After the driver of the D2809 train found something abnormal, he braked urgently within 5 seconds. What crises can this move alleviate?

The train driver braked urgently within 5 seconds, effectively stopping the train, avoiding more cars derailing and saving many lives. On June 4, 2022, after passing through Yuezhai Tunnel in Rongjiang County, the D2809 train encountered a landslide and debris flow that suddenly invaded the track. The train driver braked suddenly and stopped the train in 5 seconds. 1 person was killed and 8 people were injured when cars 7 and 8 of the train derailed. The driver of the train died and the passengers on the train were safely sent to their destination. ?

emergency braking

When the train runs in a dark tunnel, the driver's sight will be affected by the dim light. In addition, the strong light outside the tunnel entrance will produce the white hole effect. In such bad weather conditions, it is admirable that the driver can make the correct emergency braking mode within 5 seconds. After braking, the train skidded for 900 meters before stopping, and finally hit the crash barrier of the platform. The driver's operation made only No.7 and No.8 cars derailed, which reduced the losses caused by the accident to some extent. ?

save sb's life

The train driver finally died in the line of duty, but his behavior saved more lives. Except him, all the passengers on 138 were safe and sound, and were sent to their destination. The maintenance cost of high-speed rail is very expensive. The driver's behavior not only caused minor damage to the train, but also saved 138 precious lives. Upon learning of the driver's death, all the passengers in the car burst into tears and expressed regret for the driver's departure.

Strengthen protection

This incident has given us a lot of warnings. It is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of high-speed rail lines, especially in bad weather environment, and focus on monitoring some areas prone to mudslides. Drones can be used for regular cruises, and foreign bodies can be reminded in time. In addition, the landslide-prone areas along the railway are treated to fundamentally solve the problem.
