The collapse of the Guangdong Expressway has caused 48 deaths, and the old chairman of Guangdong Road and Bridge was picked up, and it may be difficult to get out
Forty-eight lives were lost in vain, who caused this tragedy? The collapse of the highway should not have happened in peacetime. In this May Day holiday, which should be joyful and festive, it was shrouded in clouds and lingered.
Bloody scene
At two o'clock in the morning on May 1, the originally peaceful Meizhou Dawan Expressway suddenly collapsed, and a full 17.9-meter road surface was opened a big opening. Twenty-three vehicles flew down a three-story cliff and slammed into the ground. In an instant, someone died on the spot, someone was stunned, someone was trapped in the car and couldn't get out...
The tragic images of car crashes and deaths can be seen everywhere, and the eyes are full of devastation. The process of waiting for rescue is a painful ordeal for many of the injured. From the long night to the dawn, how many families have been broken, and how many relatives have not been reunited.
When a loved one dies, tears dry and hateful
On 2 May, 12 more wounded people died, and the number of 48 killed was staggering. The extinguishment of 48 lives means how many families have fallen into despair, how many children will never see their parents' faces again...
Relatives continue to post on the Internet, complaining about the death of their loved ones:
"My brother and sister-in-law died in this nightmare... They just want to hang out with their kids..." "My father had planned to drive to Guangzhou to see me, but now I will never see him again..."
After the tears dried, only hatred was left in my heart. Who is to blame? Who should pay for this tragedy? The relatives are filled with righteous indignation and want to thoroughly investigate and find out.
Complaints escalated, and the quality of construction was questioned
Behind this major accident, people first pointed the finger at the construction party - Guangdong Road and Bridge Construction and Development Co., Ltd.
The registered capital of this company is as high as 9 billion, and the background can be described as strong: the Provincial Communications Group, Yuecai Holdings, the provincial government, and the Provincial Department of Finance are all shareholders.
The head of the company, Wang Chunsheng, as a graduate of the road and bridge major, has an excellent reputation in the industry.
However, when this company was building the Meida Expressway, there were serious quality problems such as landslides and roofing. The report at the time also exaggerated this fiction and gave it full praise. In retrospect, it was a great irony. In the end, how did the top leaders go through the motions and cover up the quality problems? This led to today's tragedy.
On the other hand, where does the investment of more than 90 million kilometers go? Is it true, as netizens suspect, that most of the money has been squandered by subcontracting and subcontracting?
With such a heavy investment, the road conditions are so worrisome, the construction party really gave a complete "straight man answer".
Regulation is unfavorable, and accidents pay a heavy price
In addition to the alleged quality problems of the construction party, the operator of the expressway is also to blame.
Meida Expressway is operated and managed by Dachao Expressway Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Guangdong Expressway Group. As practitioners, how can they turn a blind eye to the landslides that occur along the route, and are regular inspections a formality or a serious loophole?
Facts speak louder than words, and the collapse was a blow to the operator, and the price was so painful.
The leadership is bluffing, and formalism is harmful
In addition to the construction and operation of the two companies, the Guangdong Provincial Communications Group, as the higher-level competent authority, is also preventing major negligence. In particular, Cai Conghua, chairman of the group, is burdened. Just a few days before the accident, while inspecting the construction site, he also advised: "We must improve the quality of service and flood prevention work to ensure that the highway is fully unimpeded during the May Day period." "
Now that the accident came, as soon as this scene came out, it suddenly became the laughing stock of the whole network. One can't help but ask: Is Chairman Cai's inspection a bluff and a misguided view, or is he sincerely thinking about the people? Such a major omission cannot shirk the responsibility.
Man-made disasters or natural disasters, how big is the involvement?
In response to the accident, the leaders of Guangdong Province have responded by bowing and apologizing. But for the innocent victims, any apology pales in comparison. The death of a family member is like a stranger, and he is grief-stricken.
It is an unforgivable fact that human error and error took 48 lives out of thin air. The only way to make up for relatives is to reveal the truth to the world through a rigorous and thorough investigation.
It is necessary not only to thoroughly investigate the construction, supervision, and other parties directly involved, but also to trace the entire process of the accident: Is it an ordinary engineering accident, or is it involved in crimes such as embezzlement, bribery, and abuse of power? How big is the scope of the accident and how extensive is the scope of the accident? It is necessary to investigate to the end and never be soft.
Whose fault was it and at what cost? This tragedy shocked the whole country, and 48 lives were immortalized. For their sake, the truth must be revealed.
