The d2809 train hit a sudden mudslide and was off-line. Expert: the 5-second response time of the driver killed in duty is quite timely (observer network)
At about 10:30 on June 4, when the No. d2809 passenger train from Guiyang North to Guangzhou south was driving at the yuezhai tunnel entrance before the Rongjiang station of Guiyang Guangzhou line, it collided with the debris flow that suddenly collapsed and invaded the line, resulting in the off-line of No. 7 and No. 8 trains, killing one driver and injuring one conductor and seven passengers.
Ludongfu, Secretary of the Party group and chairman of the board of directors of the State Railway Group, went to the National Railway Dispatching Command Center for the first time to command the accident rescue work, and assigned yangyudong, general manager and Deputy Secretary of the Party group of the State Railway Group, to lead the team to the scene immediately to organize the rescue work.
After the incident, one conductor and seven passengers were quickly sent to Rongjiang county hospital for full treatment. They have been properly treated and are not in danger; Other 136 passengers on the train have been transferred by bus to Congjiang station.
"Quite timely"
According to on-board data analysis, on the same day, Yang Yong, the driver of Guiyang locomotive depot, took the d2809 train from Guiyang North to Guangzhou south, drove to the yuezhai tunnel before the arrival of Rongjiang station, found that the line was abnormal, and took emergency braking measures within 5 seconds. The train hit a debris flow that suddenly collapsed and invaded the line, taxied for more than 900 meters, and then disconnected from the line at Rongjiang station.
@China Railway said that Comrade Yang Yong died a glorious death. Comrade Yang Yong stopped at the critical moment decisively, leaving down the last brake in his life to ensure the safety of passengers on the bus.
With regard to the official announcement that the driver "took emergency braking measures within 5 seconds and the train skidded for more than 900 meters", Huang Qiang, chief expert of China Academy of Railway Sciences, told China Newsweek that the five second response time of the dead driver was "quite timely".
He introduced that the derailment of the train means that part of the train has left the track. The braking distance of more than 900 meters means that the subsequent speed is expected to be about oneortwo kilometers per hour, but it is not ruled out that it is affected by the line. Generally speaking, during railway transportation, relevant parties will also have prevention or early warning for natural disasters such as debris flow. If there are obvious or possible signs of debris flow, shutdown measures may be taken. However, if the debris flow happens suddenly, that is, "sudden" accident, it is difficult to prevent. Before the accident, there was much rainfall in Guizhou. If the accident was caused by debris flow, it should be a "natural disaster".
