At about 2 a.m. on May 1, a shocking major safety accident occurred on the Meida Expressway in Meizhou, Guangdong. At that time, a high-speed road surface located at K11+900 in the direction of Meizhou to Fujian suddenly collapsed, causing a number of moving vehicles to fall from a height of tens of meters, causing heavy casualties.
According to official reports, 19 people were killed and 30 injured in the appalling accident. One witness described the scene as "the end of the world", with loud noises accompanied by firelight flashing in the air, which was shocking.
Even more thrilling is the explosion of multiple vehicles that fell to the bottom of the pit after hitting the ground, and the raging fire mercilessly consumed the lives of the vehicles. The frightened cries for help from the poor trapped made the hearts of all who heard it ache.
The diameter of the collapsed "sinkhole" is about 18 meters, and the area is more than 180 square meters, which makes the vehicles that fall into it look like they are twisted and deformed. The rescuers who rushed to the scene later also lamented that the rescue work was very slow due to the narrow rescue road and the impact of the harsh environment at the accident site.
After eight hours of arduous rescue overnight, it was not until about 11 a.m. that the situation at the scene was gradually brought under control. Regrettably, however, many people are still missing, and the authorities are still investigating the exact cause of the accident.
In the face of such a heavy loss of life, it has undoubtedly brought unbearable blows and pain to the victims' families. But more importantly, this accident has sounded a major alarm to the whole society, and we must always pay attention to the safe construction and daily maintenance of infrastructure to prevent problems before they occur.
Experts point out that although the highway has only been under construction for a few years, it is very likely that such a tragedy could have occurred if there were irregularities during construction or maintenance, or if there were quality defects in building materials. Therefore, after the cause of the accident is investigated, the relevant departments must be open and transparent to the public, and make a reasonable explanation for all omissions and mistakes.
We never want such a tragedy to happen again. However, if we do not make great efforts at the ideological and management levels, the tragedy may always be repeated. Let us work together to build a safe China, avoid a recurrence of tragedies, and sing the hymn of the new era with our lives.
