Xinhuanet, Wuhan, June 5-the mighty Yangtze River and lived through the one millions of people sleepless night and day. Based on the "star of the East" tourist passenger ships in the hope of more survivors almost elusive judgment, in order to maximize the protection of the dignity of the deceased, the command center decision, starting from 4th to the holistic fuzheng sinking and floating. 7:15 P.M. from 5th to 4th at 8 o'clock in the evening for nearly 24 hours, through 5,000 military every minute of hard, sank the "star of the East" has finally surfaced as a whole.
Day and night, land and air battle, 5000 civil-military coordination of search and rescue
Reporters just 800 metres away from the rescue scene, can be clearly heard one after another the engine ROAR. Time slip in the tension efficient and extreme caution.
-4th at about 8 o'clock in the evening.
At this point, the evening Moon break up the rainy days of lingering. 8 bollard on the hull for cable force searchers in the cold water and the ship continued between shuttle.
--5 morning.
Next to the wreck, two large hoisting boats use lifting equipment to huge cables under the hull out of the water. At this point, salvaging technician jobs by the end of the ship, divers dive again and again under the dark water, surfaced again, doing final preparations for wreck the overall strengthening.
--At about 6 o'clock in the morning.
Strengthening operations raised the waters of fog. A vast expanse of the River in the distance. Relief efforts encounter sudden challenges, temporarily stalled.
– About 7 o'clock.
In people eagerly look forward to, the Sun finally out of the clouds, through thick fog, River, the landscape gradually clear up. With the high command ordered, strengthening the operation officially began. Machine roared, sturdy crane slowly stand up, hook tied hull firmly grab the cable, pull cable slowly stretching straight, the wreck began a slow turn.
– 7:40.
Capsized hull has been strengthening to 90 degrees. Two 500-ton crane ship involved in righting operations, install 500 metres by 400 metres downstream barrier. Hull side turned slowly, revealing "Orient Star" four characters, blue and white hull out of the water.
– 9:6.
Shipwreck has completely Centralizer. Original ceiling has the wreck out of the water in the river bottom, but most of the hull in the water. Meanwhile, hull is damaged, leaking oil in the river slowly spread. After righting the wreck, workers quickly laid linoleum and other equipment. More debris also drifted out of the water, rescuers immediately to salvage the floats.
– After 15 o'clock.
Bow replaced the complete parts of the cables, and began to make adjustments to the aft steel cable, which will ship in the water, reducing the weight of float. Two lifting machines and jobs, because only stable force in order to ensure safe lifting.
– 16:30.
Along with the boom, cable pulling, the River a bit of overflow from the cabin and hull are slowly rising. Reporters saw the "star of the East" the blue ceiling had turned past the edge of the ship.
– 18:35.
Above the main deck, completely out of the wreck, "star of the East" words are clearly visible, staff proceeded below decks bin pumping operations.
– 19:15.
Shipwrecks in the overall strengthening was lifted out of the water. Many people can't help but watch, read this important moment gently. Meanwhile, drainage works carried out, site is also commissioning the lighting, to prepare personnel to enter the cabin.
It is reported that nearly 5,000 troops and people involved in the rescue at the scene. Fuzheng surfaced in the implementation of operations, and 50 divers were divided into 3 groups work through the night. In addition, the site also has an air force helicopter and 59 construction machinery. Surface, air, and land, rescue still tensions continue.
Difficulties slow progress, expected the process lasted about 5 hours a day
Despite the foreseen in the wreck to pull Centralizer, floating and towing three stages will encounter many difficulties and develop a detailed programme, but a sudden accident or was slow progress by strengthening, lasted nearly to the original expected about 5 hours a day.
First difficulty is wearing slings wire rope.
Department of transportation spokesman Xu Chengguang introduced, overall strengthening and floating work is conducted in two steps, first to cable traction wreck, the Organization divers batches into the bottom, before and after the sinking two bitts mat steel cable of the Department; the second step is for strengthening the body resistance and floating, organizing lifting righting the ship operation.
But because the fourth cables across the bow into the difficult and takes a long time, cause the strengthening job failed to start. Had just arrived from a strengthening job site command, said Zhu Ruming, Deputy Director of the Yangtze River waterway authority, hull laying cable is very difficult, laying cable channel found is even harder, put the cable through the channel is even harder.
Each channel needs to divers and work, because the underwater vision is poor, flow speed, divers need to try many times. Diving has 16 years experience in the East China Sea fleet diver Zhang Hucheng told reporters that about 1 hour each time they launch, it depends entirely on exploration, although there is strong light torch, but the water is very muddy, underwater to see almost anything.
Introduced Zhu Ruming, a difficult passage during the operation, they sent 6 teams of divers, but cable is stuck by rocks and hull, and had to give up, was replaced by a new channel. However, new channels and more difficult. Due to the ship's rail and bed 90 degrees cable clamp between the stone, leading to fracture.
The second difficulty is constantly encountered during the construction of the bodies of the victims.
"If there are the remains of the victims, adheres to the principle of respect for life, we will immediately stop the construction, with related staff have transferred the remains. "Xu Chengguang said, divers will be Threading the cable relocation, to ensure that the victims ' bodies intact.
Dalian Maritime University in Professor Zhu Yuzhu also said to slow the process of lifting, this is the maximum protection of the deceased, otherwise it will cause secondary damage to the bodies of the victims. In addition, to protect the site, has an important role to restore the last moments of the victims.
A third difficulty is in the process of strengthening the hull needs to be uniform, fast pace.
Involved in the rescue of Dalian Maritime University in Professor Xiong Wei said regional river silt and rocks on the bottom of the wreck and wreck close to the river upside down, increase the difficulty of construction. While wreck structure complex and into a lot of water, uneven weight distribution, to grasp the pace of construction.
Experts said that strengthening is a very meticulous job, is very serious and the difficulties encountered, in order to promote steady and carefully formulated a very detailed scheme, throughout the process, overall, steadily.
Try not to give up, maximum protection of dignity of the deceased
Since the 4th night, wreck fuzheng phase of search and rescue work. Why in the time to make this decision? Said Xu Chengguang, combined with the recent results of search results and used life detectors, found no more survivors and signs of life, according to the comprehensive research and analysis experts, another survivor hopes are fading for the hull, in the context of overall judgment gave the people, can be implemented overall strengthening.
Meanwhile, overall strengthening and float as soon as possible to troubleshoot the full range of all compartments, to search for missing persons in the shortest possible time, and maximum protection of the dignity of the deceased. In addition, the Centralizer and floating operations in line with international practice and professional practices, field equipment and facilities are complete, preparations are already in place, with strengthening the body resistance and ability to float, and drawn from the national salvage rescue, ship building and repairing the hull and other experts and technicians in the field, provides technical support for the work.
As the ship slowly float, boat out of the water, pumping, body finishing work at the same time. Experts will check for hull structure into and epidemic prevention experts to the job, and then troops into the cabin to search for. Also, it would take "investigative, breaking, elimination, Pack, transport" and other steps to rescue the ship and the handling of the remains of the victims.
Reporters on the scene saw, wave erosion, various parts of the wreck has been broken, Stern left the boat almost right next to the floor. Aft corridor railings almost all distortion, hanger hanging above, also airing the two-coloured shirt with short sleeves.
In the search and rescue work continued to expand at the same time, cause investigation has been carried out. Xu Chengguang revealed that organizations lean and authoritative technical experts, in line with scientific and precise manner, in accordance with the principle of not justifying, must not disguise, respect science, respect the facts, carefully identify, extrapolate, and learn from them.
At present, relevant departments have been investigations, evidence gathering for surviving crew. (Xinhua News Agency reporters Xu Haibo, Chen, Feng Guodong, Li Pengxiang, and Pi Shuchu, and Wang Xian, and Liang Jianqiang, and Huang yan, and Shen 翀, Li Wei) [Editor: Liu Xuyao]
