The Ganzi flash flood and mudslide in Sichuan hit the bridge, a disaster movie-like plot. The unpredictable natural disaster is really frustrating, what caused this tragedy? Come and see the inside story of the reveal!

Sichuan Ganzi flash flood mudslide hit the bridge

At about 3:30 a.m. on August 3, 2024, in the Kangding to Luding section of the Ganzi Yakang Expressway in Sichuan, a super serious flash flood and debris flow disaster suddenly occurred! This disaster not only directly washed away dozens of meters of pavement, which is simply terrifying; And the bridge between one of the tunnels was also completely destroyed!

In the footage of the video, you can see that the bridge that originally connected the two tunnels was crumbling when the mudslide hit, and then quickly collapsed, and the huge bridge piers were swept away, and the flood and mudslide continued to move along the mountain, like the plot of a disaster movie, which makes people shudder, which is really terrifying!

Data and authoritative data show that according to news reports, on August 3, a flash flood and debris flow disaster occurred in the area of Guwe Town, Kangding City, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province

As a result, several roads have been severely affected; Traffic was also completely cut off.

A number of cars have already been buried by mudslides.

So are there any people trapped in these vehicles?

What is their condition?

In response to these questions, the relevant local departments said that they were making every effort to search and rescue the missing people

So all of you: very concerned about the safety of the people in the car.

What is certain is that the mudslide is not accidental, it is very likely that it is the result of the combined action of human factors and natural conditions. Recently, there have been continuous heavy rains in Sichuan, so it is not surprising that such events have occurred.

Bridge design and construction issues

What are the reasons for the collapse of the bridge? What we want to rule out is the design and construction issue.

Whether on the road or in high-speed rail, the safety of bridges is extremely critical; Because it not only needs to carry the weight of vehicles, but also needs to withstand the test of various natural disasters.

Once there are design flaws, or cutting corners during construction, it is very likely that the bridge structure will fail, and in the long run, it will all collapse at some point.

In addition to this, as the transportation infrastructure continues to improve, the number of vehicles on the road, especially large trucks, is gradually increasing. Because large trucks are large and heavy, if an accident occurs, it is likely to cause serious personal injury and huge property damage.

Therefore, how to strengthen the control of large trucks has become an important task of current traffic safety management. On the one hand, the relevant departments should increase the inspection intensity of large trucks, and strictly deal with illegal behaviors such as overloading and speeding;

On the other hand, it is also necessary to strengthen the education and supervision of drivers to improve their safety awareness and driving skills. Only in this way can we effectively prevent and reduce the occurrence of traffic accidents and ensure the safety of people's lives and property.

These vehicles, while facilitating logistics and transportation, also bring a heavy burden to the bridge. They travel day and night, and overloading and overrunning occur from time to time, which undoubtedly increases the damage to the bridge.

In the long run, the safety of the bridge will be seriously threatened. How to solve this problem and ensure the safety of the people's lives and property has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently.

On the one hand, the weight of heavy-duty trucks far exceeds that of ordinary vehicles, and the pressure on the bridge during driving is extremely great. On the other hand, because of its large size and large turning radius, it is easy to form a lateral impact on the bridge when passing through the bridge.

How do you ensure the safety of the bridge? This issue has now become a key issue that the transportation sector needs to address urgently, and it is urgent for everyone to overcome this problem.

If it is beyond what it was originally designed to bear, even the strongest bridge will collapse.

Unforeseen natural disasters

Some people say that even if there is a problem in the design, it should be discovered during daily inspection and maintenance, so how can it wait until the mudslide is completely exposed?

It is important to mention that the power of natural disasters is almost unstoppable and unpredictable. Whether it is a design defect caused by human factors or a hidden danger accumulated by a long-term lack of maintenance, it is like paper paste in the face of natural disasters.

Especially in a province like Sichuan, which is prone to earthquakes and mudslides, even if all precautions are taken, there is no guarantee that it will not be damaged in the face of a sudden geological disaster.

However, in recent years, Sichuan and even the entire Yangtze River basin have repeatedly suffered from serious floods, especially since the beginning of July this year, it has become the norm to have heavy rains almost every day.

This kind of extreme weather not only brings great trouble to human life and production, but also accelerates the aging of building and bridge materials at this time, making their already not optimistic structures face greater challenges.

The emergency response has been initiated

This sudden mudslide really caught people off guard! We don't know the details of it or the casualties. But what is certain is that Ganzi Prefecture has acted quickly and activated a three-level emergency response.

At present, various rescue teams have arrived at the scene and are doing their best to rescue. During this period, rescuers focused on the physical condition of the trapped people; and to ensure safety as the highest priority; Wholeheartedly carry out emergency rescue work.

For highway traffic control has also been implemented, after the two-way traffic from Luding to Kangding is broken, the toll stations have been closed, and the main line vehicles need to detour. When there is traffic control in progress near Tianquan and Kangding toll stations, please pay attention to the guidance signals for passing vehicles.

epilogue

The power of natural disasters is so unpredictable! #长文创作激励计划#

Design issues, construction quality, traffic load, and other factors can all contribute to bridge collapses.

We sincerely wish the people in the affected areas peace and security, and at this time, we also call on everyone to be cautious when building transportation infrastructure, and be sure to put safety first!

It is hoped that the affected areas will be able to restore normal order as soon as possible and further strengthen disaster prevention and mitigation work!

Let's praise the affected areas and cheer them on!
