A reporter broadcast at the earthquake rescue scene

Translated from mitbbs.com


Yimeng(360327959) 10:07:29

I cannot even watch the scene

Yimeng(360327959) 10:08:33

The Premier who’s over 60 years old is in tears

Yimeng(360327959) 10:10:16

The place that was just dug out is collapsing again

Yimeng(360327959) 10:11:24

The damn weather it is still raining. The soldiers in the forefront have been sent the hard order: must rescue despite the rain

Yimeng(360327959) 10:11:30

I am in the scene now

Yimeng(360327959) 10:11:56

I am in Dujiangyan city

Yimeng(360327959) 10:13:24

The transportation has been paralyzed, and it is very hard for people and materials to reach there

Yimeng(360327959) 10:13:47

We are not allowed to go to Wenchuan yet

Yimeng(360327959) 10:15:21

The transportation of Wenchuan has been completely closed. I don’t know what is happening there. But this morning the Premier has ordered that the army must enter Wenchuan at all cost

Yimeng(360327959) 10:16:03

Damn weather, it is raining. For several times the airborne vehicles could not land. The parachute soldiers are taking off right away

Yimeng(360327959) 10:17:36

The airplanes have dropped materials in Wenchuan

Yimeng(360327959) 10:20:06

The more than 300 students buried under the rubbles are in great danger. Just now another round of rescue effort failed. The Premier is at the scene directing yet another rescue effort

Yimeng(360327959) 10:20:47

Oh the Premier fell

Yimeng(360327959) 10:21:35

I am sending pictures to Beijing. No publicizing of the pictures before censorship

Yimeng(360327959) 10:22:21

My colleagues and I have turned on 9 computers and all sending out information

Yimeng(360327959) 10:22:37

Sending information via QQ at this critical time is way too slow

Yimeng(360327959) 10:23:39

The commandos are up again

Yimeng(360327959) 10:25:04

You will cry immediately if you see the old man at this moment

Yimeng(360327959) 10:26:40

The old man’s arm is wounded and bleeding, but he pushed away the medical personnel who wanted to bandage him

Yimeng(360327959) 10:27:09

Good news, a student is found

Yimeng(360327959) 10:28:00

The Premier ran to the collapsed spot, and is helping

Yimeng(360327959) 10:28:13

Xiang’e Town Middle School

Yimeng(360327959) 10:28:33

Pulled out, and the doctors are giving emergency treatment

Yimeng(360327959) 10:28:56

There are not plenty of troops yet

Yimeng(360327959) 10:29:07

The transportation is way too difficult

Yimeng(360327959) 10:29:42

Not sure at this moment. Looks alive, oxygen is used

Yimeng(360327959) 10:31:06

Ah, collapsed again

Yimeng(360327959) 10:31:28

A commando is buried into it

Yimeng(360327959) 10:31:40

Hold on, let me go ahead and take a look

Yimeng(360327959) 10:36:24

I am back. Rescued

Yimeng(360327959) 10:37:16

Most updated news: 100,000 people stuck in Pengzhou are in danger!!!

Yimeng(360327959) 10:38:49

Due to the heavy rain, the army corps of engineers failed several times to build a bridge. In nearby places the mud-rock flows are sliding. They are calling the Premier directly. It is extremely dangerous!!!

Yimeng(360327959) 10:39:19

Due to collapsed bridges, 100,000 people are stuck in mountains. The rescuing teams and materials could not enter. There have been signs of mud-rock flows

Yimeng(360327959) 10:41:11

The Premier shouted over the phone: I don’t care how you guys are, I only want the 100,000 people to be rescue, this is order. He then threw away the phone

Yimeng(360327959) 10:41:33

First time saw this old man’s strong temper

Yimeng(360327959) 10:41:54

We have not received order to head for Wenchuan. I guess it is not very good there

Yimeng(360327959) 10:42:16

I am now in the telecommunication tent

Yimeng(360327959) 10:43:54

Update about Wenchuan: the rain is getting lighter, the airborne materials have been dropped, and the parachute soldiers are boarding in an outside airport

Yimeng(360327959) 10:45:19

Now all the overseas reporters are focusing on the debut of the so called top special troop

Yimeng(360327959) 10:46:50

The Premier is giving a speech to the leaders of the boarding troop

Yimeng(360327959) 10:47:41

The Premier said, I have but one sentence to say, it is the people who feed you guys, and you guys decide what you need to do.

Yimeng(360327959) 11:11:00

Hi everyone, I am now in a military helicopter. First time in such a vehicle. Very nervous.

Yimeng(360327959) 11:12:51

I am now on board a helicopter. I think we can reach Shifang in about 1 hour

Yimeng(360327959) 11:34:40

Update: the communication signals from Yingxiu Town, Xuankuo Town, Wolong Town, all in Wenchuan, are very week, and we have not connected to them yet. We estimated about 20,000 people are stuck. There are aftershocks continuously, and the rain is very heavy. It is very difficult. We cannot determine the exact situations due to the very bad visibility. The General Staff has ordered that, when the parachute soldiers arrived Wenchuan, parachute by brutal force at all cost even if the condition does not allow it!

Yimeng(360327959) 11:36:38

Not yet. The copter is entering the lightning zone. I have to switch off. Will talk to you later.
