Chapter 454? Ice and Snow Weather Bridge Breaks Off and Passenger Car Falls Into the River

Chapter 454 Passenger car fell into the river after the ice and snow bridge broke off

There have been many civil aviation accidents caused by microbursts in the past few decades. All pilots have studied these typical air accidents and are well aware of the hazards of various weather conditions.

In general, almost 90% of air crashes are related to the weather, and most of the dangers Li Zhan himself encountered were also related to the weather.

This is why meteorological departments are important.

Li Zhan had never encountered a microburst before, and he thought he might encounter one this time. As a result, his Southern Flight 1993 landed safely on Runway 27 of Dansha Honghua Airport without any incident.

After quickly exiting the arrival gate, Li Zhan discovered that it was very convenient to take civil aviation without carrying weapons, and there was no need to go through complicated relevant procedures.

The security area sent a captain with an old boss with the words "security picket" on it and waited at the arrival gate for more than an hour. When Li Zhan came out, he saw Lao Ba Dao with a security zone license plate parked directly on the side of the road in an aggressive manner. The traffic police patrol car with flashing lights was not far away. The traffic policeman on duty did not even look at Lao Ba Dao. , too domineering and untouchable.

After confirming that the license plate number was correct, Li Zhan went straight forward to show his ID, exchanged a few words with the captain who was driving the car, and then got in the car. The old boss roared out in a domineering manner, and the driver actually turned on the red and blue police lights on the central grid and occasionally pressed them. A few blasts of the high-frequency horn that can only be used by military and police vehicles.

The old man is overbearing.

Dansha is also considered an important military area. The famous National University of Science and Technology is located here. Historically, this place has been a battleground for military strategists. Many institutions of the Army and Air Force are stationed here. There are many military vehicles going to and from the airport, so it is really difficult to get a seat if you don't sign in. There will be times when you pick up the wrong person and get on the wrong car.

Captain Bai, the staff officer of the Dansha Garrison District Headquarters, received an order to send the person to Zhongnanchang Station before 5 pm today. The person was received at 12:05 pm. Five hours would be enough in normal times. of. From the Airport Expressway, transfer directly to the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway and run for 300 kilometers, then turn to the provincial highway and mountain road and run for 70 to 80 seconds to reach Zhongnan Station.

But the weather was very bad today, so Captain Bai asked the driver to go as fast as possible when the road conditions were good. Once off the highway, the time spent on the road would increase dramatically.

Of course, you can ask your superiors for instructions to postpone the reporting time, but neither Li Zhan nor Captain Bai would consider it unless there are force majeure factors.

Lao Badao was driving fast on the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway. On the straight section of the road, the driver decisively drove to the highway of 150 kilometers per hour. The police lights flashed and occasionally sounded at a high frequency. Vehicles along the way were trying to avoid and follow him. It was like a ghost. In some places, the driver of the vehicle yelled, "It's great to be a soldier. I'm so stupid." In other places, the driver and co-pilot said, "It's probably some urgent military matter."

Just like that, he ran wildly between understanding and not understanding, and plunged into the ice and snow twelve kilometers away from the designated highway entrance.

"There's a traffic jam."

The driver reported to the co-pilot, Captain Bai, that as an experienced driver, the vehicle was forced to stop again after experiencing several brief congestions of varying degrees. The driver knew very well that he was encountering a major congestion.

"Take the emergency lane." Captain Bai pointed to the "third lane" without hesitation.

As soon as the driver turned the steering wheel and entered the emergency lane, he sounded the siren and ran forward, but before he had driven two kilometers, the emergency lane was also blocked. There was a body of water in front of me, so the car probably got impatient with the congestion and drove into the emergency lane, so the emergency lane was also blocked.

Captain Bai looked at the time and decisively picked up the microphone and turned on the loudspeaker: "Xiang AXXXX, get out of the way! Get out of the way of the car in front! Leave the vehicles in the emergency lane immediately!"

He yelled in a rude tone, and finally scolded him angrily, slowly advancing with scolding and scolding. Some of the more expensive cars, whether due to poor sound insulation or a bad driver, refused to move even after shouting for a long time. The driver next to them reminded them that they reluctantly moved aside. There are also some cheaper cars that pretended to be Captain Bai was furious when he couldn't hear what he heard. He got out of the car and stepped forward to severely reprimand and drive him away. It was so difficult to move forward.

Li Zhan's attention was on the weather.

There was ice, snow and rain, there was ice on the ground, there was snow and rain in the air, this strange weather situation made Li Zhan worried. It was really snow and rain, which showed that the temperature in the sky was changing extremely quickly, and there was so much moisture accumulated in the cumulonimbus clouds that it couldn't wait to turn into ice during the landing process.

Looking out from a distance, the mountains that can be clearly seen at ordinary times have disappeared, replaced by a vast expanse of white and gray. Nearby, it is white and far away is gray. The color of the world is much more monotonous.

Li Zhan couldn't help but think of the ice and snow disaster in 2008. He went from the training base in the north to the Second Division of Xixian County, and the civil aviation department announced widespread delays in flights to the south. At first, many people didn't take it seriously. It was just that the snow was heavier and the rain was heavier. It was no big deal. This has been the case for the past few years. However, when trains in many places in the south began to stop running and a large number of passengers returning home for the Spring Festival were stranded in many railway stations, including Guangzhou Station, people realized that a disaster had occurred. During the Spring Festival that year, tens of millions of people were forced to cancel their plans to go home for the New Year.

The harm caused by rain, snow and freezing disasters goes far beyond these. Freight vehicles and returning vehicles running on the highway day and night were trapped on the highway for several days, which was the biggest crisis in the history of the highway.

Li Zhan was very worried that the ice and snow disaster of 2008 would happen again.

After finally moving to the highway intersection, Captain Bai just breathed a sigh of relief when he was blocked again shortly after passing the toll station. It happened to be a national highway with farmland and forests on both sides. There were no other intersections except for a few tractor-trailed roads, but the tractor-trailed roads You don't know where it leads to, so the traffic jam becomes more and more crowded.

Captain Bai said, "Major Li, wait a moment, I'll go see what's going on. Xiao Zhang, drive as far forward as possible."

After saying that, he got out of the car, took his coat and flashlight from the trunk and walked forward. Li Zhan put down the car window, and a biting cold wind poured in, and the drizzle and snow mixed with it hit his face with biting pain. It was obvious that Captain Bai's approach of wearing the military coat was extremely correct. Looking at the visibility, there was drizzle, light snow, and some fog, making it difficult to see beyond fifty meters. Without a flashlight, it was not only unclear but also dangerous.

He is a very experienced captain and staff officer.

This section of the national highway is a two-way four-lane, but it is already blocked at this time. There are many large trucks occupying two lanes. Some small cars have a hard time squeezing through the curb, but many people are still trying to find a way. Gradually, everyone received severe weather warning text messages and knew that they were encountering disastrous weather. Of course, the best way is to rush to the destination as soon as possible. Even if it is not possible, find a place to park and take shelter from the wind. It's hard to carry on in such a cold weather without food or water. It's no joke to freeze to death.

Li Zhan asked the driver for a flashlight and got out of the car to follow Captain Bai. When he went to Hanzhong, he didn't bring any warm clothes. Now he only wore a jacket, and he could clearly feel the biting cold. As he walked forward, he gradually heard noises, and soon Captain Bai ran back.

"Major, the bridge ahead collapsed and a bus overturned into the river." Captain Bai reported breathlessly.

Li Zhan said immediately, "Call the police immediately! Organize other drivers to help rescue people! Ask Xiao Zhang to come over and help!"

"Yes!" Captain Bai immediately executed.

Li Zhan racked his brains while running to the place where the incident occurred, trying to recall whether there were any military units recently. He was not familiar with the distribution of units other than the Air Force, but he had remembered the specific locations of most of the Air Force units because of the special nature of the service units.

This place is only over 80 kilometers away from Zhongnan Station, and there must be air force units nearby. When his eyes glanced at a heavy dump truck, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be an engineering camp more than ten kilometers away. He immediately called Zhongnan Station and asked them to help contact him as soon as possible.

After doing this, he quickly entered the scene to check the situation.

The visibility was getting lower and lower, and I could vaguely see a medium-sized bus lying on its left side in the river. Fortunately, it was a shallow river, and there were rocks on it. Most of the medium-sized bus was on the water. There was a gap of about ten meters from the road where the bus overturned, which posed a great obstacle to the rescue work.

Before Li Zhan arrived, there were already more than a dozen drivers trying to save people. Some passengers who climbed out of the car on their own were pulled up with thick cables. Everyone was asking about the situation and discussing how to rescue them.

Time is of the essence. After Li Zhan greeted the driver of a Cheetah Black King Kong, he jumped directly on the hood and turned on his flashlight and shouted: "Please be quiet! Please be quiet! I am a major of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force! Please Everyone, come and help! Listen to my command! If you are a party member, please come to line up in front of me first! Other comrades line up!"

After he shouted several times, a temporary rescue team of dozens of people was formed.

Li Zhan shouted to the team, "Party members, please step forward!"

A dozen men of different ages strode forward. At this time, Captain Bai happened to rush over and stood there, saluting Li Zhan and reporting the situation, which greatly increased Li Zhan's prestige.

Li Zhan quickly assigned tasks, "Party members and comrades formed a vanguard and went down to the river with me to rescue people! The others were commanded by Captain Bai to assist us! Xiao Zhang! Clean up the cars around you and try to make as much space as possible. No vehicles can stay." On the bridge!"

With a few instructions, the originally chaotic scene disappeared and was replaced by a tense and orderly rescue operation. Under the leadership of Li Zhan, the temporary party member vanguard resolutely went down to the river to rescue people. Li Zhan took the lead and walked towards the river with the thick hemp rope provided by the truck driver tied around his waist. As soon as he stepped into the river water, his legs seemed to have lost all feeling.

His scalp was numb, and he turned around and shouted loudly: "Don't come down yet! The river is very icy!"
