Green tile roofs exposed to the water, above the five-star red flag is still fluttering, all miserable ......
Chongqing Third Military Medical University Xinqiao Hospital "earthquake relief medical team", is the first to reach the Li County medical troops. 13:38 on May 16, more than 40 experts group At 13:38 on May 16, the 40-strong team of experts, including 12 specialists, encountered a 5.6-magnitude aftershock with its epicenter in Li County, only 3 kilometers away from the convoy, which was witnessed by Sichuan TV reporters who were also present at the time:
The aftershock lasted for two minutes. The TV reporters were traveling in a narrow area surrounded by mountains on three sides, the road (at 15:19 at the time of writing, there was a tremor, about 10-20 seconds, I do not know where another aftershock of at least 5 magnitude occurred ...... just learned that it was Dujiangyan aftershock 4.3) on one side of the river and mountains, the other side of the wall is not visible to the sun, in front of the About a hundred meters ahead is a straight cliff. Before the aftershock, a group of specialists from Chongqing's Third Military Medical University was rushing forward, and the reporter's convoy pulled over to make way. Not long after, the mountain began to shake, boulder debris churning with a lot of dust sliding down, a moment of flying sand and stones, covering the sky to avoid the sun, the convoy of people all out of the car, called as far as possible to avoid. The team members are wearing masks and sunglasses, only the cameraman just focus on the camera, forgetting everything, until he felt breathing difficulties, nosebleed long flow before another person to continue shooting. From the whole picture taken by the reporter of the shaking ground (the lens was covered with dust and mud spots), we saw that all the people there were y isolated and helpless, and could only leave it to God. A field reporter from the Third Military Medical University crouches by a small ditch with his back to the camera, worried about the convoy of specialists who have just entered the landslide.
Nearby, local rescue and relief teams have also gathered. There was a local doctor busy. Workers said that he has been from the beginning of the trauma bandage for the injured, there have been dozens of hundreds of people. The local doctor also told the reporter that the vertical stone cliffs a hundred meters away, locally called "full of stars", because in heavy rain and other abnormal weather, often sliding down numerous stones, the environment is quite harsh.
At this point, Sun Hanjun, the vice president of the Third Military Medical University, led part of the team to arrive, while most of his team remained behind in Gaojiazhuang, 7 kilometers away. He knew that his comrades might be buried in the danger zone ahead, calmly and quickly set up a temporary rescue and self-rescue command, organizing people to collect the vegetables from a nearby vegetable field on a high slope, and set up two tents in the vacated open space as a command center and medical point, and the medicine and foodstuffs that had been transported up to the tents were moved into the tents. Vice President Sun told everyone to have strong courage and be calm.
The aftershocks subsided. The sun shines. But here and now, the people (there were 500~600 people trapped) were very far from peace and quiet. A female reporter, clearly frightened by the danger she had just witnessed, was isolated and exposed to the treacherous situation with her colleagues, not knowing whether they would make it out alive or not. She was very grateful to Sun, the vice president of the Third Military Medical University, and Wu Lian, the executive vice mayor of Li County, who rushed to quickly organize everyone, stabilize the mood of the people present, and establish confidence in overcoming the danger, and was so excited that she was somewhat unable to control herself.
Wu, deputy governor of the tent, and only 3 kilometers away from the Li County with a walkie-talkie, requesting heavy equipment to send the collapse of the road blocked. At the same time, we learned the good news that the expert convoy of the Third Military Medical University had already crossed the danger zone at that time, and only lost two vehicles.
Everyone clapped and cheered.
At this point, a worker who had his shoulder broken and his spleen injured by a large rock that rolled down from the aftershock earlier was carried down. The doctors of the Third Military Medical University, immediately gave the injured man surgery, the operation was very successful. During the operation, the mountain was still collapsing, and the doctors performed two surgeries in a row without fear of danger. Sun, vice president of the Third Military Medical University, proudly took out a list and said, "The doctors are all babies, they are all PhDs, usually in the hospital are big-name professors it. We brought good instruments, good medicines, the injuries of the wounded were quickly stabilized."
At night, everyone sat around a campfire and sang local folk songs, and morale was boosted ......
At 6 a.m. the next morning, reporters from Sichuan Television set off with the troops, and the road was littered with mud and gravel, but they eventually reached Li County.
