Special mission
Reporter Nguyen Phuc (left) was shocked after smoking at the scene of the landslide in Division 337. His colleagues encouraged him when he was unable to continue to enter the scene. |
At this point, all the reports are no longer important, but how to “preserve the force.” And I accept another special task. Instead of having to get closer to the scene, the direction was changed to cheer on PV Nguyen Phuc, who was dismayed that the angel of death was “missed”.
I met my colleague, who was curled up on a bed, in a small hotel in TT, Khe Sanh (Huong Hoa).
His face did not cut a drop of blood, his voice whispered: “Don’t go in there anymore …”. After a while to help him calm down, even tease him to forget the feeling of being about to die, I said as if asking him, “Let me go back there, you must go back, you must go.”
Knowing how the situation was at the scene, reporter Nguyen Phuc immediately discouraged me. Asking a few more times like that, perhaps understanding my personality, Mr. Phuc simply said: “Where you can’t go, come back …”. The head of the office also told me that I decided to enter the scene …
Along the way, a spectacle of destroyed mountains and forests appeared before my eyes. Huge cliffs fell, roads were ripped apart by flooding. Just a little mistake, both the car and the person will disappear under the rocks.
In my professional life “I was lucky” many times and this time it was the same. Due to the idea that PV Nguyen Phuc is no longer able to mentally “fight”, “reinforcements” like me will bring any information to the readers.
And at the outpost headquarters I have met and observed that most of the leaders of the Ministry of Defense, Military Region 4 and the Quang Tri Province People’s Committee are conducting training and directing search and rescue work.
Reporter Hoang Son “hitchhiked” on a wheel loader to enter the scene of Group 337’s collapse. |
It was getting dark, I had to go back to the original stop to get the device, battery backup. And the second hoe is on top of the wheel loader. Although the road is temporarily clear, not all cars can pass.
On the roof of the car, the driver kept telling him to hold on tight on the bumpy road, if he accidentally slipped his hand, it would be difficult to save his life. In front of a truck that was transporting a coffin, he was also returning because he could not enter the place.
This excavator must be stopped for a short period to clear the road. I hitchhiked again in a dump truck and jogged for 1 kilometer to collect my belongings …
Hold your breath in the truck
I returned to the outpost headquarters when it was dark. Hitchhiking this time is “real” because you can travel in a 7-seat car. As soon as I got in the car, I saw red eyes. The haunting scream.
The car transporting the coffin (without a body) has not yet arrived at the place and has to leave it still makes many people chase |
Throughout history, I realized that there was a woman who had not seen her husband for a long time because he was busy at work… He promised to visit her and her children by phone a few days before. But then everything was left unfinished …
Although it rains a lot and he is about a 2 km walk from the place, the mud floods his back, but the team is determined to go to his unit.
At 8 pm, in the house on stilts, the generals of the Defense Ministry met secretly to discuss the night rescue plan. The convoys were ordered to withdraw to minimize the potential danger of the mountains falling at any moment.
After the “hitchhiking” trips, PV Hoang Son was able to approach the Front Command for rescue in the Union 337 disaster. |
When you hit the button to send the article to the newsroom, your empty stomach after breakfast screamed hastily. It was 22 at night. Three colleagues and I went to the back of the camp to order cold food from the soldiers. Fortunately, the unfinished HQ dinner earlier still had some food.
At this time, the group of engineers also requested the emergency to withdraw. We hastily sweep up the piece of rice and then jump into the truck to leave the scene.
It goes without saying when you’re standing in a truck in shock. The miserable car roared many times through the puddles. There are landslides that cause the car to tilt between 30 and 35 degrees. We all had hearts.
Only specialized vehicles can move through landslides when the route is not reconnected |
Disaster has happened continuously in the central strip of land, thinking wildly when the car falls, what will happen. Not just us, but the young soldiers didn’t say a word either.
Perhaps they also feel the danger that no one dares to say. The length of about 20 km is longer due to the inclination to the left and to the right. Colleague along with pale face.
The feeling of facing impending death was not easy. But there are times when the “blood shot” works, it is not always possible to choose the safest one.
PV Hoang Son and PV Huy Dat entered the scene of the landslide in Tra Leng Commune (Nam Tra My) in a pickup truck. |
Standing in front of the landslide, no car has room to hitchhike. I noticed that one pickup, even though it was completely full, was loaded with nothing in the back. “If you don’t mind, go to the trunk of the car,” said the driver.
I rejoiced: “Having a car that you can get into is very valuable now.” I threw my backpack in the trunk of the truck and, along with PV Huy Dat, Independence was “layered” behind the bed of the truck.
The car wobbled many times through the mud. On our side, the rock was still rolling down the road. I heard a terrible landslide. Many landslides cut the frog’s jaw deep into the road surface.
Reporter Hoang Son was present immediately and gave money to support readers in cases of deaths in the Tra Leng landslide. |
The driver must press the accelerator pedal to get into the big rocks to avoid. There is a bounce in the car, we hold onto each other’s shoulders. No one said a word to each other.
The nausea from the car sickness was fleeting, but they were immediately overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety and insecurity. Because danger is waiting under every rolling wheel.
