China News Service, Changsha, May 5 (Reporter Liu Shuangshuang Yang Huafeng) In the early morning of May 5, the fifth press conference on the collapse of self-built houses by residents in Changsha, Hunan was held to report the latest situation of accident rescue.
So far, a total of 10 trapped people have been rescued and 5 victims have been found.
At the meeting, Li Kai, deputy general manager and chief engineer of China Construction Fifth Bureau, introduced that according to the plan discussed and studied by the expert group, the current rescue work adopts the method of layer-by-layer operation and layer-by-layer detection.
Each time a layer is uncovered, the detection is repeated several times to ensure that possible survivors are found in time. If it is confirmed that there are no new signs of life, the next step will be carried out.
"In the position where it is estimated that there may be trapped people, we use manual operations to avoid harm to possible survivors and damage to the remains of the victims. In this case, the use of manual operations is to harm the victims. Respect for the remains is also respect for life. Once new signs of life are found, operations will be stopped and rescued." Li Kai said that in this way, another person with signs of life was detected at around 20:40 on the 4th. Trapped, has been successfully rescued.
