They are four cousins of Quang Tri who have been working as construction workers at the Rao Trang 3 Hydropower Station (Phong Xuan Commune, Phong Dien District, TT Hue) for more than a month.
Mr. Nguyen Van Dieu said that although he had stabilized, he was still haunting the terrible night in Rao Trang 3 for a long time, where he and 6 colleagues, including 4 cousins, struggled with rock and soil, on a rainy night. Lonely in the mountains to find a way to live

According to Mr. Dieu, in the previous days, the hydroelectric project had rained a lot, there were many small landslides. Many workers asked to leave their home, but Highway 71 fell and they were unable to return.
“I stayed awake that night to be on duty. As soon as I retired behind the corrugated iron hut, suddenly I heard a rumble from the mountains, the water and the mountain mud sliding down the huts. It was dark, I just screamed and ran. All the moments. Tents and operators were buried, collapsed, the shack where I slept with 6 people only partially buried.
Then I ran back to the hut and yelled, “Everyone, Trieu, Thoang,” when I heard the faint voice of Tide “Honey, please save me.” His cousin Nguyen Van Thoang also echoed: “I’m still alive,” Dieu said.
Sitting next to the hospital bed, Mr. Thoang continued, “Until now, we don’t think we’re still alive.
Then Thoang continued: “During the landslide, the rock and rocks ran along with the water, burying the operator and the tents, everything in the shed collapsed, the ground and mud covered me, head covered as if it were buried alive.
I tried to get up but I couldn’t get up, I thought I was dead. Fighting for a while, luckily the mountain water flowed over the muddy ground above my head, I leaned forward to ask for help but couldn’t see anyone.
After struggling to get rid of the mud, Mr. Thoang heard Mr. Dieu’s voice and the court’s cry for help, but it was dark but he could only hear but not see.
Even if you die, you must save me
Nguyen Van Trieu was buried on his legs, more than half of his knees in stone, mud, and wood.
“Fortunately at the time, there was still a flashlight on the phone. Thieu, my brother, and I tried to pull the tide, but couldn’t. At first digging the ground with our hands, then using iron bars, but desperation.” Dark.
There are moments of helplessness, heavy rains, the mountains are still in danger of falling. But even if we die, our brothers and sisters cannot leave the dynasty. Fortunately, they all saw the crowbar up close, so they used the crowbar to plow the soil and rocks, saving the tide from the rubble, “said Thoang, a two-hour race to save the tide.
Mr. Dieu said: “At that time, I had to think that even if I died, I had to save you. I thought it was easy to save Trieu, but Trieu had both legs badly injured, the exit from the scene was flooded to the knees.
After that, the three brothers carried Trieu together into the forest, I carried him on each leg, the two cousins carried two shoulders. As all of them were injured, it was impossible to return to Rao Trang 4. We stayed in the forest one more night, then the group of 7 lucky people escaped from the landslide area and headed to Rao Trang 4. ”
According to Mr. Dieu, the landslide overwhelmed the operator and 3 camps and other camps within a few hundred meters from the point of the landslide. That terrible night, the landslide area had only 7 people alive.
After returning to Rao Trang for a 2-day break, the fire prevention and rescue police force took the group for water to Binh Dien General Hospital.
