class, some are on the side of the road, some are driving, some are feeding the giant panda ......
In an instant,One burst of energy equivalent to 251 atomic bombsIt gushes out about 19 kilometers underground from Lianhuagou. In just 6 seconds, more than 3 million cubic meters of solid matter swept across the radius of 25 kilometers, pounced on the nearby town of Yingxiu.
* At the scene, some people said that they heard itThe loud sound of "setting off artillery"., by the reservoirThe hill "was like a burst"., a large area of the mountain seems to be "split down", and it is like "the sound of a heavy car passing by in the throttle state".
A large boulder on the mountain was blasted open, and a behemoth of nearly two hundred tons rolled down the mountain, smashing down houses and trees along the way, leaving a domineering passageThe houses that have been swept away are "all the scum".
First he shook slightly from side to side, then shook vigorously up and down, and the third swing was the most ferocious, and the bungalows on the ridge fell to the river at onceIt's like detonating a smoke screen, and you can't see clearly from a meter away.
It's not pure shakingIt's like something is poking under your feet.
Such terrible destructive power is uncovered without leaving any room for errorYingxiuThe first page of the most miserable.
The real epicenter is in Yingxiu Town, not in Wenchuan County.
Why Yingxiu?
The reason is that it is located right on the main fault zone of Longmen Mountain.
The U-shaped Xiuping Street, where Yingxiu Town is located, is surrounded by several mountains. It does not have a coherent slope like a normal mountain peak, but rises and retreats like a step. The locals name them more vividly: the first level is called Ertai Mountain, and the upper level is Santai Mountain. This is the trace of hundreds of millions of years of geological movementsA step signifies a violent crustal movement, reflecting the energetic confrontation of different geological plates.
The people of Yingxiu are not ignorant of this, they know that the rocks in the north of the town are different from those in the south of the town, but that's all, because they have nothing to do with daily life, no one continues to pay attention.
Until this 8Level 0 big ** is coming.
It has a scientific name called "thrust strike-slip type". In the conventional**, the horizontal acceleration will obviously exceed the upper and lower, that is, the shaking is worse than the bumping, but the "5·12"** is a strange action of the western plate of the fault zone jumping upwards and moving to the left at the same time, and the ground acceleration it brings also breaks the convention.
Life and death, depending on where you stand.
Yingxiu Town shrouded in smoke and dust, the houses collapsed, and more than half of the villagers were buried in the rubble. Some of the people who escaped and those who were rescued from the shallow layers formed a temporary rescue teamBefore the arrival of the professional rescue team, their unfolded theirSave oneself.
But most people are lost and at a loss.
Home no longer exists, relatives are nowhere to be found, there are strangers around you, and it is difficult to discern even the direction, and the meaning of life and the direction of the future are in**?
After a short period of panic, a new problem was ushered inWhat to eat? What to wear? Sleep**?
The snatch soon followed. Unattended supermarkets, food stores, and even cabinets in residents' homes quickly snatched up everything useful and valuable.
And these actions do not make people feel guilty, because they have just escaped death.
When order disappears, the tolerance of the individual's conscience expands until the two collide and a new order is established.
**Later, the fire, armed police, PLA, medical and other national professional rescue teams were quickly dispatched.
However, the mountainous terrain multiplied the difficulties it brings.
The first batch of advance reconnaissance teams entering Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan reported:
There were many serious landslides on the road into Yingxiu Town, more than 70 roads were damaged, all bridges collapsed, vehicles were impassable, and a large number of people were buried. The wounded are in dire need of assistance, and there is an extreme shortage of food and drinking water.
Roads and bridges were destroyed, and after the earthquake, heavy rain, strong aftershocks, mudslides, and landslides continued, making it impassable for traffic on the ground and in the air.
All the rescuers had to move forward on foot, and the relief supplies also had to be carried on their shoulders on the difficult road into Yingxiu Town.
This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of rescue and delays the rescue time.
At noon on the 13th, there began to be a succession of national professional rescue forces arrived in Yingxiu Town, before the rescue, they had already started a life-and-death struggle with the harsh environment on the road, covered with sludge and "dusty". However, upon arrival at the scene, no one stopped to rest, and they quickly launched a rescue.
Every step of the rescue has come at the cost of lives.
There is one for any rescue".**72 hours
Starting on the 14th,Thousands of soldiers, firefighters, armed police and medical personnel approached Yingxiu in an all-round way.
Divide water, land and air to "grab the beach" show.
Time is life, and more time is more life.
The road is impassable, so it is dredged day and night in multiple directions by water and land; If the vehicle can't work, everyone will go non-stop, over the mountains and mountains on foot.
Thousands of rescuers trekked across the five-kilometre "road of death" – massive amounts of mud and rolling rocks that could swallow anyone who passed through it at any moment.
In the face of natural and man-made disasters,The figure of the soldier can not only provide life help to the victims, but also a great comfort to the soul, many people saw the soldiers in camouflage uniforms kneeling down and crying excitedly: "The People's Liberation Army is coming!" We are saved! ”
More than half of the students in the hardest-hit primary school were buried, and it was one of the most difficult, task-intensive and stressful rescue sites.
Professional local fire and national professional rescue teams quickly launched rescue with instruments and equipment, and medical staff quickly pieced together and set up temporary operating rooms and operating tables, and made every effort to complete every precious relay of life, and transported the seriously injured to Chengdu all the time.
Time is their enemy, faster, faster.
Some of these rescuers did not close their eyes for days and nights, drinking only a sip of water and eating two or three biscuits a day. At the huge ruin site, the continuous high-intensity operation made them have no time to rest, dare not stop, and do not have enough supplies to wrap their stomachs.
Some may still be alive but will never hear the call of their loved ones again.
After the earthquake, a large number of rescue workers, journalists, volunteers and family seekers continued to pour in, and the shortage of materials was very serious.
Strong aftershocks, rainy weather, strong winds, and impassable roads have caused a new round of survival difficulties, which has brought continuous obstacles to the rescue.
The top priority is still the trapped peopleAll the rescuers did not dare to stop, they were fighting against their own physical limits, and they all burst out with amazing willpower.
As time passed, so did the trials of life under the rubble.
Some people have been buried for too long"Crush syndrome".
Compartment syndrome causes necrosis of muscle tissue and releases large amounts of myoglobin and potassium into the bloodstream. If the survivor is pressed all the time, the compression is like a tourniquet, and the blood that is full of "toxins" at the ends of the limbs does not cause damage to the body's organs. But once the oppression is lifted, like a flood, those deadly elements rush into the unsuspecting kidneys and hearts. Myoglobin mutates in acidic urine, clogging the renal tubules. High concentrations of potassium in the blood strongly inhibit cardiac contractility. The condition can quickly deteriorate, leading to acute kidney failure or cardiac arrest.
Once the pressure is hastily relieved, it will cause irreversible consequences.
The more time passes, the more dire the situation becomes.
But none of the rescuers gave up. In the face of disaster, the tenacity of life and the brilliance of humanity are vividly embodied.
Exactly seven days after the event, the moment of that catastrophe — 2:28 p.m. on May 19 — has been set to begin three days of mourning across the country.
"How do people react when something that humanity is proud of is defeated by another, greater power? When people are truly aware of their own insignificance in the face of the great tribulation, what do they rely on?
The answer lies in the commitment, courage, patience, sacrifice, compassion, struggle, and cowardice that those people embody. ”
