The old suspension bridge in Bikou Ancient Town, Gansu suddenly rolled over. Did the rollover cause any casualties?
Recently I saw a video on the Internet, in which an old suspension bridge suddenly rolled over. Such an incident was shocking, and the people on the bridge at the time couldn't help but sweat.
Some people speculated that the ropes connecting the bridge deck and the top of the bridge broke, causing the bridge to roll over. Others expressed their confusion that there was no flooding or strong winds in the weather that day. I don't understand why it suddenly turned over.
On October 24, an old suspension bridge in Bikou, Wen County, Longnan, Gansu suddenly overturned. There was a villager on the bridge when the emergency occurred. Villagers passing by the local area looked at it. After arriving, he immediately went to help and successfully rescued the two people. Fortunately there were no casualties.
It is understood that this bridge has existed more than 100 years ago, and has been repaired and consolidated along the way. In just a few years from 2018 to now, it has suffered the impact of floods, and there are differences among them. The extent of damage was repaired twice at that time. In 2018, the old suspension bridge was rebuilt due to flood impact and could be used for normal traffic at that time.
In 2020, it was once again damaged to varying degrees by a flood, and it was reconstructed by relevant departments. It was just accessible in October this year, but the construction has not been completed, and it has not been reconstructed by relevant departments. According to the inspection and acceptance, electric vehicles, motorcycles and other vehicles cannot pass through. It may be that the villagers are greedy for convenience and want to skip a few steps and don't want to go around other roads, so they go on the bridge. There were also some naughty children who went up for a walk out of curiosity. He said he didn't know why he rolled over again.
According to relevant personnel, the kind-hearted villagers rescued the woman and eliminated the danger. The staff of the Transportation Bureau are currently investigating the cause of the rollover of the old suspension bridge. They have experts on the suspension bridge. Please go to the scene of the incident for investigation. This incident did not cause any casualties.
It can be seen from this incident that fortunately the accident was safe. Don’t just be greedy for temporary convenience and cause unexpected consequences. It will really make people regret it for life. I remind everyone to do it no matter what the reason is. Considering your own personal safety, you will never do anything risky without the approval of the relevant departments.
