Enter the scene in … bucket excavator.
Rao Trang 3: “Nuong” followed the water to enter the sceneThe landslide scenario at the Rao Trang 3 hydroelectric power station (Thua Thien-Hue) has been no less “hot”. When the No. 71 road that runs from the direction of Phong Xuan Commune (H.Phong Dien) to the site is still not clear, the only access in recent days is the waterway. Rescue and rescue forces The police of the province of Thua Thien-Hue, in coordination with the Provincial Military Command, Military Region 4, continues to be “stuck” to find 15 missing workers.
But few people know that the waterway is also making it difficult for rescuers. A river traffic police officer in charge of canoeing can here liken water rescue work to “warfare”. Even between the plant operations department and the rescue force, it is necessary to connect and cooperate in a fluid and coordinated manner. Upstream, the area of the lake bed basin is complex. When it rains heavily, the flood water rises very rapidly to exceed the normal level of rise, hydroelectric dams are forced to discharge floods … Without proper coordination, when the rescue force is handling a boat, the hydroelectricity is suddenly discharge. flood control immediately boats can … get stranded on cliffs, land in the middle of the lake. Huong Tra City Deputy Police Chief Lt. Col. Hoang Lien Son, who was on duty at the waterway, said: “In the morning, tapping the water on the lake bed still at a safe level, the force of Rescue is gone. Express runs to the scene, then search and save. Wait until the water level is safe again, we’ll get out. Mr. Phan Thien Dinh, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Thua Thien-Hue Province, acknowledged that at this time, the plan to approach Rao Trang 3 via the stream line is very dangerous in rainy and flood conditions . Therefore, the rescue team had to “stick” to the Rao Trang 4 hydroelectric power station, awaiting reinforcement. Bui Ngoc Long |
I don’t believe my ears because 13 soldiers and cadres died while searching and saving at Rao Trang 3 hydroelectric power station (H.Phong Dien, Thua Thien-Hue), I urgently called the source to verify. . The other side also seemed to wake up from dawn, deep voice: “That’s it! 22 people were missing, the highest rank was Lieutenant Colonel – Logistics Manager; the shortest is newly enlisted, under 20 years old. Most likely it will sacrifice the majority. Half the mountain collapsed. “
Almost 1 hour waiting for trucks from 384 Construction Company (Truong Son Construction Corporation) to throw stones to temporarily overcome the landslide that nearly buried the morning rescue team, Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Nghia, Deputy General The Chief of Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army, after contacting the outpost of the 337th Division, decided: “Urgently enter the scene with you.”
An excavator was dispatched, the team went knee-deep through the point where they had just dumped rocks and for every 3 people they got into the bucket to collect it, sending the excavator to high ground. 2 more kilometers on foot through the landslides and fierce red water, we have just reached the place. Half of the mountain collapsed in the area behind the headquarters of the 337 Economic Defense Group, the mud spilled over the next stream … Inside, 8 excavators of all kinds were digging hard, off the edge, hundreds of soldiers of the naked forces were subjected to the rain, watching carefully and waiting for the signal to enter and rescue the companions …
Meaning of teamwork
Captain Nguyen Duc Chien, Team Leader of the Crime and Drug Prevention Special Forces, under the Quang Tri Province Border Guard Command (CPP) was one of the first people present at the scene. At 4 am on October 18, Chien received an order from the provincial CPO: He immediately maneuvered the search and rescue unit (TKCN). Almost an hour later, about 20 officers and soldiers and 3 professional team dogs were present at Km 15, with Colonel Le Van Phuong (the provincial CPO commander) and the CPV task force on site. At this point the road was seriously eroded, the sniffing dog was only moving 200 meters it was … sunk in the mud.
Faith for the living
Mr. Nguyen Van Son is an official of the company that is building wind power projects in Huong Phung. On the morning of October 18, when the landslide occurred, he himself sent the company’s first excavator to search and rescue with local forces. Seeing our gratitude after hearing the story, Mr. Son said solemnly: “Rescue is not simply about finding a human body, but about letting the living know that when an accident occurs, no one will be affected. to forget”. Soldiers often do not speak much because they recognize their responsibilities to the homeland, the people, and are willing to sacrifice. But sacrifice in peacetime, due to natural disasters, is silent and restless. Feeling the sound of announcing the news in Huong Phung, slowly and clearly, saying: Like natural disasters, no one will be forgotten and that is the seed of trusting those who are still alive, in the world. this life … |
Leaving the dogs and the handler to stay, Colonel Phuong asked the members of the Quang Tri CPP team to bring only rescue equipment, along the mountainside, the stream that surpasses the slip point of land to enter the scene faster. At 6 am on October 18, the CPV task force and delegation were the first from abroad, present at the scene, to receive Army Corps 337 and the Huong Phung Border Guard Station (also known as Sen But Border Guard Station – PV). TKCN on the spot.
12 special officers and soldiers divided into 3 groups, digging directly for suspicious spots on the victim’s body. Gloves are not available, they use their bare hands to scratch the ground, remove 5 bodies from the scene and assign other forces to carry stretchers to the meeting place. “The brothers turned their bodies purple, their eyes closed as if they were sleeping, many people still wore their picnic clothes to sleep, very compassionate and compassionate,” Chien recalled and humbly: “We are always on duty. Dressed like this. In order to be able to maneuver quickly when there are alarm situations “…

At 3 o’clock on October 18, the duty to be on duty of the mobile dog team for service 4 (Middle School 24, CPP HQ) received the order from Hanoi: “Urgently maneuver Huong Phung to perform the task of search and rescue”. Just 30 minutes later, the division consisting of 6 officers, trainers, staff and 3 professional dogs, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Tran Hiep Sy (group leader) was ready to go.
Because the unit did not have a dog truck, it had to move from Quang Tri Province CPO and the 110 km road from A Ngo Commune (Dak Rong District, Quang Tri) to Doan 337 was seen affected by floods, landslides, broken road … then the whole squad walked and took a dedicated truck, it was not until noon until Km 15. To overcome the slip point of Km 15, both the car and the dog they had to sit in the bucket to … ramp across the road torn into a deep abyss. Upon reaching the scene, the wet man drenched himself in rain and spread his raincoat to cover the dog. The dogs are stained with mud, their hair soaked in water soaked in fur.
After examining the topography, Lt. Gen. Nguyen Van Nghia, deputy chief of staff of the Vietnam People’s Army, expressed concern: “Can sniffer dogs promote?” Lieutenant Colonel Sy honestly: “The mud will fill the knee, the dog’s nose will have to be raised so that it does not sink, it is difficult to smell. But we will be covering sheets to look for dogs. The leaders can rest easy ”, making General Nghia decide:“ Especially for tomorrow ”.
On the night of October 18, when the 14th victim was also found to be at risk of a landslide at the site, the forward headquarters ordered the withdrawal of all forces from the area. The tracking team was assigned to rest at the Huong Phung Border Guard, which is almost 10 km away by ambulance, pickup and even on foot from Uoat.
On the night of October 18 at the Huong Phung Border Guard, both Captain Cao Van Chinh (drug prevention captain) and the 3 trainers Nguyen Duc Vuong, Dam Ngoc Vinh, Lai The Trong spoke to each other to find the Cover for the lying dog cures the cold and wakes up every 1 hour to see how the dog sleeps.
