This year's May Day began with a tragedy, when a landslide occurred on the Meida Expressway, causing 20 vehicles to fall and be buried. So far, 24 people have died, and 30 more are being treated, and it is hoped that the death toll will not increase.
What caused the road collapse? Judging from the pictures at the scene, it was a mud collapse below the highway road surface caused by heavy rain. Whether it is a natural disaster or a problem with the quality of the high-speed pavement is worth investigating.
Ordinary working people want to take advantage of the May Day holiday to take their families out for a trip, or go back to their hometown to visit relatives and friends. I set off overnight with great expectations, just to avoid high-speed traffic jams, but I didn't expect it to become a life-threatening talisman.
If this had been a normal landslide, there would not have been many vehicles passing by, and such a catastrophe would not have occurred. A moment of silence for the victims who have died, and hope that there will be no fear and no car accidents in heaven.
20 cars were buried, trapped in a whirlpool of mud, and they couldn't push the door to save themselves, so they could only wait to die in the car. The car at the bottom was even worse, it was stuck in the dirt in an instant, the vehicle was crushed and deformed, there were no lights, and before there was time to react to what had happened, life was frozen.
If there is a child in the car, it is even more devastated, as a parent, when danger occurs, the first thing I think about is how to let the child live. Seeing the children suffering along with it broke the hearts of adults. It is really called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual.
It is hoped that the highway section will strengthen the extreme weather response plan, and a freezing rain during the Spring Festival will make everyone trapped on the highway for several days and nights, and they can only rely on dry food in the car to survive. Such a tragedy has not yet attracted the attention of the authorities, and since there were heavy rains before May Day, no personnel were arranged to patrol them? If the landslide could have been detected in advance and intervened early, this catastrophe would not have occurred.
Sad, pathetic, pitiful.
