Beijing News (Reporter Liu Ruiming, intern Gao Xinran) At 9:40 on the 29th, the Juxian Hotel in Xiangfen County, Linfen, Shanxi, collapsed, causing 29 people to be killed, 7 seriously injured and 21 slightly injured. Zhang, a villager in Anli Village, Taosi Township, Xiangfen County, said that three people in his family were injured in the accident and are currently being treated in Linfen City Hospital.
At 9 o'clock on the 29th, when Zhang's wife arrived at the Juxian Hotel, where the birthday feast was held, they found that the hotel had collapsed. Then she called Zhang and asked him to go to the hospital.
Zhang's wife's aunt, cousin and cousin-in-law were all injured in the accident. "My wife's aunt is in her 60s this year. In the accident, she was hit by a collapsing rock in her hip and injured her waist. She was rescued by rescuers at noon yesterday and sent to Xiangfen County Hospital." Zhang said. The wife's cousin and cousin-in-law are in their 40s this year, "one has a broken rib and the other has a broken leg." At present, the three injured have been transferred from Xiangfen County Hospital to Linfen City Hospital for treatment. Zhang's wife accompanies the bed in the hospital.
Zhang said that when the injured were talking, they were chatting in the banquet hall. “There was no chance to respond. The roof fell down with a click. There was no sign at all.”
Zhang said that the old man who passed his birthday was from Anli Village. Because he was close to the Juxian Hotel in Chenzhuang Village where the incident occurred, he chose to hold a birthday banquet here. After the incident, no one complained about the old man. They were all relatives. No one could think of natural and man-made disasters. The wife of the old man and two relatives in their 40s also died in the accident. "Now we don't have any needs, and don't want to blame anyone."
