<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > man drove a forklift to save 69 people</h1>
At 8 o'clock on July 20, Gaomiao Village, Mihe Town, Gongyi, Henan.
Liu Songfeng, a 39-year-old forklift driver, did not think that one day, he would become a lifesaver for 69 people.
At 8:00 a.m., Liu Songfeng (headline number @ Mihe forklift Liu) took his family to take refuge in the Gaomiao Village Committee. Less than 20 minutes after sitting down, Liu Songfeng heard someone shouting for help. The water was nearly one person high, and he saw two buses trapped in the torrential rain, one washed to the side of the road, the other stuck in the sewer, and the vehicle had tilted significantly. Of these people, 65 are new teachers in colleges and universities, and more than half of them are masters and doctors.
People used ropes, sticks and other tools to carry out rescue, trying to pull people to the shore, but they were unsuccessful. In turbulent currents, all tools are washed away by the current. Liu Songfeng, who has 20 years of shovel driving experience, thought of using a forklift to rescue. It happened that there was a keyless forklift parked nearby, and Liu Songfeng quickly started the forklift with a wire and drove towards the bus.
In the muddy water, Liu Songfeng felt that the steering wheel of the forklift had some fluttering, and the brakes also failed a little. With years of experience, he drove the forklift quickly closer, adjusting the bucket to the roof and allowing trapped people to enter the bucket. Soon, he rescued the trapped person in the first car. Subsequently, Liu Songfeng drove a small road to the side of the second car, and along the way saved two people hanging from trees, and finally successfully rescued the trapped people of the second car.
After seeing that everyone was safe, Liu Songfeng breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's a person, a car of people!" In this torrential rain, the repair shop that Liu Songfeng has operated for more than a decade was also washed away, but he believed, "As long as people are still there, there will be everything." ”

Just after noon, Zhang Kai (headline number @ Storm Boat Rescue Zhang Kai) accidentally learned that there are many residents trapped on the roof nearby, in urgent need of rescue. He thought that his friends Zhang Junqi and Gao Shengli had a storm boat, and quickly dialed their phone.
After getting ready, the three of them drove the SUV to the scene. The rainstorm continued unabated along the way, and the car was soon blocked by heavy water. The three men unloaded the storm boat and immediately threw themselves into the rescue. The storm boat is driven upside down, and the tacit cooperation of the three people can be completed to complete the rescue. Zhang Junqi and Gao Shengli, who have experience in storm boats, are responsible for driving the boat in turn, while Zhang Kai is responsible for watching the road and carefully looking for trapped people along the way.
The torrential rain continued, the water was rising higher and higher, and only all kinds of roofs were left in view. The first to be rescued by Zhang Kai was a 70-year-old man who was awakened by a sudden rainstorm while asleep and was subsequently trapped in a tree on the side of the road.
On the way forward, Zhang Kai saw 7 or 8 victims on the roof of the factory in front of him, and they transported the rescuers to a safe place in three batches. The sky gradually darkened, the heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping, Zhang Kai and others used the last fuel to save the six police officers of the Fenshui Town police station, and then used the car to take everyone back to the Nantun Village Committee to take refuge.
In the 6 hours of saving people, the small storm boat was like a fragile "single seedling" that capsized at any time in the 3-meter-high water and heavy rain, and although he recalled that although he was a little afraid, Zhang Kai did not regret it: "Give me another chance, I will still go to save people without hesitation." ”

He frantically smashed the car window with the key, but failed to crack it with all his might. Fortunately, at this time, the big brother next to him found the fire extinguisher, and with the sound of a glass cracking, the window of the car was smashed open.
"Live!" Wang Yangyang thought to himself. After escaping from the carriage, he settled his terrified wife and walked along the cable rack on the outer wall of the car to the front of the car. The wife was anxious and asked him what he was going to do, and Wang Yangyang said, "You obey, I will go to save people." ”
Boom, boom, once, twice, three times, I don't know how many times it was used, Wang Yangyang smashed open one side of the glass, he dragged his body to another window, once, twice, another side of the glass was broken. Wang Yangyang, who was already exhausted, could not break the third window, but at this time, the air in the carriage had begun to circulate, and rescuers were arriving...
