According to CCTV News, as of 22 o'clock on December 21, the 6.2-magnitude earthquake in Jishishan, Gansu Province has killed 31 people and lost contact with 3 people in Haidong City.
On the evening of December 21, at the scene of "Sand Chung" in Minhe County, Qinghai, firefighters excavated for 5 hours at a mud pile, and the firefighters picked up the mud and found a family of five who were killed.
Grandfather, grandmother and aunt sat in a circle to protect two children wrapped in quilts, one of whom was pregnant.
It's just that the miracle didn't happen, the firefighters dug up all the personnel, and the protection of family affection in the disaster made the rescuers cry, and there was a collective silence at the scene.
A netizen from Gansu said that he was an eight-month-pregnant woman in the disaster area, and was awakened on the night of the earthquake, and witnessed the scene in front of him, the windows around him shook, the harsh alarm sound of the mobile phone, and the sound of things falling down. Thankfully, the disaster spared them, and they escaped.
The family of five who were killed was buried by the sand surge, so what exactly is the sand surge?
When a strong earthquake comes, the earth's crust shakes violently, and the water-bearing sand deep underground will undergo a strong liquefaction phenomenon, and this liquefied sand layer will be squeezed along a certain channel, and it will directly reach the surface, forming a "sand surge phenomenon".
The sand surge phenomenon is a natural phenomenon caused by earthquakes, which is force majeure for human beings, and in the face of natural disasters, human beings seem very small.
May this rescue and disaster relief mission be successfully completed, pay silent tribute to the victims, and may there be no more disasters!
