Life-and-Death Rescue for Air Respirator

At 16 o'clock on the April 20, due to carbon monoxide poisoning (must bring a gas mask), the treatment of hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Beside him, because of less oxygen inside the cave, they consumed more energy during work. They spent about four or five times resting around the morning. Afternoon is ready to begin the afternoon work after the meal. No one thought that the danger had come. Due to the complex environment inside the cave, the wind direction has changed, and the exhaust gas such as carbon monoxide generated by the generator has been blown toward their operation. Can not allow him to think more, the scene in front of it is beginning to dim and difficult to distinguish. In the vagueness, he seemed to see him slowly walking toward the entrance of the cave and turning his head to search for his companion. He could not find it. He lost consciousness immediately.
At 22:22, the fire truck arrived at the foot of Tantang Mountain. Several ambulances have been parked aside. From the foot of the mountain to the entrance on the hillside, all the villagers use flashlights or torches to illuminate their way. This “road” is a short-cut to the Tangtang Cave, which was temporarily opened by the villagers before the arrival of the fire officers and soldiers. Eight minutes later, along the simple mountain road, Tao Wenhai and five other people came to the cave with rescue ropes and air respirator equipment.
“If people are inside, they die or live, we don’t know. You must rescue them.” Li Dawei waiting at the entrance said eagerly. “At 4:30 in the afternoon, everyone will take home the work, but at 8 o'clock in the evening, they will all be over. When they haven't returned home, I suspect that something is wrong."
Rescue terrain is quite complex: The cave is halfway up the hillside. There is only a slope more than 1 meter wide outside the cave. The slope is a cliff below. The step is on the slope. There are stones and silt rolling off the cliff from time to time. The working space is very narrow. Going forward is a narrow passage with a diameter of only 0.6 meters. Tao Wenhai looked through the light and the inside of the cave was low and winding. "Only one person crawls." An optical cable connected to the air respirator for lighting passes through the channel and extends inwards, from which it can be judged that the person in distress should be inside.
time is life! Because the three sides of the cave are all rugged rocks, some are quite sharp. Rescue players have to watch out for bumps up and down. The pit floor was covered with wet mud and crawled all the way through. It was almost late at night and the hole was very quiet. The team of the mine rescue team constantly changed their postures, or walked slyly or half way forward. What they hear in their ears is the sound of friction between the body and the ground; what they see in front of them is the optical cable that extends forward.
At 1:20 on April 21, Tian Feng, who was in the worst physical condition, was sent to the hole. More than 1,000 people waited outside the cave and consciously and orderly wore chemical protective clothing to join the rescue relay. They lined up on both sides of the rugged mountain road to form a ladder about 1 kilometer long. "Do a good job! Grab!" The cadres and the masses responded to each other and passed trapped people "transmitted" to the ambulance waiting at the foot of the mountain through relay methods of transmission, delivery, and delivery. Half an hour later, the second trapped person was carried on a stretcher! At around 2:40, the third trapped person was also successfully rescued! At about 3 o'clock in the morning, after the rescue team rescued the fourth trapped person, he wanted to re-enter the cave to rescue the fifth trapped person.
