It has been more than 96 hours since the collapse of the Xinjia Hotel in Quanzhou, 28 people have been killed, and 1 person has been trapped.
The buildings in question involved originally only steel frames from the second to seventh floors. When the Xinjia Hotel was renovated before opening, the three to six floors were poured with concrete, and the hotel walls were separated by masonry walls. A merchant who was involved in construction business at the time said: "At that time, there was no reinforcement on the first floor, and five or six glasses on the first floor burst."
A number of merchants who have contacted the legal representative of Xinjia Hotel, Yang Jinzhang, said that Yang Jinzhang is a person who values interests in particular and does not think long-term: "He and many merchants have had trouble with money."
This afternoon (March 11), Executive Deputy Mayor of Quanzhou City, Hong Ziqiang, introduced at a press conference that after preliminary investigation, Xinjia Hotel had serious problems in construction, renovation and approval. Relevant evidence has been collected and solidified, mandatory measures and property preservation measures have been taken against relevant responsible personnel, and the preliminary investigation will be submitted to the superior investigation team.
Xinjia Hotel is the local medical observation point of new coronary pneumonia. Hong Ziqiang said that investigations will be conducted on all aspects of the building's construction, renovation, and operation, including the reasons for selecting it as an isolation point, and those responsible for violations of laws and regulations will never be tolerated.
Operators: Many people say that they pay special attention to benefits
Xinjia Hotel covers an area of 5 acres, with a building area of about 7000 square meters and a total of 7 floors. It is a steel structure house. Construction began in 2013. It was transformed into Xinjia Hotel in 2018 and opened in June of that year. 66 rooms.
“Looking through the on-site pictures, the steel frame materials used in the construction of the house are too thin.” Song Gang, a teacher and architect of the School of Architecture of South China University of Technology, analyzed the background of the building involved and the pictures of the site ’s tilt and collapse. It was illegally rebuilt. "He explained that the ordinary building became a hotel, which changed the original design and construction of the house, so it can be concluded that it was illegally rebuilt.
Li Si (pseudonym), who has been involved in construction business, said that he settled in the construction in 2013. At that time, the building in question was just completed. There were only steel frames in the building, and most of them were empty. From the second floor, you can directly see the seven-story floor. He introduced that there was no solid wall on the first floor of the building, all of which were glass doors and windows: "Several columns look concrete, but they are actually steel pipes and wooden boards."
Industry and commerce information shows that Xinjia Hotel's registered name is Licheng District Xinjia Hotel, which was established on March 28, 2018. The business scope is accommodation services. On August 19, 2019, the business site of Xinjia Hotel was expanded from the sixth floor to the first-floor lobby and the fourth to sixth floors. The Beijing News previously reported that Xinjia Hotel had been punished administratively three times for failing to register for accommodation in accordance with regulations, and was once included in the list of abnormal operations by the Licheng Branch of the Administration for Industry and Commerce of Quanzhou City.
The information of Tianyan Inspection showed that 100% of the shareholders and legal representative of Xinjia Hotel in Licheng District was Yang Jinzhang. He is also the legal representative, executive director and general manager of Quanzhou Xinxingji Electric Trading Co., Ltd.
Li Si introduced that when the Xinjia Hotel was renovated before opening, the three, four, five, and six floors were poured with concrete, and the walls were separated by the wall: "At that time, there was no reinforcement on the first floor, and five or six on the first floor. The glass was bursting. Our merchant talked to the owner about it, but the owner ignored it. "He felt in danger and then moved away.
Song Gang told the Beijing News reporter that during general housing construction, construction plans and use instructions must be submitted to the housing construction department. In 2013, when the houses involved were built, there were only the first and seventh floors, and the second to sixth floors were supported by steel, which was hollow. However, in 2017, the third to sixth floor slabs were re-concreted, and partitions were installed on each floor. Supplies such as beds and washstands undoubtedly increased the pressure on steel.
Yang Jintao does not have much business. As early as February 2006, Quanzhou Xinxing Machine Electric Trading Co., Ltd. was established. The national corporate credit information disclosure system query revealed that this company had a registered capital of 3.3 million and paid 330,000 yuan. The main business scope is production and processing machinery accessories, and sales of mechanical and electrical equipment (excluding special equipment), electronic products, and building materials ( Excluding chemical dangerous goods), hardware, department stores.
Several merchants who have had contact with Yang Jinzhang said that Yang Jinzhang is a person who values interests in particular, and it is not a long-term consideration: "He and many merchants have had trouble with money."
Survivors: moisten bed sheets with urine to increase humidity when trapped
Sixty-nine hours after the incident, You Shaofeng, a 24-year-old Zhejiang Taishun guest from Room 405 of Xinjia Hotel, was rescued. He is currently the longest survivor searched and rescued. He is now being treated in the hospital. Lying on the bed, You Shaofeng was wearing a mask, followed by a sphygmomanometer on his arm. He was in good spirits.
"It ’s sour. I have n’t bowed for three days. I have n’t stretched my back. The bow is there, the floor is not flat, and I ca n’t lie down.” On March 11, You Shaofeng recalled the Beijing News reporter to the ruins. For 69 hours, "I dare not think about my family for a second, but I am afraid that my heart will collapse."
At the time of the incident, You Shaofeng was standing next to the bed, and an iron plate suddenly fell on it, forming a small space with the bed, bedside table and table, which happened to be in this space. Thanks to this space, only his feet were crushed by the stones, and other parts were not seriously injured.
After being buried, You Shaofeng judged that it was impossible to go out on his own, so he decided to try his best to preserve his strength: "I just sleep, and I ca n’t sleep without shutting my eyes. If I hear the voice of rescue workers, I will hit the pipe with stones."
Although he had escaped the fatal injury, there was no water source or food under the ruins. You Shaofeng was thirsty for a while and could not move his body. He told the Beijing News reporter that at the limit, he soaked his urine with the sheets, and then put the sheets in front of him, hoping to increase the humidity of the air and not make himself too thirsty.
Under the ruins, You Shaofeng heard many times that rescue workers were rescued from the nearby rooms, and even clearly heard someone shouting "Anyone?" Every time he made a similar sound, he speeded up the tapping of his hands.
"When I couldn't stand it, I felt safe when I heard the voice of a firefighter, at least two days more," You Shaofeng recalled.
In the afternoon of March 10th, the commanders of the Quanzhou City Fire Rescue Detector used the life detector to detect the presence of suspected signs of life in the field. The fireman shouted with a horn: "If anyone, you knock."
"Well!" At 14 o'clock, firefighters heard the sound of being trapped in the rubble. The person who struck was You Shaofeng.
A member of the Fujian Provincial Fire Rescue Corps involved in the rescue recalled that everyone was looking for the trapped people at that time, hoping to hear the voice: "As a result, we really knocked. We felt that we heard hope. I said, otherwise you would knock Sound, and he really knocked twice. Make sure this person is really inside, and then we start working. "
A firefighter involved in the rescue told the Beijing News reporter that due to the complex structure of the collapsed building, there were both I-beam steel columns and reinforced concrete floors and brick-concrete floors, and manual demolition was difficult. Firefighters used gas cutting and hydraulic demolition to open rescue channels.
At 15: 3, You Shaofeng said he saw the light. Immediately afterwards, the firefighting commander at the scene used the equipment such as snake-eye detector to determine the location again. You Shaofeng said, "I can hear you punching."
After insisting on working in this position for two hours, rescuers made a small mouthful. At 15:20, the firefighter continued to widen his mouth, opened a rescue passageway that only one person could enter, and entered the cave to talk with You Shaofeng to encourage him to hold on.
At 15:30, the rescue channel extended a little. You Shaofeng handed out the remote control around him and gave it to the fire rescue workers who spoke with him. This action gave the rescue team a psychological encouragement. The team members continued to work in this position, opening the hole wider and larger, and then rescued him from the ruins with the cooperation of You Shaofeng.
Rescuers told the Beijing News reporter that You Shaofeng said a word when communicating with them before being rescued, which moved them: "I'm from 405, I heard that all of the 403 have been rescued, I firmly believe that I must Will be rescued by you. "
Rescuer: Pour mineral water on your head to refresh yourself when you are sleepy
At the press conference on March 11, Hong Ziqiang, executive deputy mayor of Quanzhou City, introduced that 2,000 people have been involved in the rescue.
During search and rescue, rescuers used electronic signal search and rescue aids to find mobile phone signals, manually listened to confirm the location of mobile phones, search and rescue dogs to find signs of life, and life detectors to identify trapped persons, and then used buried rock drills to dismantle and clean up with bare hands. Crushed rock, rescue the buried personnel.
The long-term, high-intensity rescue operations have tested the physical fitness and perseverance of many rescue workers. The Beijing News reporter noticed that some rescue workers were sleepy, so they poured mineral water on their heads to refresh themselves. If they couldn't support it, they fell to the side of the road and took a short rest.
With the deepening of rescue, the difficulty of rescue is increasing.
At 23:01 on March 7, search and rescue dogs suddenly barked at a gap in the operation area of Xiamen Fire Rescue Detachment. Fire rescue personnel quickly brought another search and rescue dog to make a second confirmation of the area where the suspect was trapped.
After further detection by the life detector and listening to knock echoes, fire rescue personnel determined the location of the trapped person. In order not to cause secondary injuries to the trapped people, and to be able to rescue them quickly, the fire rescue personnel decided to use the method of "downward vertical first, then horizontal digging" to avoid the demolition operation directly above the trapped people. .
After the passage was opened, firefighters Hu Jun, Hong Luo, and Tang Limin successively entered the passage and relayed alternately. After more than an hour of hard rescue, a three-year-old boy was handed out from the entrance by three people. Rescuers covered the child's eyes and wrapped the rescued boy in a blanket, and rushed to the ambulance.
The child was the 32nd rescued on the day of the incident. At 0:21 and 0:23 on March 8, the child's parents were also successfully rescued by rescue workers.
