All members of the leadership team of the economic operation area and all the staff of the rescue headquarters gathered at the entrance of the rescue construction passage.
Everyone's face was very solemn, except for the roar of the machine, no one spoke.
As the progress progressed meter by meter, everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats.
The rescue work was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the person in charge of the exploration kept his eyes on the computer screen.
Finally, with an exclamation, the passage was opened.
The underground passage was as dark as ink, and it was impossible to see what was inside.
This is the general situation of the Yizhang mine accident. The entrance is a vertical passage, a full five hundred meters deep. At 300 meters, the channel began to expand horizontally. A horizontal channel is more than 200 meters long, and then vertically downwards, stretching to a depth of more than 2,000 meters underground.
After the accident, the landslide blocked all the vertical passages, but did not affect the horizontal passages. It did not cause landslides to another vertical channel.
That is to say, if a mining accident occurs, the 500-meter vertical passage will be opened to 300 meters, and the survival passage will be opened.
However, according to the analysis of the rescue records at that time, due to the unknown situation of the underground landslide, some people tended to give up the rescue. Their reason is that the landslide caused all the underground mines to collapse. With the current rescue level, the rescue goal cannot be achieved at all.
Xu Yishan restarted the rescue work this time because he invited the top domestic experts to conduct a comprehensive exploration of the underground mine. Through exploration, he found out that the culprit who buried 28 miners deep underground was only a short distance of 300 meters.
The results of the rescue show that the results of the exploration are completely consistent with the situation at the scene. This distance of 300 meters killed 28 fresh lives.
The elevator leading to the vertical mine was quickly erected. The rescue team is fully armed and ready to go down the well.
Mao Bing ran over and reported the situation, and asked Xu Yishan if he should go down the well immediately.
After Xu Yishan learned the whole situation, he cursed angrily, "These people who carelessly ignore human lives, their consciences have been eaten by dogs, they must be severely punished!"
A huge blower was set up at the wellhead to blow air down the well, and the sound of the wind in the well was turbulent, as if 28 people were crying in unison.
Xu Yishan ordered Mao Bing: "Prepare me a hard hat, I will go down and see for myself."
Mao Bing was taken aback, and quickly stopped him and said, "Secretary Xu, even if you risk your life today, I will not let you go down the well. The situation in the well is unknown at present, so we can only let the professional rescue team go down for exploration first."
Xu Yishan glared at him and said, "Do you believe that I dismissed you?"
"Remove me, and I won't let you go down."
The two fought, and other comrades hurried over to dissuade them. In the end, it was Lin Shaoxiong who made Xu Yishan give up his first request to go down the well.
Lin Shaoxiong said: "Secretary Xu, we all know that you are more anxious than anyone else. But professional matters should be left to professional people. When the situation in the mine is unknown and whether there is danger, you will not be responsible if you go down. responsible behavior."
Xu Yishan had no choice but to let it go. He told the rescue team who were about to go down the well: "Comrades, you must do your own safety work. Make sure that no accidents happen. We are all waiting for your return."
The first three-person rescue team entered the elevator and slowly descended underground.
Voices came from the intercom from time to time.
"Report to the headquarters, we have reached the wellhead of the cross section."
"Report to the headquarters, we have successfully entered the horizontal hole."
Suddenly, a whimper came from the intercom, "Report to the headquarters, we have found the remains of the victims."
Xu Yishan held the walkie-talkie tightly, his palms were soaked in sweat.
"I am Xu Yishan, please protect the remains of the victims." His voice also choked up, "Comrades, please pay attention to safety and protect yourself. You have worked hard."
The second batch of rescue team members began to go down the well. This time, six people went down.
?I heard that the bodies of the victims were found in the well, and the scene immediately erupted. The cries and cries echoed in the valley, like thunder rolling over people's heads.
Mao Bing opened the schematic diagram of the underground mine. At the place where the victims' bodies were found, he drew a circle with a red pen, and said sadly: "I didn't realize that this passage is nearly two thousand meters away from the place where they work. .How did he get to this passage down the well where the electricity was cut off?"
Xu Yishan couldn't restrain the severe pain in his heart, he sighed and said: "People's desire to survive?It can stimulate the huge potential of the body. Although we don't know how he got here for the time being, we can imagine that he tried his best but failed to see hope. What a sad result this is. "
The news from the underground has been reported continuously. Rescue crews have recovered eight bodies underground.
According to reports, the eight remains are well preserved and there is no damage to the remains. According to preliminary analysis, they all lost their lives due to starvation and dehydration.
Eight were found, and twenty miners are still missing.
The third batch of rescue team members began to go down the well.
The task of the rescue team that went down was to transport the found remains out of the mine.
Xu Yishan insisted on going down with the rescue team this time, but Lin Shaoxiong didn't stop him anymore. After all, the three batches of rescue team members who have gone down in the early stage have not found any dangerous problems so far.
Mao Bing asked to go down the well with Secretary Xu. Xu Yishan glanced at him appreciatively, expressing his approval.
The elevator slowly descended to the mouth of the cross-section well, Xu Yishan stepped out of the hanging basket, walked calmly to a corpse, and bowed deeply.
"I'm sorry, we're late." As soon as the words came out, his tears welled up in his eyes like rain.
The brought down lighting illuminated the mine cave brightly, and on the ground, the body curled up. Since the underground has been kept moist and at a constant temperature, the remains showed no signs of decay. It was as if they had fallen into a deep sleep, with no trace of fear visible on their faces, and they looked so peaceful.
No one knows what kind of ordeal they have gone through. But it is conceivable how cruel and painful the soul torture they endured when their hope turned into despair little by little.
The rescue team did not dare to move any of the remains. They lay in this crossing passage less than 300 meters away, looking so shocking and so sad.
The rescue team surrounded the dead bodies solemnly, no one spoke or moved.
Since there are still 20 remains that have not been found, the rescue has to continue. However, the next rescue is obviously much more serious.
First of all, how to go down to more than 2,000 meters underground has become a difficult problem. In the underground where there is a lack of electricity and machinery, human power seems so weak.
Secondly, where are the remaining twenty people?
The underground mines are criss-crossed and the terrain is very complicated. This is the real underground labyrinth, and people who are not familiar with it will really get lost if they go in.
Having calmed down, Xu Yishan said to Mao Bing: "Go back to the ground first, and hold an emergency meeting immediately."
