"About ten seconds, the water rushed down"
According to reports, a visitor at the scene said
Many people camped by the river or in the shoals that afternoon
The river swells quickly,
Someone didn't react at all and was washed away.
Another escapee at the scene said that when he saw the flood coming, he asked his family to evacuate quickly, and when he looked back a few seconds to see the sky and car he was camping, he was washed away. According to live video, a man clung to his child in the floodwaters.
Many people were stuck in the middle of various stones
Mr. Su, who was playing in Longcaogou in Longmen Mountain, Pengzhou, told reporters that at about 3 p.m. on the 13th, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and then found that a major flood was coming. He hurriedly asked his colleagues at the scene to contact each other and tell all the tourists who were downstream to run down. He recalled that some people had already been swept away by the flood, so he rushed to save people with his colleagues. Since there are many stones in the river, many people are stuck in the middle of various stones. Fortunately, the water was shallow at first, and Mr. Su and his colleagues successfully rescued the two people.
"There were dark clouds at the top of the mountain, and the people at the bottom of the mountain didn't realize that it was raining in the mountain." Mr. Zhang, who escaped the disaster, said that at about 3 o'clock, he heard someone under the road shouting "Run, the water is rising", and looked at the sound and saw many people running towards the side of the mountain. "In about ten seconds, the muddy water above rushed down, mixed with a lot of debris: wooden blocks, the sky canopy when playing, swimming circles..."
The man clung to the child in the flood.
Ms. Wang said that at the time of the incident, she and her lover, an 8-year-old child, were about to cross the river to the opposite road, "When we crossed the river, I heard someone on the riverbank shouting 'flash flood is coming', and as soon as I turned back, I saw the flood coming along the river. ”
"The location where I was trapped was relatively safe, but the location of my husband and children was dangerous and they were more than 10 meters away from me. People nearby wanted to save me, so I pointed to my husband and children and asked them to save them first. By then the water had gone over my husband's thighs and reached my child's waist. There was a tall rock next to my husband and he was holding the child up and trying to put the child on the rock, but the rock was too steep for them to climb up. "Ms. Wang said that fortunately, someone on the shore rushed over, broke the iron railing, and saved them," my lover told me later, he saw someone being washed away from him. ”
Among those who were washed away were children
Ms. Xu, who was also at the scene, was playing with friends that day, and one of them suddenly panicked and insisted on going ashore. Less than three minutes ashore, they heard someone screaming, and then they saw suddenly water coming upstream, and some of them were washed ashore by the water. Still others are unaware of the seriousness of the situation and are slowly moving upwards.
At about 3 p.m., the water became more and more intense. Due to the urgency of the situation, the managers wearing red vests in scenic spots tried to maintain order on the shore, but "the on-site network was not good, and the information could not be sent out."
Ms. Xu also told reporters that when she evacuated the scene at about 4 p.m., she witnessed people being swept away by the floodwaters, "There are many people in the water, their legs and faces are purple, and the flood is very cold." And there are children among those who are washed away."
Ms. Xu said that the weather has been very hot recently, and many Chengdu people will take advantage of the weekend to drive themselves to the nearby scenic spots to play in the water. When she drove home, she felt that the traffic was significantly higher than usual, the traffic was more congested, and it took about two and a half hours to get home.
Wild Internet celebrity punch card land, is a flash flood drainage canal
Mr. Liu, a tourist from Chengdu, Sichuan Province, said that Longcaogou is a summer resort, and he goes to play every week, "Today the temperature is 38 degrees Celsius, the sky is clear, or on weekends, there are many parents with their children to play in the water." ”
It is understood that Longgugou is located in the boundary ditch of Zhongba Village and Baoshan Village of Longmenshan Town, Xiaoyudong Town, Pengzhou City, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, and in recent years has been called "Net Red Niche Water Playing Land" by netizens, and "punch card strategy" can be found on multiple social platforms. However, longcaogou is a ditch that undertakes the task of discharging floods when flash floods break out, which is very dangerous.
Before the flash flood, many people did not realize the danger.
According to informed sources, the place of the incident is not a scenic spot open to the public, some areas are blocked by barbed wire, and a sign of "forbidden to play in the river" has also been set up, but there are still many tourists who do not listen to discouragement, "I don't know how it passed." Mr. Liu also said, "This place is not a scenic spot, and there have been floods in Pengzhou before." According to CCTV News, on July 10, due to the surge in the river caused by torrential rains, a family who had camped by the river was trapped in Hexin Island in Longmenshan Town, Pengzhou, and was rescued to escape.
Warning signs erected locally
According to the Pengzhou Emergency Management Bureau, before the incident, the Longmenshan Town Government immediately organized town and village (community) cadres, patrol members and volunteers to persuade tourists playing along the river in their jurisdiction to leave, and some tourists failed to evacuate in time and were involved in flash floods.
The reporter noted that on the evening of the 13th, the Sichuan Provincial Fire Rescue Corps announced the situation of fire rescue in the flooding of the Pengzhou River.

In the face of flash floods, how to defend against danger?
Flash flood refers to the surge of floods that occur in mountain streams and ditches, and it is usually encountered by torrential rains and flash floods. So how should we tell if a flash flood mudslide has occurred, and how to scientifically defend against danger?
There are generally two signs of a flash flood mudslide:
First, the normal flow of water in the river (ditch) bed suddenly increases and is accompanied by more firewood and trees, which can be confirmed that a mudslide has formed upstream.
Second, a similar train roar or muffled thunder came from deep valleys or ditches, even if it was extremely weak, it could be considered that mudslides were forming.
Summer is the season of mudslides
When traveling in summer, you should try to avoid landslide areas
In order to ensure safety, when traveling in the mountains, choose to camp in the wild, choose a flat highland as the camp site, and try to avoid the slopes with rolling stones and a large amount of accumulation, or the bottom of valleys and ditches.
If you encounter heavy rain or torrential rain when playing at the bottom of the ditch, you should quickly move to a safe highland, and do not stay at the low-lying valley bottom or under the steep hillside to avoid and stay.
In the event of a mudslide, stay calm, immediately run to the high ground on both sides of the ditch, and do not run upstream or downstream in the direction of the ditch.
After the rainstorm has stopped, do not rush back to the ditch to live, you should wait for a while.
Everyone must choose
Safe place to cool off
Don't pursue "internet celebrities" and go easily
Danger zone!
