On September 4, a worker in Shanshi Town, Hailin City, Heilongjiang Province was riding an hydrogen balloon while driving a pine tower. One person was taken away by a hydrogen balloon and lost contact.
Fortunately, the trapped person contacted the rescue personnel on the morning of the 5th. He floated more than 300 kilometers in the air and was rescued on the tree.
Hailin Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department stated that on the 4th, the workers brought their own hydrogen balloons to harvest red pine seeds. During the process, the hydrogen balloon floated away and there was a person on it.
The brother-in-law of Hu, a worker, said, "It may be that the people below didn't hold the rope at that time, and the people didn't get off the ball, so they flew away together." Zheng Hongjun, director of the Shan City Forestry Farm of Longjiang Forestry Bureau Co., Ltd., who participated in the rescue throughout the whole process, introduced that there were two people on the hydrogen balloon at that time, and one of them jumped off by jumping, but Hu failed to jump off, and he floated higher and higher.
It is understood that there is only a small amount of water on the hydrogen balloon and no food. More than 40 people in the forest farm followed the hydrogen balloons on the ground and called to tell us how to deflate the hydrogen balloons.
According to local staff, Hu's mobile phone has no signal and is temporarily out of contact due to entering the mountainous area.
11 o'clock, a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily learned from the local Forestry Public Security Bureau that on the morning of the 5th, the Hailin Branch of the Forest District Public Security Bureau received a call from a man who flew away in a hydrogen balloon for help, saying that he landed safely on the night of the 4th, but because the landing location was in a mountainous area, he could not ask for help without a signal. It was not until this morning that he noticed that his phone had received some signals, so he immediately sought police rescue.
After confirmed by Hailin Forestry Bureau, Hu landed in Tonghe County, Harbin City.
The police guided him to slowly deflate through his mobile phone, and positioned him through his mobile phone to form a search and rescue team to send a network to search and rescue.
htmlOn the morning of September 6, after repositioning on the mobile phone, rescuers found that the trapped man Hu was in the area of Wanbaoshan Forestry Bureau. After being rescued, Hu was in good condition and was awake in addition to a slight injury to the waist. He said that (when jumping from a hydrogen balloon) grabbed (branch) and broke it, "the tree branch was stuck."Beijing News reporters found that there are many unexpected incidents among workers who have been hitting pine towers (pulling down pine nuts on the tree). Mr. Wang, the owner of a local nut processing factory, said that the pine tower grows at the top of pine trees that are dozens of meters high. Because it is too tall, it cannot be picked by machine and can only be picked by hand, which is very dangerous for people to climb up. In the past two years, after using hydrogen balloons to slap the tower, the situation has improved, but there are still people who float away with balloons .
It is reported that on August 31, 2022, Hailin Forestry Bureau Co., Ltd. has issued a safety reminder for red pine seed harvesting, and it is strictly prohibited to use dangerous methods such as hydrogen balloons to harvest red pine seeds.
