Why is there a water outage at No. 8 Wujing Road, Kunming City?

In 1976, a major earthquake occurred in Tangshan City, China.

The Tangshan earthquake is the most tragic chapter in the world’s earthquake history of more than 400 years.

Deaths: 242,769 people, serious injuries: 164,851 people

Twenty-four thousand people are undoubtedly a sad whole. Years ago, it took away the complete vitality and emotion...

□3 hours, 42 minutes and 53.8 seconds...

History will always remember this coordinate of the earth: 118.2 East Longitude °, 39.6° north latitude.

Humanity will always remember this moment in history: July 28, 1976 AD, 3:42:53:80 Beijing time.

The rocks underground in Tangshan City suddenly collapsed! Broken! It was as if four hundred Hiroshima atomic bombs suddenly exploded in the earth's crust sixteen kilometers above the ground!

Lightning flashed and thunder shook over Tangshan; strong winds roared on the earth. In the violent shaking, this industrial city with a population of one million was razed to the ground in an instant.

The entire land of North China was shaking violently.

There was a loud noise of houses collapsing in Tianjin, and the Australian Prime Minister who was visiting the city was awakened; Beijing was shaking, the Monument to the People's Heroes was trembling, and the thick beams and columns on the Tiananmen Gate sounded like they were breaking. A "quacking" sound.

In the land of China, stretching from Harbin in the north to Bengbu in Anhui and Qingjiang in Jiangsu in the south, Dengkou in Inner Mongolia and Wuzhong in Ningxia in the west, and Bohai Bay islands and the Northeastern border in the east, people in this vast area They all felt unusually shaken. Powerful seismic waves spread throughout the earth at a speed and manner that people cannot feel.

A thrilling alarm bell suddenly sounded at the Palmer Observatory in Alaska, USA, and the state of Alaska jumped up and down an eighth of an inch. According to the U.S. National Geological Survey: One hundred miles southeast of Beijing, China, at 39.6° north latitude and 118.1° east longitude, an earthquake of magnitude 8.2 occurred near Tianjin.

Japan announced that an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 to 8.2 occurred in China. The epicenter was in Inner Mongolia, at 43° north latitude and 115° east longitude.

Sweden announced that an 8.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in China.

The Royal Observatory in Hong Kong announced that an earthquake of about magnitude 8 occurred in China, with the epicenter at 39.6° north latitude and 118.1° east longitude, very close to Tangshan.

The Central Meteorological Bureau in Taipei, China, said that an earthquake of magnitude 8 occurred in China.

China's Xinhua News Agency broadcast the following news to the world on July 28: Xinhua News Agency reported on July 28, 1976: Tangshan-Fengnan area in the Jidong region of Hebei Province, my country, July 2 A strong earthquake occurred at 3:42 on the 18th. ...

□ Nature warned

It seems to be an unforeseen and unstoppable catastrophe, but nature did warn. These warnings made it possible to recollect those disasters after they occurred. Those seismologists who read the data felt horrified and thought deeply. However, for "7.28", all this is too late.

1. Terrible fish

According to fishermen in Caijiapu and Beidaihe areas, the fish are like crazy. Around July 28, all kinds of fish floated up and turned white, making them easy to catch. Fishermen encountered unprecedented good luck.

Near the Qimen River Gate, naked children use small nets to catch fish. The fish literally jump into the nets, and they can catch dozens of kilograms of fish in a few hours.

Chen Yucheng from Zhaogezhuang Coal Mine in Tangshan City said that on July 24, the two goldfish in his home fish tank jumped out of the water and jumped out of the tank. The goldfish that jumped out were released. When we got back, the goldfish actually kept screaming.

Huo Shanhua from the Baigezhuang Fish Farm in Tangshan said that on July 25, there was an uproar in the fish pond. Grass carp jumped in groups, and some jumped more than a foot high out of the water. What's even more surprising is that some fish are standing upside down on the water surface with their tails pointing upwards and their heads downwards, spinning quickly like a spiral.

On the sea surface of Dagukou, Tianjin, south of Tangshan, the crew of the "Changhu" oil tanker said that on July 27, the number of jellyfish around the tanker suddenly increased, and groups of small fish swam hurriedly. Just swim back and forth, put down the hook, and you can catch more than a hundred fish in a short time.

2. Flying insects, birds and bats that have lost their "rationality"

On the sea surface of Dagukou, Tianjin, south of Tangshan, the crew of the "Changhu" oil tanker witnessed that on July 25, the air on the sea surface around the oil tanker With a squeaking sound, a large group of dragonflies with dark green wings flew over and settled on the ship's windows, masts and sides. They were densely packed and motionless, allowing anyone to catch and drive them away. None of them took off. Soon, the commotion on the boat became even greater. A large group of colorful butterflies, earth-colored locusts, black cicadas, as well as many sparrows and unknown birds also flew over. It was like an unexpected big party. Finally, a colorful budgerigar flew up and stood motionless at the stern of the boat.

Both Muchang Commune and Xiyingmen Commune on the outskirts of Tianjin saw hundreds of bats flying randomly in the sky in broad daylight.

In the home of a commune member of Xitangtuo Brigade, Panzhuang Commune, Ninghai County, south of Tangshan, since July 25, the old swallow under the beam has been going crazy, pulling the young swallows out of the nest every day After throwing it out, the owner picked up Xiaoyan, and then was thrown out by Lao Yan.

On July 27th, Old Yan flew away with the remaining two young Yans.

On July 27, members of the Qian'an Township commune saw dragonflies flying in like locusts. The flight procession was more than 100 meters wide, from east to west, and lasted for about 15 minutes. When the dragonfly flies over, there is a buzzing sound, which is so powerful that it makes people stunned.

3. The Great Migration of the Animal Kingdom

On July 27, people in Wanggaishan, Luannan County, Tangshan Prefecture saw with their own eyes swarms of rats running around in panic. The big rats led the little ones, and the little ones ran away. Then they bite each other's tails and form a chain. Some people were curious and chased us, but a well-intentioned person tried to stop them and said, "Don't fight, I'm afraid you'll get wet."

On the morning of July 25, someone saw more than a hundred weasels in Funing County. The big ones carried the small ones on their backs or carried the small ones in their mouths and squeezed out of the hole in the ancient wall, moving towards the village. When it was dark, there were more than a dozen of them wandering around under a walnut tree. Five of them were killed on the spot, while the rest were wailing incessantly, with a sense of panic that they were about to die. On the 26th and 27th, the group of weasels continued to move outside the village, creating an atmosphere of panic.

Sensitive flying insects, birds and animals of all sizes took the first step to escape earlier than humans. However, humans did not realize that this was a warning from nature. They never imagined that a huge disaster that would destroy all living things was approaching.

4. Elusive Message

Nature is indeed warning humans.

On the coastline southeast of Tangshan, the waves are making a soul-stirring noise. Since late July, fishermen in the Beidaihe area have been puzzled as to why the reef, which had always been exposed to the sea, was swallowed up by the sea water. In the sea area from Caijiabao to Dashentang, which is closer to Tangshan, fishermen don't seem to believe their eyes: why has the water that was always clear and clear turned into a muddy yellow? In the depths of the unquiet sea, it's like a legendary dragon's tail is swinging, stirring the soil deep under the sea.

According to a diver working in the waters near Qinhuangdao at the time, he saw a colorful band of light, like a golden fire dragon, that disappeared in an instant.

Water! Water is also sending a warning to humans!

There is a well in Gaokan Commune, Luan County, Tangshan Prefecture. The well is not deep, and water can usually be lifted with a carrying pole. However, on July 27, someone suddenly discovered that the well was hanging from a carrying pole. The bucket he was holding could no longer reach the surface of the water. He turned around and went home to get the well rope. Unexpectedly, the water that had dropped suddenly rose again. Not only did he not need the well rope, but he could also fill the bucket directly with the bucket! In those days, in some villages near Tangshan, some ponds dried up inexplicably, and water spouts rose in some places. water! Water that suddenly falls and rises! What message of nature is it conveying to humans? !

A rain measuring radar on the top of Fodi in Yanqing County, more than 200 kilometers away from Tangshan and an altitude of 1,350 meters, and an air force warning radar nearby, on the 26th and 2nd On the 17th, a strange fan-shaped finger-shaped echo was continuously received from the sky above Beijing, Tianjin, and Tang Dynasty. This echo is different from the echo caused by wave interference, clear-air turbulence, etc., which makes the monitoring personnel very confused. People in Beijing, Tianjin and Tang Dynasty are walking through this powerful magnetic field without any awareness.

On July 27, in a military camp in the north of Tangshan, several soldiers screamed. They found a pile of steel bars in the ground that inexplicably emitted shining light, as if an invisible man was there. Burn electric welding.

In the Beijing, Tianjin and Tang areas, fluorescent lights turned off in many people’s homes are still strangely on in the middle of the night.

In the Linxi mining area of ????Tangshan, a light yellow fog floats, which is blinding and confusing. People were confused by the peculiar smell. They could no longer see clearly what the world looked like, let alone what tragedy was brewing in nature. If all this strange information could be collected, concentrated, transmitted, and processed in a timely manner, then the description of this disaster might be completely different. What a pity the opportunity was lost! People blinked with confused eyes and walked in confusion and unconsciously into the late night of July 27th.

5. The late night of "7.27" before the great destruction

Wang Cai of the Thatched Camp Brigade of Liyuan Commune in the suburbs of Tangshan City went home after watching a movie at twelve o'clock in the night and saw four ducks still standing outside the door. When they saw their master, they screamed in unison, stretched their necks, spread their wings, and staggered toward him. Wherever Wang Cai walked, they chased him and twisted his trouser legs with their mouths.

Wang Chunheng from Liyuan Commune on the outskirts of Tangshan City saw with his own eyes the cat in his second uncle’s house scratching people through the tent, and had to scratch them to wake them up.

That night, people within hundreds of kilometers around Tangshan heard the sharp barking of dogs for a long time.

The wolf dog raised by Li Xiaosheng in Da'an Gezhuang, Yingezhuang Commune, Tangshan City, refused to let him sleep that night. The dog couldn't bark at him, so it bit him hard on the leg, which hurt him. Jump up and chase this faithful dog.

Liu Wenliang, a member of Lijizhuang Brigade of Biwuzhuang Commune in Fengnan County, was woken up by a dog barking late at night. At that time, his dog was scratching his door vigorously in the courtyard, so he opened the door and let the dog in. The dog wanted to drag him out of the house.

The dog of Zhang Hongxiang’s family in Angezhai Brigade, Liubeizhai Commune, Zunhua County, Tangshan City also kept barking until the Zhang family got out of bed. The dog bit Zhang Hongxiang’s brother on the leg. As if leading the way, he ran towards the outside of the house.

The wife of Wang Youcai from the Peking Brigade of Langaozhuang Commune in Fengnan County came home from the commune that night and just walked to the door. The family's male dog suddenly jumped at her from the door and prevented her from entering the hospital.

The night is getting deeper and deeper. It was a night full of noise. July 28th came in this uneasy atmosphere.

At 1:30, Zhang Chunzhu of Dashantou Mink Farm in Funing County was awakened by a "squeaking" sound. All 415 minks in the audience were jumping around in the cages like a camp was exploding. , terrified.

At the same time, there was also chaos in the chicken farm of Suguantun Brigade, Baiguantun Commune, Fengrun County: more than a thousand chickens were scurrying back and forth, going up to the windowsill and clucking strangely.

At around three o'clock, more than a hundred horses in the Yanggu Tower Brigade of Zuojiawu Commune, Fengrun County, all broke their reins, scrambled out of the stables, and ran wildly on the road.

It’s right in front of you. Several melon watchers in Changli County saw that the sky more than 200 meters away from them suddenly brightened up, making the ground white, and the melon leaves and vines in the watermelon field were clearly distinguishable. "What, it's dawn?", but when I looked at the watch, it was only three o'clock. It's strange that the sky has become dark again, and it's like being stained with ink.

At that moment, the earth was immersed in the tranquility before destruction.

Obviously, before the Tangshan earthquake, many people received warning signals from nature. These signals are not unique—sultry weather can make chickens and dogs restless, and continuous rain can cause well water to surge. People use the most common experiences to explain those "abnormalities."

In the "Seismic Information Bulletin" published by the United States Geological Survey in 1978, a humorous photo was published: a chimpanzee with its eyes closed and its mouth open, screaming in terror. Above the photo is written "Why can I predict earthquakes but earthquake scientists can't?" This is human self-blame. However, people often forget that humans are social animals. Even in the struggle with nature, humans can only show their strength as a whole. When people fight on their own, they have no more advantages than animals. Relying solely on instinct, humans are even inferior to animals. In the face of such a major and mysterious natural disaster as an earthquake, people have not formed a crime prevention unit and have no corresponding communication channels and means to collect and process abnormal information in nature in a timely manner. How can they not be defeated by the sudden demons one by one? ?

Always remember nature’s warnings.

□ Eyewitness accounts

1. Li Hongyi (Nurse at No. 255 Hospital)

That night, I was on duty for the rest of the night. It was hot and stuffy in the first half of the night, making it impossible to sleep. I was so sleepy after taking over the shift that I stayed in the ward until 3:30, then I ran outside to enjoy the cool air. It was strangely quiet all around. The frogs were usually croaking, but why was there no sound at all? The silence was frightening.

Suddenly, I heard a strange sound, "squeak--" flying over my head. The sound was sharp and thin, like a knife cutting across the sky. I shivered and got goosebumps all over my body. I looked up at the sky, which was gloomy. There was a piece of strange-shaped colorful clouds, red or purple, and the sky was very dim. I thought it was going to rain, so I got up and walked inside. But I felt inexplicably panicked, as if someone was going to chase me from behind and catch me at any time. I am usually very courageous, but at that time I was terribly scared, my heart was beating wildly, and I started running inexplicably. I turned my head and saw that it was extremely bright in the west, as if there was a fire, and I couldn't hear anyone shouting. It looked like death everywhere. I became more and more nervous, so I quickly ran into the house, turned on the light, and locked the door.

At this time I heard a loud "woo-woo" sound, like a hundred and eighty cars starting at the same time. "Oops", I heard this sound in Cangzhou during the Xingtai earthquake. I immediately thought: it was an earthquake.

As he spoke, the house shook violently, and the thermos bottle on the table fell to the ground and exploded to pieces. I opened the door with all my strength, only opening it half way, and rushed out of the house towards the big tree in front of the house.

I hugged the tree tightly. In the darkness, I could only feel the earth shaking, and the big tree and I were falling into an abyss. I couldn't hear the sound of the house collapsing at all. I only saw the shadow of the dormitory building. It was there just now and disappeared after a while.

I stretched out my hand and waved it in front of my eyes, but I couldn't see anything clearly. I was so frightened that I yelled with all my strength.

2. Tian Yu'an (farmer from the rice field brigade in Fengnan County, Tangshan)

Ahem, it's really scary.

The newly appointed captain asked everyone to work overnight because he was afraid of missing the farming season.

The work was finished after three o'clock. Others packed up their things and went back to the village, leaving only me and one other person to clean up the place. Suddenly, it felt like a thunder exploded above the head, "rumbling--" the ground shook! I felt like I was being swept to the ground by a sweeper. I turned to the left and then rolled to the right. I couldn't hold myself up. The lights on the field suddenly went out. Turning around, oh my god, that's scary! A fireball emerged from the ground, red and dazzling, crackling and flying into the air before extinguishing.

At dawn, I saw a crack where the fireball jumped out, and the soil on both sides was scorched.

3. Zhang Keying (Tangshan Railway Station Attendant)

I will never forget the loud noise of the earthquake.

That day, I got up at around two o'clock and was on duty, responsible for selling platform tickets.

At about three o'clock, I heard someone shouting, "It's going to rain! It's going to rain!" I hurried out to move my newly bought bicycle, and saw that the sky was dim and red, as if something was flashing. People in the square in front of the station rushed to the waiting room, looking for a place to hide from the rain. At that time, there were more than 200 people in the waiting room. People who picked up the bus, got on the bus, and got off the bus were waiting for the morning bus. It was very noisy. I still remember a pair of young people asking me to buy platform tickets to pick up the train from Beijing. I told them: "I don't have a car right now, so I'd better buy it after five o'clock." They didn't leave but waited in front of the window. Who would have thought that a big earthquake would happen just like that.

Before the earthquake, I was talking to Master Chen next door when I heard "Bang!!!". The sound shook everyone. I thought it was two high-speed trains colliding. Before he could shout, the lights in the entire waiting room went out and it was pitch black. The house shook and the waiting room was in chaos. Calling daddy, calling mommy, people stepping on others, things touching things, everything. First, I heard the sound of "Plop! Plop!" The chandelier and ceiling fan fell and hit people on the head. The adults and children who were hit screamed one after another. After a while, there was a "rumbling" sound, and the entire station hall fell, almost all of the more than 200 people were smashed inside. Thanks to the room door falling sideways on the "small items storage" shelf, I was caught in the middle and no serious injuries were sustained. I heard two screams very close to me:

“Oh—”

“Oh my God—”

I could hear it, It was the young man and woman. They only shouted this once, never a second time...

□ Dawn on the verge of death

Tangshan lost its dawn for the first time.

It is shrouded in fog. Lime, loess, coal dust, soot and the dead matter produced when a city was destroyed mixed into a gray fog. The extremely thick fog filled the air and floated, rising piece by piece, wisp by wisp, like a curtain slowly suspended in the air, silently covering this ruins and this silent doomsday place. city.

We can no longer hear the loud noise like a nuclear explosion during a major earthquake, or the deep gasps when the earth trembles. Just a few hours ago, Tangshan was so beautiful. Now, its limbs are broken and dying.

In the heavy fog:

Tangshan Railway Station, the eastern track curves in a serpentine shape, and its outline is like a flat iron gourd.

The seven-story building of Kailuan Hospital has become a triangular leaning tower like a tomb, with only two ward-sized buildings remaining on the top, leaning precariously on a remnant wall that may collapse at any time. On the floor, all the balconies collapsed. The balcony on the third floor fell vertically onto the balcony on the second floor, barely falling.

The cement road at Tangshan No. 10 Middle School was broken in the middle, with one section to the left and the other to the right, dislocated by as much as one meter.

......

What is even more shocking is that in the place where the "7.28" earthquake ground fissures passed through, the Tangshan Prefectural Committee Party School, Dongxinjie Primary School, and the Regional Agricultural Research Institute The house, as well as the entire Lunan residential area, disappeared as if touched by a giant hand. A natural prank has changed Tangshan beyond recognition. Bridges have broken, chimneys have collapsed, trains have derailed, scattered concrete beams and columns are swaying, fallen floors are hanging in the air, and broken walls are everywhere...

In the thick fog, no groans or shouts could be heard, only the sound of mechanical footsteps, heavy breathing, and the mountain of corpses piled higher and higher on the roadside! The head was crushed, the feet were smashed, the body was flattened, the chest was pierced... the most shocking thing was the corpses hanging on the dangerous buildings. Some only had one hand pressed by the floor, and their heads were hanging upside down; some had their feet crushed when they jumped from the building, leaving them hanging upside down in the air. This is the most sensitive group of victims. They have woken up from their sleep and escaped, but their escape route was cut off by death. There was a young mother who had already leaned half out of the third-floor window, and the heavy floorboard fell down and pressed her on the window sill. She died in mid-air, holding the child in her arms. At the moment of death, she instinctively protected the little life. As the dangerous building trembled in the aftershocks, my mother's fallen hair swayed in the mist.

All kinds of figures swayed in the gray fog. They were stunned and staggering, like a group of dreamwalkers who were thrown into a strange planet in a trance. Everything was numb, including their tear glands, vocal cords, and the nervous system that conducts pain. No one could have imagined that there would be such a huge disaster. They had no time to think, no time to feel, and no time to even grieve for their flesh and blood.

The sun is out. When this round of fireballs hung high as usual, the dense fog - this extremely dense and dying fog began to slowly thin and disperse under the blazing bright light. Tangshan was about to wake up from his coma. When the thick fog was about to clear, the horrified people suddenly discovered two equally frightened wolves that had escaped from the zoo. They were standing next to each other on the black ruins in the distance, alone with their eyes wide open in fear. eyes, panting with lingering fear. Suddenly they jumped and shot towards the top of Phoenix Mountain like arrows. In front of the cliff, they finally stood still, like stone sculptures. Facing the entire broken Tangshan below the mountain, facing such boundless ruins, facing such a sea of ??disaster, they let out a shrill howl that resembled human voices.

The residual fog in the early morning of "7.28" and the terrifying howling of wolves lingered for a long time.

Among the total 682,267 civil buildings covering 10,932,272 square meters in urban and rural areas of Tangshan, there are actually 65 Sixteen thousand one hundred and thirty-six rooms and one thousand, five hundred and fifty-six square meters collapsed and were severely damaged in the earthquake! Houses are originally a place where human beings can protect themselves, resist wind and rain, and are a symbol of the evolution of people's civilization and beautification of life. However, in a major earthquake, they helped the disaster, worsened the disaster, and became the tomb of mankind.

Tangshan is a famous industrial city in North China. Its area accounts for about one ten thousandth of the whole of China, its population accounts for about one thousandth of the whole of China, and its output value accounts for about one percent of the whole of China!

Tangshan is known as the coal capital, accounting for one-twentieth of the country's coal production and supporting China's major steel plants. Tangshan plays an important role in electric power. Douhe Power Station is one of the main power stations of the North China Power Grid and the largest thermal power station in my country. Tangshan is also the famous "Porcelain Capital of North China", comparable to Jingdezhen's ceramics. Tangshan also has metallurgical industry, textile industry, cement, automobile, machinery manufacturing...many extremely important enterprises!

However, as the largest heavy industrial city in North China, there is almost no upright chimney in sight. As a huge economic life, it has no breath, no pulse, and no flowing blood. There is only ruins!

On March 4, 1835, the great evolutionist Darwin came to the Chilean city of Concepción, which had just experienced a strong earthquake. Facing the ruins, he expressed his heartfelt emotion: " ...The achievements made by countless human time and labor were destroyed in just one minute; however, my sympathy for the victims seems to be weaker than the other feeling, that is, the kind that often takes a few people to suffer. It took a century to complete, but the feeling of consternation caused by the scene of destruction in just one minute..."

This is also the feeling of countless Chinese people on the Tangshan disaster day - "7.28".
