Wenzhou high-speed rail incident (Wenzhou bullet train derailment accident in 2008)
1. The reason why Wenzhou high-speed railway accident was buried on the spot was that there was a quagmire at the accident site. In case of poor rescue conditions, the locomotive had to be buried on the spot to maintain ground stability for quick rescue.
2. At that time, the rescue site had soft soil, ponds and marshes, surrounded by farmland. In order to save rescue time (it was faster to bury the wreckage than to transport sand and stones one by one).
3. Moreover, the head and carriage of the fallen car are exactly where the rescue crane needs to be used and must be cleaned and moved away.
4. The two cranes weigh up to 300 tons, and they can't be used when the subgrade is unstable.
5. In fact, this is not the only way to deal with the accident in Wenzhou. After the accident of K859 train, the carriage was buried on the spot. In addition, the official also publicly admitted that burying the head of the train was improper.
6. In order to rescue the leveling of the ground, the excavation was organized, and the train head and scattered parts were put into the pit. After that, the relevant leaders stopped the excavation and punished the relevant responsible person at that time.
7. That is to say, at that time, only the locomotive was disassembled and the fallen carriage was not buried. After the measures at that time were stopped, another scheme was adopted, which was to use a large excavator to "roll" the fallen carriage to one side (the carriage was huge, weighing 40-50 tons).
8. Later, sand and stones were transported to fill the ground, but it also delayed the time.
9. This accident is not a so-called premeditated political event, it is a responsibility accident of dereliction of duty.
