22 On the morning of 22, Upstream News - Chongqing Morning Post reporter came to the scene to conduct a follow-up investigation into the accident. On the side of the Blue Sky Opera House of Shaping Commercial Building, I saw the incident area still blocked by the cordon, and the cordon continued to the entire eaves covered by the decorations of the eaves vertically above.
However, since the first floor of the cordon is full of shops, many shopping citizens have to go through the warning area to enter the shop. Because of yesterday's accident, pedestrians looked up and observed when passing by the warning area, and walked quickly, for fear of falling objects falling again.
reporters were wearing the armband of the "Three Gorges Square Business District Committee" in front of a clothing store within the cordon. The staff member wearing the armband of the "Three Gorges Square Business District Committee" has been reminding pedestrians who are shopping not to stay in the cordon. Staff said that after the accident on the 21st, the area has been set up as a warning area, and the local safety supervision department will also start an investigation to understand the incident. It is understood that the falling object is a triangular steel with a length of about one meter, which is used to support the eaves of the building and is located inside the decoration.
This is not the first time something happened. It almost hit the spot where a three-year-old boy was hit, which happened to be in front of the HaiLan Home Clothing Store. Ms. Wen, a salesperson at the store, witnessed the entire process of the incident and described the situation last night to the reporter.
"I first heard the girl's scream, and then turned around and saw a child lying on the ground." Ms. Wen said that she happened to be greeting guests at the door when the incident happened. After the accident, she went to check and found that the child was hit by Sanling steel, with blood all over his head. She was unconscious at that time. After the boy was smashed, his father ran to the hospital with his child in his arms. Unfortunately, the boy died due to ineffective rescue. About an hour later, a cordon was set up on the scene, and the business district staff rushed to the scene to maintain order.
"A few months ago, my colleague was almost smashed in the same location." Ms. Wen told reporters that there had been a fall of exterior wall bricks before, and it almost hit the colleague at the entrance of the way. The owner of a milk tea shop near
also told reporters that about a year ago, a middle-aged woman was walking here and a piece of gravel hit her feet. "Later, it was said that the exterior wall would be repaired, and the shelves were also built."
suspected that due to years of disrepair, the hidden danger was not discovered in this area
0 The reporter found through a photo taken in September last year that the entire building of Shaping Commercial Building was wrapped in scaffolding and protective nets. According to the merchant, the exterior wall was repaired at that time. In addition, on a nameplate outside Shaping Commercial Building, there is also an engraving of the "Chongqing Shaping Theater Renovation Project" that was carried out in December 2002.
reporter found that the eaves decoration is a hollow structure, and the interior is supported by triangular steel, and the decorations are flat on the top and round on the bottom. Staff from the safety supervision department of Shapingba District told reporters that they will investigate the safety issues of the building.
After 3 pm, there was a partition where the fall occurred, and there was still a partition hanging. People at the scene said with concern: "If it rainstorms or strong winds, the hanging partition may also fall." Everyone also hopes that this danger can be eliminated as soon as possible and no longer let the tragedy happen again.
At present, Shapingba District Business District Committee, Safety Supervision, Public Security and other departments are conducting investigations, and the aftermath is also being carried out.
