Falling objects: the pain hanging over Bengbu city

Pay attention to the "side effects" of high-rise residential buildings (④)

Falling objects: the pain that enveloped the city □ Our reporter Li Jing

Not long ago, a child in Sichuan was knocked down by an iron ball falling from the sky and died unfortunately. In fact, with the gradual popularization of high-rise residential buildings in cities, falling objects from high altitude, as an unsafe and uncivilized phenomenon, also appear around us. Some buildings have hidden dangers of falling objects from high altitude, and some citizens have uncivilized behaviors of throwing objects from high altitude. Sometimes, it is the residents living in high-rise buildings who throw the sundries upstairs at will, and sometimes, it is the flowerpots and other sundries placed on the balcony that are blown off by the wind. Whatever the reason, falling objects from high altitude has become a "pain hanging over the city", which not only puzzles the lives of citizens, but also threatens their lives and property. How to eliminate the security risks hanging over you and me?

Moving to a new home is a happy event. However, for Ms. Zhang who moved into the famous city of Jinyu, it didn't take long to move into the new house, but there was one thing that made her feel very upset.

One day, Ms. Zhang was outside the balcony in bask in the quilt as usual. Unexpectedly, when she came home from work to collect the quilt, the scene in front of her stunned her, and the quilt was stained with a lot of dirty garbage. The building where Ms. Zhang lives, 1 1 floor, has dozens of households. Who threw it upstairs? There is no way to be sure that "I have suspected which neighbor likes to throw garbage, but the surveillance can't catch it and there is no evidence." In a rage, Ms. Zhang took the quilt to find the property company to reflect, but the property company was also very embarrassed because it was impossible to determine which household threw it.

I don't know which neighbor threw garbage and blocked my heart. The property company in Deren Community of Qingda has also encountered this kind of distress. Chen Ying, Dacheng property manager in charge of the residential area, said that just upstairs next to the property office building, some people whose quality needs to be improved threw away their domestic garbage. "I lost it at night, and it is difficult to monitor it. I can only clean it up immediately after cleaning it in the morning."

Chen Ying said that because the downstairs is located in the green belt, the discarded garbage often falls into the green belt, and there were no serious casualties and vehicle damage.

In contrast, Miss Mei, a citizen who lives in Riverside Bund Garden, suffers a little. In the early morning of February 6, 65438, Miss Mei went out to work as usual and just arrived downstairs. The scene in front of her stunned her: her car was parked in the temporary parking space of the community the night before, and the skylight glass was smashed by a metal door. Looking at the broken glass of the new car, Miss Mei was distressed and angry, but she couldn't help but feel a burst of fear. "If someone happened to go to this position at that time, the consequences would be really unimaginable."

Miss Mei immediately chose to pick up the phone and call the police. Yan' an police station police quickly arrived at the scene to collect evidence. At that time, the police surnamed Zhou introduced that it was a falling object from the scene. However, because the surveillance camera of the community did not capture the starting point of the "culprit" falling, it is difficult to determine which household, man-made parabolic objects or sundries fell.

"I consulted a lawyer. If I want to be held accountable, I can take legal proceedings to sue the residents on the second floor and above of the whole building. However, weighing the cost of repairing cars and spending a lot of energy on lawsuits, I finally have to admit that I am unlucky. " Miss mei is extremely depressed.

The reporter learned from the judicial department that in recent years, there have been many cases of lawsuits for falling objects from high altitude. However, like Ms. Mei and Ms. Zhang, this happened more or less in many communities visited by reporters at random. Some residents told reporters that on July 20 this year, the outer wall skin of building Dingyuan Mansion 1 in Baidaji Square fell from more than 30 floors, smashing several private cars parked on the roadside and breaking some street trees.

Falling objects are really hard to prevent, and the danger seems to hang over the residents all the time.

Like a knotted knot.

How much damage will falling objects do?

According to scientific research data, throwing a 30-gram egg from the fourth floor will give people a swollen bag; Throwing from the eighth floor can break the scalp; Falling from 18 floor can smash people's skulls; Falling from the 25th floor will kill you instantly. A small stone with a big thumb may hurt people's scalp if it falls on the fourth floor, and it will directly kill people if it falls on the 25th floor.

With the increasingly compact urban space, there are more and more high-rise buildings around us, and the number of high-altitude hanging objects such as billboards, air conditioners and flower pots is also increasing. It is also increasing. Falling objects are not uncommon. Objects falling from the sky, as small as paper towels, stone cores and toothpicks, as large as clothes hangers and flower pots, and even more shocking are window sashes, steel plates and billboards, which have become social security risks and affected the living environment and life and property safety of citizens.

"Those who cause serious personal injury shall bear criminal responsibility." Lawyer Cui said that the provision of evidence is very important in such cases. "If the victim has really suffered personal injury and property loss, and can provide evidence such as surveillance video and witness proof materials, he can generally get corresponding compensation."

It is understood that the current law stipulates that falling objects from high altitude are: "If throwing objects from buildings or falling objects from buildings causes damage to others, and it is difficult to determine the specific infringer, in addition to being able to prove that he is not an infringer, the user of the building that may cause damage will be compensated." However, in recent years, falling objects all over the country often lead to serious consequences before they are dealt with and taken seriously, and most of the rest are gone.

People are paying more and more attention to security costs. However, the difficulty of obtaining evidence often becomes the bottleneck to quickly solve the problem of falling objects from high altitude.

"For falling objects, especially high-altitude throwing,

We used to have doubts about the individual tenants of the property. Sometimes the security guard will go upstairs to remind and knock on the door to warn, but generally the other party will not admit it without direct evidence. Wu Shuo, head of security in Jinyu City.

Wu introduced that in order to catch the people who spilled domestic garbage, they once adjusted the camera monitoring equipment in the community, but after the adjustment, they failed to photograph this behavior for some time. "Monitoring should also ensure daily use. When it is adjusted back to the normal angle, I don't know when the parabola will suddenly appear. "

"Due to the lack of monitoring equipment, it is difficult to verify the perpetrators; Without serious consequences, it is often difficult to attract attention. " Dr. Lei, a researcher at Anhui Community Research Institute of Anhui University of Finance, said.

Systematic punishment and neighborhood care simultaneously

65438+On the afternoon of February 19, Wu Fang Ligament climbed the platform of Unit 2 of a building in the community again with several security guards to clean up the garbage such as mineral water bottles scattered on it. Lao Wucan can can't remember how many times he took the security guard to work as a high-altitude cleaner. Every half a month or so, they will move the ladder to repeat this cleaning.

In addition, they posted a reminder in every building that it is forbidden to throw objects at high altitude. When patrolling every day, the security guard will hold a horn to remind the owner to pay attention to falling objects and not to throw debris into the building.

In order to prevent falling objects from high altitude, the relevant management departments also put forward a number of requirements for the management of property companies. Wang Hengchang, director of the Economic Development Zone Property Office, said that property companies need to fulfill their warning obligations while eliminating potential safety hazards. "According to the regulations, clothes hangers installed outside the window are also not allowed. But in fact, a considerable number of owners do not listen to the tips of the property company to discourage them, laying a hidden danger for falling objects. "

As a common phenomenon in many parts of the country, falling objects from high altitude are not local characteristics. Whether it is a conscious high-altitude parabolic object or an unconscious high-altitude falling object, how to reduce falling objects and prevent accidents is the topic that citizens are most concerned about.

Chen Xiaojie, an associate professor in the Marxist-Leninist Teaching and Research Department of the Party School of the Municipal Party Committee, believes that Hong Kong's practice can be used for reference in rectifying falling objects. Hong Kong stipulates that "if someone falls or allows anything to fall from a building, causing danger or injury to people in or near public places, the person who falls or allows anything to fall commits an offence and is liable to a fine of/kloc-HK$ 0/10,000 and imprisonment for 6 months". In addition, in order to effectively enforce the law, Hong Kong has also set up a "special task force for the detection of high-altitude throwing objects" to monitor high-altitude throwing objects.

"From the perspective of the community, the first thing is to strengthen the supervision of the property, do a good job in the inspection and maintenance of the external wall of the building, install cameras, and monitor it in all directions. Government departments should strengthen accountability. " She suggested that while strengthening publicity and strict management, we should also improve the social compensation system, such as accident insurance, accident fund and no-fault compensation system.

In the survey, Wang Xiumei, a volunteer from Jinyu Community, told reporters that in the past two years, with the promotion of the creation of a civilized city, the phenomenon of deliberate parabolic in Zhanggongshan Village has almost disappeared. "There were indeed many in the past. Now our community is so clean and tidy. Who wants to throw it around at will? Moreover, our neighbors have known each other for many years, and whoever litters can be immediately found and stopped by neighbors. "

According to Zhang, the stationmaster of Jinyu Community Volunteer Service Station, the magic weapon to solve the "parabolic" problem in old communities comes from harmonious neighborhood relations. "Neighborhood feeling" is just one of the focuses of her current promotion of community volunteer activities. "Neighborhood get along well, know each other empathy, will naturally pay attention to consider the details. For example, will the laundry dripping wet the quilt downstairs? Will the flowerpot be accidentally knocked off by the windowsill? "

"Don't be petty. Each of us should form good habits, be civilized and self-disciplined at all times, and enhance citizens' sense of responsibility. This phenomenon will gradually be eliminated. " Zhang said to him.

conclusion

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are topics that everyone can't live without. On the road to a well-off society in an all-round way, housing is a key link to pin people's life feelings and expectations. When more and more high-rise buildings rise in cities, when we move to high-rise residential buildings with elevators, when the joy of staying fades, the "side effects" such as safety management and neighborhood relations of high-rise residential buildings gradually appear. It has been more than two months since 10, and our series of articles on high-rise residential buildings are drawing to a close. However, with the pace of urban development and changes, new changes, new problems and new normals in any link of food, clothing, housing and transportation need more people and more departments to calm down, think seriously and solve them one by one. On the road of universal concern for society, our eyes will never stop, and our steps will never stop. (Editor Wang)
