We all seem to have a complicated feeling about nature. We are afraid of its thunderous wrath and can't help but want to get close to its magnificent beauty. But on the afternoon when Typhoon Huagaza struck, it once again let us witness the "horror" of nature.
The warning information of the Meteorological Bureau constantly reminds everyone, but there are still some bold people who don't listen to dissuasion and go to the "storm center" unscrupulously.
How was a 5-year-old child swept away? Why did the family insist on taking risks?
All statements in this article have reliable sources of information contained in the article.
A fourth challenge.
When the early warning of the eighth wind ball is high, when the phone lies in the official warning text message, when the clear physical warning line is drawn in front of the eye, what exactly is a "invisible" force, can make a four-hour house, without resentment to the center of the storm.
This family, composed of a 40-year-old father and a 38-year-old mother with a 9-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son, came to the seaside not to flee, but to "feel and watch the typhoon".The place they chose, the Bay of Thistle, was a red "card" spot, They seem to want to freeze this typhoon, which was dubbed "Wind King" by the media, into a unique family trip memory.
However, all the "visible" alarms collectively failed at that moment. The Typhoon Signal No.8 issued by the Observatory almost pressed the pause button in Hong Kong. At 2: 20 pm, almost all citizens' mobile phones received the official warning message, and the whole city was showing the scene of storing supplies and rushing home.
The more direct obstacle was the eye-catching warning line on the scene, but the white cars driven by the family, still without hesitation passed through the past, these strong, physical, digital signals, layers overlap, but could not stop them from moving toward dangerous footsteps.
What they really face is the "invisible" killer, the observatory's experts have long warned that before the typhoon landing the sea appears quiet, the reality hides a deadly tide, and the "offshore flow", which has been repeatedly mentioned in online discussions, is the representative of this invisible danger.
Unfortunately, for those who regard disasters as spectacles, the words of experts and professional knowledge are far less convincing than the immediate "lessons", and the fluky psychology of "it should be fine" has become the thickest fog in their cognition.
10 minutes of gold race.
The arrival of the catastrophe, never prevailing, was about 3 p.m., a huge wave without a sign swung to the shore, and instantly the mother and the only five-year-old son near the sea would be wrapped into the flooding sea, at that moment, all the observation mentality was broken.
The instinctive reaction of the father, he did not hesitate at all, jumped immediately into the sea to try to save, which was the responsibility of father's love and husband, but also exposed in the face of the absolute natural forces, how pale the individual's heroic courage, he struggled in the water, eventually by grabbing nearby boats to not be wrapped together.
On the shore, the nine-year-old daughter witnessed all this, although the physical, but psychological trauma may be difficult to estimate, the staff on a nearby ship first discovered the horror scene, they quickly launched rescue, through tireless efforts, successfully raised all three struggling in the water.
Then, after the alarm, the fire department rushed to the scene in just 5 minutes. Without any delay, the rescuers boarded the civil rescue boat directly and immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for the mother and son who had lost consciousness and breathed weakly.
From the alarm to the three people were all rescued to the shore, the whole process took only a dozen minutes, it was a life-death race, on the shore, the ambulance has long been ready, directly sent the mother's son to the East District hospital, although the mother's daughter was finally rescued in the East District Hospital's deep treatment department, and was free from life danger, but this was by no means a "successful end".
A tragedy surrounded.
If the rescue on the spot is thrilling, then the storm of public opinion on the Internet is even more violent. This incident quickly triggered an explosive discussion on the Internet, which is more a collective trial than a discussion.
Without exception, the spearhead pointed to the parents, and countless netizens sent out profound soul torture: "Is this a joke about the life of a family?" "Is it to make a video and send it to a circle of friends?" These sharp criticisms are everyone's extreme incomprehension and anger at this behavior of ignoring life and lacking basic awe.
As parents, instead of preventing danger, they take their children to face it head-on. This behavior is simply crazy. Some commentators hit the nail on the head and pointed out that this reckless behavior not only puts themselves and their families in danger, but also wastes social public rescue resources a huge waste, and also makes those who risk their lives to rescue take extra risks for nothing.
If a person is irresponsible to himself and is willing to challenge some dangerous extreme things, then when he is in danger of being rescued but needs the whole society to pay for it, it is whether it is injustice to others, this is no longer merely a family tragedy, but a living counter-education.
It makes the slogan of "fear of nature" become flesh and blood, with painful cases as a reference, it also urges us all to reconsider, in the face of extreme weather, what kind of behavior is brave and what kind of behavior is stupid.
True sense of safety, never rely on the rope pulled out of the outside or the warning popping up on the phone, it is rooted in the depths of each of us, that fear of life, respect the rules "warning line", when the storm comes, the strongest barrier is always the door of the home, the wisest choice is to stay in the safe room.
