.25 million passengers' subway station becomes Purgatory . This is the real horror moment of The fire of eating people !
Live people zoom corpse , there were constant wailings on the scene, but all disasters did not happen out of thin air.
Time back to the night of the incident, it was the King's Cross Station in London on the evening of November 18, 1987, and pedestrians entered and exited the subway station as usual.
Engineer Philips When he was riding the escalator, he looked around as usual, and this time he found a faint fire between the gaps in the steps.
At this time, the London Kings Cross subway station still used a wooden escalator. Once the escalator caught fire, the consequences would be unimaginable.
After discovering that there was a fire, Philips immediately found the staff and informed the situation, but the staff did not choose to go down and look, but looked from top to bottom.
Due to the problem with the position and perspective of the station, the staff did not find any abnormalities, but thought it was Philips's eyes blurred.
Because of this little comfort, it led to the big tragedy that followed.
At 7:30 pm, a passenger discovered an abnormality again and pressed the emergency stop button of the escalator.
At this time, the staff also found a small flame on the escalator, but they didn't care. It was just a small flame. Small fires like this often occur on the subway.
According to the usual handling methods, the staff found firefighters and evacuated the passengers.
However, no one expected that with a loud bang, the little fire just now instantly turned into a fire dragon and rushed to the ticket hall from the escalator entrance.
At this time, the passenger who had just come out of the escalator on the other side could not hide, and was immediately ignited by the flames that rushed out, which greedily devoured the passengers' clothes, skin, and bodies.
The pain of the fire burning the body made everyone scream miserable, and the instinct of survival made them run out frantically.
But the fire was too fierce, and in a few minutes the ticket hall turned into a huge stove. Many people were entangled by the fire again before they could run out a few steps.
When a fire occurs, the most terrifying thing is not the fire, but the suffocating black smoke. In fact, many people who can survive will become coma due to inhaling too much smoke and then be burned to death by the fire.
Due to the scorching of the fire, the temperature kept rising. The 20-year-old Brody had been severely burned by the fire at this time. He could smell the burnt smell of his flesh, but he had not given up.
He rolled on the ground desperately, trying to put out the fire on his body, but just as he was about to succeed, the ticket hall was occupied by thick smoke.
Everyone felt difficulty breathing, their lungs were very painful, and Brody, who was struggling on the ground, also felt that his throat and lungs were almost scalded, and the thick smoke he breathed at this time made him even more uncomfortable.
Oxygen is decreasing, and Brody is about to suffocate, but he is unwilling to die like this. He is only 20 years old.
Brody, who was cheering up again, no longer cared about the pain in his body. He gritted his teeth and crawled on the hot and hot ground little by little. He didn't know if he could survive, but he didn't want to give up.
In the black smoke and fire, Brody kept crawling, and finally, without giving up, he saw the stairs leading to the ground.
Blodi climbed out of the ticket hall based on his desire for life. At this time, the firefighter standing on the stairs saw Brodi struggling on the stairs and immediately went up to help.
Brodi survived. At this time, many people must be wondering why the firefighters were standing on the stairs instead of rescued in the ticket hall?
In fact, after the fire broke out, firefighters also entered the rescue, but because the fire was too fierce, they stopped at the entrance of the ticket hall.
In this rescue, firefighters rescued the fire chief who was besieged by the fire, but unfortunately the director died because he inhaled too much smoke.
This disaster started at 7:30 and burned for 6 hours, killing 31 people and seriously injuring more than 60 people. The cause of death of many people was caused by inhaling too much smoke, which caused death from suffocation.
Fortunately, most passengers escaped from another exit because of the timely evacuation of subway workers, avoiding more casualties.
Disasters are ruthless, and a small negligence will turn into a big disaster. No one wants to see such a disaster. The life of firefighters is still life, but when they think of our country's firefighters, they never retreat in the face of such a fire. I feel both distressed and admire their brave spirit of saving people.
After the fire at King's Cross Station occurred, in order to avoid the fire from happening again, through repeated investigations, the cause of the fire was also found.
Although there are clear regulations for the subway to not smoke, there are still many passengers who do not abide by the regulations and smoke while riding the escalator. This fire is when the passengers discarded the used matches after smoking, which ignited the garbage accumulated under the escalator.
After the garbage was ignited, it was still a small fire at the beginning, but because the escalator environment caused a full trough effect, the small fire quickly turned into a large fire.
A small negligence causes a major disaster. For ourselves and others, we should prevent fires at all times, and everyone is responsible for fire safety!
