Netizens spoke out
The voice of many netizens is that they want to thoroughly investigate whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? If it is a man-made disaster, they hope to investigate the responsibility of relevant personnel and relevant units:
Personal voices
We don't guess, thunderstorms have occurred frequently in Guangdong in the past few days, rainfall in the south is frequent, and landslides and landslides are very likely. This highway also had a landslide last year, even if there is no responsibility for the project, the unit in charge of the highway is also responsible, because last year it was also because of the heavy rain caused the landslide, this year's long-term rainstorm hit Guangdong, why did the highway not go to investigate or why this highway is not closed, a high-speed that has a landslide must do a safety investigation or there is a similar danger when it needs to be investigated or closed.
Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, we will not speculate, and wait for the State Council investigation team to make a thorough investigation and make it public.
There are still many days of thunderstorms in the future, and the relevant regulatory authorities should strengthen prevention and inspection, and do a good job of prevention.
