The tragedy came too suddenly
July 1st, an ordinary working day. Xiao Wang (pseudonym) is driving his crane and is hoisting at a construction site. The sun was shining, and the sound of drumming in the construction site came and went. Xiao Wang operated the boom, thinking that today's work would be successfully completed.
Just as he was about to use the boom to lift a batch of building materials, the boom accidentally touched the high-voltage line overhead. Crackling electric sparks pulsed between the boom and the high-voltage wire, accompanied by the sound of crackling electricity. Xiao Wang was taken aback, he realized the seriousness of the situation, but apparently did not realize the danger of electric shock. He hurriedly got out of the car to see what was going on.
Just as he was about to touch the crane, tragedy struck. Hearing a huge explosion of "pop", Xiao Wang's lower body instantly burned, and the fire quickly spread to the whole body.
Xiao Wang screamed, fell to the ground, and lost his breath. There was chaos on the construction site, and other workers ran to help, but it was too late. Xiao Wang lost his life in front of everyone and turned into a charred black body.
Take a closer look at the accident from beginning to end
After the news came out, it attracted widespread attention. People are talking about this sudden incident. On July 2, the local power company issued a statement saying that Xiao Wang was not their employee, but the driver of another construction team. In addition, the high-voltage line that is touched is also within the specified safety height.
A closer look at the accident revealed that when the boom touched the live high-voltage line, the current was quickly directed to the body through the metal boom, so that the entire crane was electrified. The moment Xiao Wang got out of the car, his body became a "bridge" between the car body and the ground, and an electric current passed through him, causing him to be electrocuted and caught on fire.
In fact, Xiao Wang did not have direct contact with the high-voltage line. It's just that the voltage of the high-voltage line is too large, and even if there is no direct contact, it may be hit by the induced current. What's more, Xiao Wang touched the electrified body when he got out of the car, which was undoubtedly the fuse.
We are reminded to take precautions
Xiao Wang's tragedy makes people sweat. In fact, as long as he stayed in the car, did not touch anything in the car, and waited for the power supply department to cut off the power, he could have avoided the tragedy. But now that we have come to this, we can only learn lessons and guard against the future.
High-voltage lines of different voltage levels should keep a corresponding safety distance, generally 500 kV should be 8.5 meters away, 220 kV should be 6 meters away to ensure safety. Working near high-voltage lines requires professionals who cannot be careless.
Not only should you be careful with crane operations, but you should also pay attention to staying away from high-voltage lines in life. For example, when fishing in the river, we need to pay attention to the position of the fishing to avoid the fishing line accidentally throwing on the wire; And when walking birds or flying kites, you should also try to avoid the area around the high-voltage line to reduce the potential risk.
For accidents involving high-voltage wires, we must not take chances. Such accidents are extremely harmful and can cause irreversible and serious consequences if they occur. Therefore, we must attach great importance to these safety issues and take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety of individuals and others.
In addition, it is crucial to remain calm in the face of unexpected events. The tragedy encountered by Xiao Wang was partly caused by the panic reaction in an emergency.
In this case, we need to learn to analyze the situation quickly and make the right judgment, so that we can effectively protect ourselves from harm. By improving our awareness of self-protection and emergency response capabilities, we can better face all kinds of emergencies and ensure our own safety.
epilogue
The fact that life is extremely fragile always inadvertently gives us a heavy reminder. In the face of the impermanence of life, each of us should love and cherish life more, whether it is our own or others'.
Through Xiao Wang's unfortunate experience, we should be more deeply aware of this, and transform this awareness into motivation for action, continue to move forward in life, and constantly improve the respect and protection of life.
Tragedies often happen suddenly, but that doesn't mean we're helpless. On the contrary, we are well placed to learn from these tragedies and take steps to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents.
This incident reminds us of the importance of taking good precautions. Whether in our daily lives or at work, we should increase our safety awareness and improve preventive measures to ensure the safety of ourselves and others.
