There is a 28 storey building in Shanghai, which is located in the bustling downtown.
But it was completely sealed by cement, without any people. Even people passing by here would feel a burst of cold.
It is like the highest tombstone. It has been 14 years since 2010.
Because there were 58 people who were burned alive in this building.
Until today, no one dares to dismantle it or touch it.
So when people look at it, they always stand there quietly and say that it is like a natural tombstone for 58 people who died in this building.
The fire that shocked the whole country
November 15, 2010 was supposed to be a peaceful day.
But on that day, there was a nationwide fire.
Jiaozhou Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai.
There is a 28 storey building beside the road, which is an apartment building. There are some retired teachers living in the building.
Around noon, from a distance, we could see that the building began to emit puffs of smoke.
Those who are close can see more clearly.
The building caught fire first from the outside.
The place where the fire started was on the middle floor of the building, about 10th and 11.12nd floors.
Once the fire started, it would never stop.
The 28 storey building is like a match thrown into the fire.
And the matches were sprinkled with alcohol.
The momentum of the fire covered the sky for a while.
Everyone who saw it said that it was the hottest fire he had ever seen in his life.
Under the fire, the books in teachers' homes were also pushed to the sky by the rising waves, even to the distance, when they were lit.
Over the Worker's Stadium next door, it was snowing, and countless pages of books floated in.
It's just that the pages of the book are full of flames. The snow is made of fire.
After the fire truck arrived at the scene, the water gun could not spray at such a high height. When it was several floors high, it could not go up again.
cause of fire
The building caught fire for a strange reason.
Generally, the fire starts from inside the building.
However, the fire started outside the building.
The reason for the fire was to do a good job.
On the day when the building caught fire, construction was under way outside the building walls.
The purpose of workers' construction is to install a layer of thermal insulation and energy-saving materials for the building.
This was originally a project to benefit the people.
However, no one expected that these thermal insulation and energy-saving materials were not fireproof!
On that day, welders did not take formal construction steps during construction.
It was found that these welders themselves did not have special operation qualification certificates.
Due to incorrect construction, the temperature is too high, and these insulation materials are fireproof and even flammable, so many fires rise outside the wall.
At this time, when the welders saw the fire, they were afraid and fled the scene.
This led to the fire not being found and rescued in time, which led to the fire getting bigger and bigger later, and wrapped the whole building in flames!
Escape and despair
After the building caught fire, there were many people living in the building, most of whom were retired teachers.
The residents immediately felt afraid.
Under the threat of fire, some people choose to actively respond, rush out of their homes to seek a way of life, and some people choose to hide at home.
On the same day, someone saw a brave man climbing down the scaffolding outside the building from the 23rd floor.
The scaffold was so red by the fire that it would burn a big bubble if you felt it.
However, he managed to climb 23 floors before reaching the ground.
In the end, he gained his life safety at the cost of taking off a layer of skin on all his hands and feet.
Some people, after the fire, quickly ran to the roof, and these people were lucky to catch up with the rescue helicopter.
Others are trapped inside the building. They dare not go out at home, or they struggle to escape in the corridor.
In the end, 58 people were killed, more than 70 injured and 56 missing in the fire.
The missing people should be reduced to ashes in the fire
Tombstone standing for 14 years
The reason for this fire, although it is due to the illegal operation of welders, is also related to the insulation materials used.
Because of the fire, the building insulation materials throughout the country have been upgraded and replaced with fireproof materials.
In the fire, those who should be held accountable were all held accountable, and those who should be punished were also all punished.
The innocent dead and injured were also condoled, mourned and compensated.
Only this building has been sealed since then.
A layer of cameras is also installed on the roof.
No one knows why the camera is installed.
The building has not been moved since it was sealed up.
People passing by feel that the temperature here is lower than other places.
But this is not because people have died or been haunted, but because after the building was burned, only concrete was left.
The concrete absorbs water at low temperature. At high temperature, the water inside is evaporated and absorbs heat, so people just feel cool.
As for why the building has been standing there without repair or demolition, it is just because the cost is too high.
Moreover, the building is located in a prosperous area, surrounded by buildings, and demolition of the building is likely to cause greater harm.
For example, it hits other buildings, causing foundation settlement, etc.
Therefore, this building has been sealed up until now.
