On December 1, in order to salvage the body of a fisherman, the blue sky rescue team in Handan, Hebei Province, overturned the boat in the waters of the Zhanghe River, causing 7 people to fall into the water and 2 people to die. On December 3, witnesses at the scene told Jimu News that before the incident, they saw that the Blue Sky Rescue Team had been searching the lower reaches of the river for nearly 20 days without success, and only on December 1 did they expand the search scope upstream. At the time of the incident, a total of three rubber boats were launched. The first rubber boat overturned as soon as it reached the rolling dam, the second rubber boat went to the rescue but the overturning accident occurred, and finally the third boat did not get close to the rolling dam and thus remained safe.

Villagers gathered by the river to discuss the matter

On December 3, Jimu News reporters saw at the scene that the Zhanghe River slowly flowed through wei county, with a width of 50 meters, but formed two rapids when it flowed through two rolling dams. There is a warning sign against the danger of water depth and a banner to prevent drowning accidents along the river.

Two days after the incident, some local people still discussed the matter by the riverside, lamenting the sacrifice of the rescue team. Mr. Zhang, a local villager, witnessed the incident on the afternoon of December 1. He told reporters that in order to salvage the body of a fisherman, the Blue Sky Rescue Team had been searching nearby for nearly 20 days. On the 1st, the rescue team began to expand the search scope upstream.

Banner to prevent drowning accidents

In the afternoon, he stood on a gentle slope under the Zhanghe Special Bridge in Weixian County and saw a boat carrying three members of the Blue Sky Rescue Team on the river. "It was smooth at first." Mr. Zhang said that the first boat gradually approached the rolling dam, the water flow was getting faster and faster, the water kept slapping the boat downward, and the boat suddenly overturned. He saw three members of the boat fall into the water and grabbed the hull of the boat, but the current kept lapping at the bodies of the three team members, one of whom followed the boat to the river bank and was successfully rescued, while the other two struggled in the water.

At this time, the second ship on the shore set out for rescue, but when the ship approached the rolling dam, it rolled over again, and the crew fell into the water. "I wanted to save it but couldn't save it." Mr. Zhang said that they watched from the shore and wanted to help rescue, but no one dared to risk launching without professional equipment. Subsequently, a third rescue vessel was launched, rescuing the members of the first two boats who had fallen into the water. After the team members were rescued ashore, someone rescued them.

Mr. Zhang also introduced that when the fallen sailors were rescued, a woman knelt on the shore and cried, and kept kowtowing to them, and the woman was the family of the fishermen who were searched and rescued.

Incident waters

Local villagers also introduced to reporters that in previous years, the flow of the Zhanghe River was small, and the rolling dam where the accident occurred was only a "small waterhole", and many people around them would go to the boiling dam to play in the water. "The flow in the river has calmed down today, and the water was even greater a few days ago. This year, there was a lot of rain, and the amount of water in the Zhanghe River became larger. Some time ago, the upstream dam also discharged floodwater. The villager said.

At about 2 p.m. on December 3, jimu news reporters also saw at the scene that members of the blue sky rescue team in Nanle County, Henan Province, dropped a bouquet of flowers by the river. The team member said that he did not know the two team members who were killed, but only came to worry about the sacrifice of his colleagues. As he left, he said to the surrounding villagers who came to inquire: "Rubber boats are not suitable for such waters, and they need to be storm boats." ”
