Review
Typhoon No. 19 "Hagibis" this year continues to wreak havoc in Japan, causing heavy damage to Japan. According to the latest report from the Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK), "Hagibis" has killed 26 people in Japan, left 18 missing, and injured 175 people.
After the powerful typhoon "Hagibis", the 19th this year, made landfall in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan on the evening of the 12th, violent storms caused serious disasters and the water levels of many rivers surged. The Chikuma River flowing through Nagano Prefecture burst its banks and overflowed, causing the Nagano Shinkansen depot in East Japan to flood. A large number of trains were flooded, and the scene was shocking.
Typhoon "Hagibis" made landfall and brought violent storms, and the Nagano Shinkansen train in Japan was flooded.
According to the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK), affected by the typhoon, the Chikuma River flowing through Nagano Prefecture overflowed in Nagano City, Chikuma City and other places, and many areas were severely flooded.
JR East said that due to the flooding of the Chikuma River, the Shinkansen vehicles at the JR East Nagano Shinkansen Vehicle Center in Akanuma, Nagano City were severely flooded.
On October 12, local time, affected by Typhoon Hagibis, streets and houses in Mie Prefecture, Japan were flooded.
According to reports, the area around the Nagano Shinkansen Vehicle Center was flooded, and it is currently impossible to get close to confirm the detailed damage. In addition to being a garage for Shinkansen vehicles, this vehicle center is also responsible for maintenance. Now the entire vehicle center is flooded, which may affect the opening and dispatch of the Shinkansen in the future.
In the picture taken in Nagano City at around 9:30 am local time on the 13th, you can see seven Shinkansen trains soaked in water. These vehicles are the vehicles introduced when the Shinkansen opened, and are E7 series or W7 series. Since the electronic machinery of the train is difficult to clean after being soaked in water, and the air-conditioning wiring is especially difficult to repair if it is soaked in water. Some experts said that if the train is operated without water, it may catch fire, so the worst case scenario is to directly scrap it.The
report also stated that the cost of 120 carriages of the Hokuriku Shinkansen is 32.811 billion yen (approximately 2.146 billion yuan), and the cost of 1 group and 12 carriages alone is 3.28 billion yen (approximately 210 million yuan) . The flooded train will not only be difficult to repair and cost a huge amount of money, but it is also likely to reduce the number of trains in operation. Traffic will still be affected when the typhoon passes.
In response to this disaster, the website of the Chinese Embassy in Japan issued an emergency reminder on the 10th, calling on tourists going to Japan and Chinese citizens planning to travel to pay attention to weather conditions in a timely manner, adjust their itineraries in advance, and stay away from rivers, seasides and mountainous areas to avoid encountering floods or landslides. Wait for natural disasters.
