Accidents always come suddenly, in 1942, in the northeast of our country, there was a shocking thing that shocked the world, this is because of an explosion in a mine in the northeast, this explosion caused many miners to die in this explosion, according to people's statistics, this incident caused the death of more than 1500 miners, how did this incident happen.
At that time, the accident site was in Benxi, Liaoning, where the mineral resources were abundant, and the Japanese occupied it during the colonial invasion, exploited the resources here, hired people from the Liaoning region, and then supplied them to the Japanese.
Especially in 1942, at this critical juncture, the Japanese not only had to intensify their aggression, but also had to face the plan to open up a Pacific War. Against this backdrop, the Japanese put pressure on the miners to step up their work, and the explosions followed.
On April 26, 1942, what was supposed to be a time for the miners to rest, it was suddenly broken by the Japanese. The Japanese, armed with weapons such as sticks, rudely kicked open the dormitories where the miners were resting, looked at the miners who were still asleep, and whistled. While blowing, he screamed and got up to work.
The miners were awakened from their slumber by a sudden whistle, and even if their hearts were full of anger, they had to bear this grievance. The miners got up from their beds with hazy drowsiness and heavy bodies, and then they descended into the mines of Benxi Lake.
The workers in the mine began a busy day of work again, the facilities in the mine were going on as usual, near lunchtime, the Benxi Lake mine suddenly lost power, in the face of the power outage, quickly sent people to repair, and when the repair was completed, the time was already in the afternoon.
During the blackout, a lot of soot gas remained in the mine, because the exhaust facility was not operating, and after the call, the mine had an accident.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the mine, and then a black mushroom cloud appeared in people's sight, and people reacted to it, which was an explosion in the mine.
People rushed to the mine mouth and saw that the mine mouth had been blown out of shape, the iron shelves around the mine mouth had been blown into iron blocks, the opening into the mine was completely sealed, and the workers in the mine were trapped in it. Workers outside the mine and inside the well could not be contacted and the specific circumstances inside the well were not known.
The explosion spread quickly, families trapped in the mine wept outside the well, and people rushed to rescue operations.
Soon the Japanese managers came to the scene, and when the Japanese knew that the Japanese were trapped underground, they issued an order to the rescue team that came down to the rescue, asking that when they went down to the well pit, they should save the Japanese first.
In addition, the Japanese also did a sad thing, that is, they no longer delivered oxygen to the trapped people underground, and the workers in the underground were choked to death due to lack of oxygen, and some people died of gas poisoning.
When the rescue team went down to the well, the rescue team went all the way down the track, and on the way, we saw a lot of vicious-looking people, and the desire for oxygen and life in their eyes was so strong. Rescuers examined the men one after another, making sure they had died and then put them aside, searching for survivors.
The rescue team found the Japanese in one place, and the rescue team moved the Japanese people to the ground, and after the doctor's treatment, the Japanese survived. In addition to the Japanese, a dozen survivors survived, who survived in a relatively safe place and covered their nose and mouth with some clothing.
After the accident, more than 1,500 bodies were found, as well as some Japanese, and the incident became the worst of the miners' incidents.
After this incident, the Japanese did not feel a trace of guilt, hastily disposed of the deceased workers, and announced that it was just an ordinary incident. The person responsible for the incident was only fined, not actually punished.
This incident is actually completely avoidable, but the Japanese know that after the power outage, and then restore the power supply, it will cause the occurrence of underground accidents, and after the accident is not remedied in time, it can be seen how ruthless the Japanese are, if the underground is Japanese, will they be so indifferent? Is there such a disregard for life?
epilogue:
In fact, the reason for such a lack of attention is ultimately the national situation at that time, when we were in a state of aggression, since the Opium War, we have been invaded, it is precisely because of our poverty and weakness that we will be bullied.
Time has come to the present in the blink of an eye, we are no longer the old China that was bullied, we have become a powerful country in the world, exerting our own strength, and becoming more and more recognized by the world. Please express your opinions.
