Two hotel buildings collapsed in Hailuogou, the epicenter of the Sichuan earthquake. Were there any casualties when the accident occurred?

So far, there have been casualties in the two hotels. Three of them were successfully rescued, while another tourist died after being rescued.

Earthquake-prone areas around the world are basically located around 30 degrees north latitude. Especially at the junctions of plates, earthquakes and other crustal movements are more likely to occur. Whenever an earthquake disaster occurs, it will always cause widespread building collapse and casualties. This is something no one wants to see, especially for the families of the victims. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue. It has brought a painful blow to the families of the victims. It is indeed very unfortunate to be killed in the earthquake. But the current top priority is to deal with rescue and post-disaster reconstruction issues. Two hotel buildings collapsed in Hailuogou, the epicenter of the earthquake in Sichuan.

Due to the serious geological disaster that occurred in Sichuan, the Hailuogou Scenic Area was the center of the earthquake disaster. The two hotels in the scenic area have all collapsed, and the relevant search work is still in progress. So far, based on what is known. Rescuers searched for four tourists among the collapsed rubble, and three of them were rescued safely. Another tourist died due to ineffective rescue efforts. Fortunately, the earthquake occurred during the day. According to the person in charge of the hotel, basically all tourists did not stay in the hotel during the day and had already visited the scenic spots. Therefore, the number of passenger casualties has been reduced to a great extent, which is also a blessing among misfortunes. Do a good job in cleaning up the ruins.

In addition, we should also do a good job of psychological work on the ruins. At the same time, search and rescue dogs and rescuers should be dispatched urgently to conduct a comprehensive search for the ruins of the collapsed hotel. To ensure that no tourist is left out, all hotel building ruins must be cleared away. This can, to a large extent, prevent trapped persons from being discovered. Of course, the same is true in other areas, and there can be no sloppiness in the search work.
