What happened after being trapped for 14 days? People's Daily reporter interviewed rescued miners
On January 26, a reporter from the People's Daily interviewed two miners rescued from the underground explosion accident in Qixia's Hushan Gold Mine face to face at Qixia City People's Hospital.
What have they experienced after being trapped for 14 days?
What kind of beliefs supported the survival?
Listen to their story.
One of the rescued miners: I believe someone must come to rescue us!
When the explosion occurred, I was in the middle of section 6, because there was a lot of water, so I climbed from the ladder of the shaft to the middle section of the 5th section to wait for rescue.
After the second explosion, dense smoke began to fill the middle section of the fifth section, and no one could be seen at a distance of two or three meters. The situation was very chaotic.
While waiting for rescue below, the pipeline in the middle was disconnected, and we hit the lift well every day.
We heard the sound of drilling two or three days before drilling through No. 1, and it was clear when the last day was almost through.
When the borehole got through, we all stood up when we heard the sound!
There is a feeling of Jedi rebirth.
During these 14 days, some people were disappointed and some were optimistic.
We encourage each other and believe that the party and government will send people to save us!
At that time, we were more than 500 meters deep in the mine. The water quality was relatively hard and not suitable for people to drink. Occasionally, we kept our lives. We used bottles and cups to get water, just drink water, and there was no other food.
There is a particularly experienced eldest brother in the mine who draws on his strengths and gathers wisdom from all aspects.
When hitting the drill pipe, there were 9 hits at most.
My health is pretty good now!
Eating is also very good!
After the borehole was opened, rescuers poured a lot of food and water, and the rescue was non-stop for 24 hours, which was really hard.
The feeling of Shengjing at that time was like the feeling of rebirth, the second life.
And this second life is what the party and government gave us!
Thank the party, thank the rescue headquarters, thank all the rescuers!
Rescued miner 2: Put your hands together to express gratitude!
At that time, the hole was drilled through, and it was me who hit the drill pipe because I had the best physical strength. I brought a tool and needed to hit hard.
At first tap 5 times, which means we are in the middle of 5.
Hit another 9 times, which means that we have been underground for 9 days.
The most worried thing is the family, they don't know our situation.
When the explosion occurred, we were in the 6th middle and climbed to the 5th middle afterwards.
The helmet is cracked.
After so many days in the well, I was still able to breathe underneath, and there was plenty of oxygen.
Lie on the ground at rest, and go to sleep when you are sleepy.
After staying below for eight or nine days, I heard the noise and knew that someone was coming to rescue us.
On Laba Festival, I received Laba porridge.
At that time, the mobile phone still had electricity. Knowing that it was the Laba Festival that day, I sighed that the rescuers were so thoughtful.
I was the last to rise to the well, or because I have the best physical strength.
When I was going to the well, I folded my hands together as a spontaneous expression of gratitude.
The flashlight in his hand was on at that time, because when the well was raised in the shaft, it was dark and invisible, and the flashlight needed to be illuminated all the time.
Thank the party and the government for not giving us up!
