How many people were killed at Intercontinental Jiuzhai Paradise Hotel in Sichuan?

At 3pm on August 9th, I learned from InterContinental Hotels Group that after the earthquake, two hotels of InterContinental Hotels Group were in the disaster-stricken area, and the building of Intercontinental Jiuzhai Paradise Hotel was affected. According to the relevant person in charge of the group, up to now, 1 guest and 2 staff members have been confirmed dead, and 18 people have been injured and sent to hospital.

In addition, Holiday Inn Jia Fan Ancient City in Jiuzhai Paradise confirmed that there were no casualties. Other hotels in Sichuan IHG have not been affected. After the incident, the two hotels have been temporarily closed, all guests have been safely transferred to Songpan County, and they are gradually withdrawing from Jiuzhaigou area.

If the guest wants to cancel the reservation of the affected hotel or change the reservation to another hotel, he can cancel it for free. At the same time, if you want to know the situation of the guests, you can call the emergency hotline of IHG: 02 1-20334808 (7:00-23:00 every day).

At present, there have been many aftershocks, and there is light rain at the scene, and the temperature is between 8 ~ 16 degrees Celsius. The live communication of Jiuzhai Paradise is basically paralyzed, and only a few operators can guarantee the basic communication.

Lu Zhihua, chief of staff of Aba Fire Brigade, said that Jiuzhai Paradise Building is a brick-concrete structure with large span, large space and poor main bearing capacity. At present, it is "overall deformation and partial collapse." There are slight aftershocks, and the risk of secondary collapse is great. "
