Yangtze Evening News Network, May 9 (Correspondent Liu Yubao and reporter Wan Lingyun) At 9 o'clock in the evening on May 8, the Yingongzhou River in the Zhenjiang section of the Yangtze River was calm. Xu Guoping, the deputy chief of the Zhenjiang Jingkou Coast Guard Law Enforcement Brigade, Zheng Yi, the duty officer of the command sub-center of the Dasha Maritime Department, and the two coast guard crew members, who had been busy all day, had not fallen asleep, and everything was calm.
Zhenjiang Maritime Command Center is still brightly lit at this time. Foreman Zhong Yang was following up the records of large seagoing ships entering the river, Yu Yuntao, the watchman, analyzed the flow of ships at the mouth of Liuwei River against the radar image, and Lin Huan, another watchman, stared at the screen. Except for the occasional report of the ship's position, the rest is business as usual.
At the same time, the "Global XXX" ship was bound for Nanjing after loading the cargo from Dagang, and passed the Yulongzhou Estuary at 9:00 pm. Seeing that the captain Ge's wife was almost busy, she walked from the bow to the stern, intending to rest. Who would have thought that when the cable was smashed under his feet, he suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell into the river! This scene terrified her husband, Captain Ge. Seeing his wife fall into the river, Captain Ge grabbed a lifebuoy and jumped down. The original intention was to save people, but he was soon swept away by the running water, and he was farther and farther away from the ship.
"Zhenjiang Command Center, someone has fallen into the water on my ship, please help to save them!" At 9:04 p.m., a hurried cry for help suddenly broke the tranquility of the night. A life-and-death rescue on the river began immediately.
While verifying the information and dispatching search and rescue forces, Zhong Yang instructed Yu Yuntao to quickly issue a water search and rescue alarm, requesting nearby ships to slow down to prevent secondary accidents, and let Lin Huan continue to track the dynamics of the drowning personnel and locate the precise range as much as possible. At the same time, the telephone of the command sub-center of Zhenjiang Dasha Maritime Department rang. Zheng Yi received the instructions and quickly rang the alarm bell; Xu Guoping heard the police and rushed out of the office; the crew quickly started the engine... Within three minutes, the sea patrol boat roared into the night.
At this time, near the Yangtze River No. 100-1 float, the drowning couple, Ge and his wife, were struggling in the rapids. Although the river was not as cold as winter, the boundless night still made people feel fearful. In addition to the rapid flow, they would be washed as soon as they fell. Walk ten meters. Fortunately, the captain Ge wore a waterproof headlight on his head, which provided help for quick rescue!
A boat passing the nearby water board received a navigation warning from the command center , and soon found the drowning crew. However, because the freeboard of the empty ship was too high to rescue people, a crew member decided to throw a life jacket to the drowning person.
Those who fall into the water may not know how dangerous the "Flower Water Area" is in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River 100-1. The water flow of the North Branch and the main stream intersect and merge, and the water flow that seems to be normal on the surface is often turbulent. Many boats are afraid to go there, let alone fall into the river.
minutes and seconds are all about the life and death of and !
Not only the crew members of the "Global XXX" ship were anxious, but also the Zhenjiang maritime personnel were sweating on their behalf. The sea patrol boat can't wait to fly to the scene. The captain pulled the boat to full speed. He knew that the sooner he arrived, the more hope for the crew. In the high frequency, it was more like a pot, and some crew members saw the flashing lights of the sea patrol boat and shouted: "The sea patrol boat, hurry up, the sea patrol boat, the people are dying!" The lamp post of the searchlight is constantly searching the river surface, hoping to find the drowning person as soon as possible.
"I saw it two or three hundred meters away, and I took a life-saving pole. When I was approaching, my eyes were blinded by the headlights of the drowning person. I was afraid that the life-saving pole would stab people and dare not stretch forward. The person drowning in the water shouted, let him not look at his eyes." Xu Guoping said: "Our boat is not high, but it is not easy for the drowning person to climb up. I quickly asked my colleague to bring a life-saving ladder, and a few people were next to help. Pull people up, so that people can be rescued."
It took only 10 minutes before and after getting out of the boat after receiving the police to saving people on the boat.
Sitting on the bow of the sea cruiser, the rescued Ge and his wife took a long time to recover. His wife Guo was still in shock, but the first sentence she said was: "Thank you Zhenjiang Maritime!"
Afterwards, the maritime personnel sent the two back to the "Global XXX" ship and told them to drink some hot water to prevent a cold. Everything was set up properly, and the sea patrol boat returned.
"Two drowning people were saved!" Xu Guoping reported to the center, and soon the river surface was calm again, only the lights of the operation of the terminal of the nearby power plant swayed on the river surface.
