As expected, as in previous years, I remembered the last thing I wanted to remember.
1994, Karamay fire 12.8!
? How time flies! It has been 26 years since the fire on February 8, 65438.
? I was in Dushanzi on the day of the fire, and I was shocked to hear the bad news. I really can't believe it.
1994 65438+On February 8th, a fire broke out at Friendship Pavilion in Karamay. Of the 796 people at the scene, 325 were killed and 132 were injured. Among the 325 people killed, there were 288 primary and secondary school students. These 288 primary and middle school students are composed of three excellent students, standardized class groups and student actors. On that day, they came to the Friendship Hall to participate in a special performance held in the Friendship Hall to welcome the evaluation and acceptance team of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's "two basics" (basically popularizing nine-year compulsory education and basically eliminating illiteracy among young people).
? The fire broke out at about 6: 20 that night. In just 20 minutes, 325 people were killed in the fire. Most of them are children and the scene is very tragic.
? Karamay, which means "black oil" in Uyghur, is a city named after oil and the seat of Xinjiang Petroleum Administration Bureau at that time. The city was built for oil, so people from the petrochemical industry from all over the country gathered. It is an oil city integrating oil exploration, oil production, oil transportation and oil refining. In short, the residents of the city are composed of employees in the oil industry, with high welfare benefits, rich and comfortable life, beautiful urban environment and very high overall quality of residents. In my impression, there are no social idlers.
There were no buses in Karamay at that time. People go to Karamay by their own shuttle bus from work. The bus stops at an open space in Karamay. At that time, the Friendship Pavilion was not far from the bus station.
? These dead children are naturally the children of these "oil workers". Unfortunately, the Karamay refinery where I was working also killed several children.
? The cause of this extremely vicious accident is the aging of the stage lighting circuit, and the aging wire is short-circuited to ignite the curtain. According to various articles, only one of the eight security doors at the scene was open, and the rest were locked, and the person who took the key did not know where to go. Unfortunately, when the fire really started, the only safety door collapsed due to power failure. Fire, smoke and poison gas turned the closed friendship pavilion into a brick kiln, in which fire, poison gas and smoke filled ... a solemn and stirring cry was uttered, and in just 20 minutes, more than 300 fresh lives passed away.
? In the days after the accident, it seems that the children's sad cries floated over the Karamay Friendship Pavilion, and the sadness of hundreds of families of children who died dyed the originally bright Karamay gray. Karamay cried!
? The 288 children killed in the fire and their teachers were buried in a cemetery called Xiaoxihu at the foot of Genghis Khan Mountain, 8 kilometers west of Karamay. There is a photo on those tombstones, and every photo has a childish face. They are all under 14 years old. The same time was engraved on the bottom of the same tombstone-"19941February 8".
According to reports, the eight children in Karamay suffered the most in the fire, and they were the youngest. They sit in the front row farthest from the escape exit, on the left and right sides of the leadership seat. Their task is to salute and present flowers to the leadership. As a result, most of the more than 65,438+000 children died.
……
12.8 The fire made Karamay cry. When the fire broke out, the scene of spontaneous fighting by people of all ethnic groups in the city was also very touching.
Twenty-six years later, it seems that the painful memories should be gone, and the scars should also smooth the lost time. However, this is not the case with the Karamay fire. It's been 26 years, and every year around 12.8, there are still many people reminiscing and commemorating online, and some people are thinking and telling.
? I read many articles about Karamay 12.8 fire, and I can't help feeling deeply sorry. If there had been the internet 26 years ago, perhaps our understanding of fire would have been closer to the truth.
? 20 19 There was an article on the Internet, which made an objective analysis of the causes of heavy casualties in Karamay fire.
The article first criticized the "official standard", but also pointed out that the whole society lacked emergency management systems and measures at that time. The article revealed that in the process of disaster relief, there were conflicts among the army, politics, police and medical system.
At the same time, the article points out that people lacked safety education at that time, and people's awareness of self-help and escape quality in the face of disasters had to be said to be extremely lacking.
When the fire just started, the relevant personnel knew that it was on fire, but the eight-year-old child in Karamay was still observing the "quiet" discipline and was asked to wait for the teacher's order, and the child listened to the teacher's words. As a result, teachers with poor safety quality died in the fire with their beloved children.
The best time to escape has passed. When the lights at the scene were extinguished by the fire, smoke billowed in the darkness and everything was out of control. Driven by fear, disorganized. Instinctively, people frantically rush to any possible survival channel. Then in the howl of despair, you pushed me around, and with the fire, the stampede accident inevitably happened!
Although the families of the victims were heartbroken, they obeyed the arrangement and their children were buried soon.
However, there are many unexplained things in the Kramai fire, and it is these unexplained things that have kept many people entangled in their hearts. In the face of these 288 children who lost their lives, people are still suffering and guilty, which is why people have been unable to forget for 26 years after the Karamay fire!
I hope that disasters will stay away from us forever, and that we can be prepared for danger in times of peace and receive more education on safety and disaster self-help!
