Knock on steel pipes and drink dirty water to encourage and comfort each other. They survived 7 days of life and death

  For the rest of his life, Zeng Tonghua smiled

Xian Zhangming tells about his 7-day trapped experience

Workers were rescued by rescuers

  "If only one person was trapped, it would definitely not be possible..." On the morning of the 4th, two of the workers who were rescued after being trapped for 7 days due to the collapse of the tunnel, reverted to Chengdu Business Daily-Red Star News reporter that they were trapped for 7 days The whole process of thrilling survival.

  Workers Xian Zhangming and Zeng Tonghua said that they could not hold on after being trapped for a day. They made a straw and drank water mixed with gasoline in the hole. One person even drank his own urine to maintain his life. In 7 days, they rely on an elderly machine to watch the time, and every time they take a break, one person will observe the surroundings. They encouraged and comforted each other until they were all rescued...

  At present, the physical conditions of the three rescued workers have improved significantly, and all physical indicators have basically recovered, and they are currently being consolidated and rehabilitated.

  Collapsed, the initial threat of fire may be smashed in three rounds and smoke

  On May 22, three people lost contact due to the collapse of the tunnel under construction of the Yongzhong branch channel of the Wudu water diversion project in Houba Town, Jiangyou City. After 176 hours of intensive rescue, at 8 o'clock on the evening of May 29, the three workers in the trapped tunnel were successfully rescued and subsequently sent to medical treatment.

  At about 18:00 on June 3, Xian Zhangming, who was treated at the Second People's Hospital of Jiangyou City, was transferred from the ICU to the general ward. On the morning of the 4th, Zeng Tonghua, who was treated at the 903 Hospital in Jiangyou City, was transferred to the general ward. The doctor said that after full treatment, their physical condition has obviously improved, and all physical indicators have basically recovered, and they are currently consolidating and rehabilitating. The reporter was informed that another worker was still being treated in Jiangyou People's Hospital and his vital signs were stable.

  Xian Zhangming, a 48-year-old Hanzhong from Shaanxi Province, opened the slag machine. 62-year-old Jiangyou Chonghua Town Zeng Tonghua was responsible for cable management with him. Another 58-year-old Shen Jiansheng fired three rounds. One group is responsible for slag removal.

  Zeng Tonghua first discovered the danger.

  Xian Zhangming told reporters that Zeng Tonghua was in charge of the line management, and Shen Jiansheng opened the fire three rounds behind them a little bit. At that time, Zeng Tonghua shouted "drop the stone", and called him to stop the fire. He immediately stopped the slag scraper, and then the three walked a few steps, and collapsed in the direction outside the tunnel. They were all trapped in the tunnel, and the three rounds of fire were also smashed in half.

  On the morning of the 4th, at the 903 Hospital in Jiangyou City, when the reporter saw Zeng Tonghua, he was infusion and he was in a good state of mind. Recalling that when he was just trapped, Zeng Tonghua felt terrified. He said the first thing that threatened them was the smoke from the three rounds of fire.

  "It may be that the stone hit the third round of the fire, or maybe Shen Jiansheng touched the switch when he fled. The three rounds of the fire rang loudly, and a lot of thick smoke came out, irritating us." , Shen Jiansheng took a risk, climbed to the third round of fire through a narrow gap, and turned off the three rounds of fire, the smoke slowly disappeared, "Shen Jiansheng once told us that the three rounds of fire may burn for several hours If it is not turned off in time, the smoke may choke us to death."

  Light and water, with hope

  Run your mouth with extremely unpalatable water

  Three people were trapped in the tunnel, and the power was cut off. Fortunately, each person had a headlight. The younger Xian Zhangming reminds everyone that because he doesn't know how long he will be trapped, he will save the headlights first and turn on one by one, or even not.

  Then the three of them thought of a way to turn on the power by themselves. Xian Zhangming first removed the bulb on the slag picker, and then Shen Jiansheng and Zeng Tonghua found a wire. Shen Jiansheng connected one end of the wire to the battery of Huo Sanlun and the other end to the light bulb. At this time, the light bulb turned on.

  "With the lights, the worries in our hearts are reduced a little, and this light bulb lasted more than a day before it went out." Xian Zhangming said.

  On the first day of being trapped, the energy of the three people was good, and they also worried that the tunnel would continue to collapse.

  "How long did the rescued person bury for the longest during the 2008 earthquake?" In a tunnel about 6 meters long and 1 meter wide, Xian Zhangming smiled and asked the other two people to ease the atmosphere. How long is it sleepy?"

  Some of them answered more than 90 hours, some answered more than 100 hours, this time, they chatted for a long time. Xian Zhangming and Shen Jiansheng are also smokers. When they were first trapped, they used smoking to relieve their depressed emotions.

  The oldest, Zeng Tonghua, was physically weak after being trapped for a day. Xian Zhangming introduced that because they had breakfast at 7 a.m. and then started to work, they just got off work at the time of the incident, so physical exertion was very fast.

  In the trapped tunnel, there was only a pool of water on the ground, about 30 centimeters deep, with gasoline floating on it, which was very unpleasant. Hungry and unbearable, Zeng Tonghua found a piece of electrical wire, pulled out the copper wire inside, and made a "straw pipe". The oil on the water surface was removed, and the "straw pipe" was extended into the water.

  "What we thought was that it might be better under the water. However, when the water was drunk in my mouth, I found it smelly and difficult to swallow, but I still swallowed." Recalling the experience of survival in the tunnel, 62 years old Zeng Tonghua said with tears, "After being trapped for a few days, he only drank water containing gasoline four times. There was no way to do so. In order to live, he only had to drink."

  Xian Zhangming told reporters that every time he just sucked water into his mouth, and then moistened his lips, "It's really unpleasant, too unpalatable, and I can't drink at all."

  Zeng Tonghua also told reporters that because water is too difficult to drink, Shen Jiansheng once sprinkled his urine in a cigarette case. He felt that urine may be better than water. But when drinking into the mouth, it is also difficult to swallow, "It seems that he still swallowed a little."

  Never despair

  Judging the rescue progress based on the sound

  In the trapped tunnel, the three have always had the concept of time, because Zeng Tonghua brought an elderly cell phone, but no signal. In order to save the power of mobile phones, they only turn off each time they look at the time.

  As time goes by day by day, the physical strength of the three also decreases day by day, and the content that can be chatted is almost the same, and there is no physical energy to chat again. When they are too tired, they will lie on the ground and take a nap, but they will all stay alone to observe the situation in the tunnel.

  "We are worried that the tunnel is collapsing again. Although we have no place to hide, we still have to observe and have a comfort in our hearts. Therefore, every time we rest, we will leave one person to observe the situation, and everyone will take turns to rest." Xian Zhangming said.

  On the morning of the 4th, both Xian Zhangming and Zeng Tonghua stated that they never felt desperate because they could always hear the weak voice outside. They knew that someone must be saving them, and they could feel the wind blowing outside.

  "On the first day, we also struck steel pipes, stones, etc. hard with stones, hoping to hear them from outside, but later learned that they did not hear them. If we are not physically strong, we will take turns with stones. And if they don’t send wind into the cave, , We may also die because of lack of oxygen, because later the lighter will not burn," Xian Zhangming said.

  When they rested for a while, they did not forget to make fun of each other and encourage each other.

  "Your wife may know that you are in trouble, your wife may not know yet." Zeng Tonghua said, because Xian Zhangming is from Shaanxi, so he jokingly talked to the two. I chatted a lot, but I still wanted to talk about it from time to time."

  Xian Zhangming and Zeng Tonghua introduced that they can also feel the rescue outside, and sometimes judge the rescue progress according to the sound. When the sound stops, they will be a little lost. "It may not be possible to go out today, and it will definitely work tomorrow."

  On the morning of May 29, when he was rescued, there was a slight collapse in the tunnel. Shen Jiansheng was hit and shouted in pain.

  "At that time, Zeng Tonghua and I tried to stand up with him, and we could only comfort him "I can save us out immediately", and we really have no way. Frightened to death," Xian Zhangming said.

  From ICU to general ward

  The indications are stable and you can tell jokes

  At noon on May 29th, rescuers heard the sound of three people striking with stones. At 8 o'clock that night, the three were successfully rescued, and immediately the medical staff sent the three to the nearest People's Hospital of Jiangyou City.

  Before being rescued, under the guidance of a doctor, rescuers first supplemented the three men with saline. That night, the three were transferred to Jiangyou People's Hospital, Jiangyou Second People's Hospital, Jiangyou City 903 Hospital ICU.

  At about 18:00 on June 3, Xian Zhangming transferred from the ICU of the Second People's Hospital of Jiangyou City to the general ward. On the morning of the 4th, he was lying on a hospital bed infused with an electrocardiogram monitor to monitor his physical condition. However, Xian Zhangming's condition is very good, and various physical indicators are basically normal. On the same morning, Zeng Tonghua was transferred from the ICU of Jiangyou City 903 Hospital to the general ward for treatment.

  After several days of careful treatment, multidisciplinary cooperation in the hospital, and expert consultations in Mianyang and Jiangyou, Zeng Tonghua basically recovered his normal diet on the fourth and fifth days, and his organs were fully functional.
