At 4:12 p.m., Qi Bureau personally called and said that the leaders of the China Long Shipping Bureau had applied for leave through the Ministry of Transportation. Immediately afterwards, Han Yu received a call from Commander Wang of the Military Division.

Commander Wang hated the iron, and cursed a lot on the phone, and finally conveyed the news that the military region had agreed to his request for leave.

At 4:31, the police car arranged by the bureau arrived at the family area of ​​the Meteorological Bureau. Han Yu picked up his luggage, got into the police car, and hurried to Jiangcheng. Han Xiangning set off first and arrived in Jiangcheng first.

I transferred to a car from the Jiangcheng Maritime Safety Bureau and rushed to the riverside, then transferred to a transport boat again and rushed to a tugboat to report.

As expected, the old leaders Tang Ju and Huang Yuanchang are on the tugboat, but they are not leaders now. The leaders in charge of safety at the provincial and municipal levels and the leaders of the Maritime Safety Bureau of the Ministry of Transport are all there, so they can only stand aside.

"Comrade Ren S, Director Mei, and Comrade Han Xiangning are here."

"Hello, leaders, Han Xiangning of Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau has come to report, please give instructions!" Han Xiangning calmed down and raised his hand in salute.

"yes!"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering if it was true. The captain must be responsible for the entire ship.

"It means something bad..."

Han Yu picked up the meteorological data again. The first officer was startled and said quickly: "With it open, the visibility is even worse. When we passed the Taiping river sign, we saw the shape of the bank in the distance. From the radar, it was 500 meters away from the south bank."

rice."

Deputy Manager Zhang turned and looked at the old captain.

Deputy Director Mei had read the investigation report on the Sino-South Korean freighter collision reported by the Binjiang Maritime Safety Bureau. He was deeply impressed by Han Xiangning, who was in charge of the accident investigation, but he did not expect that Han Xiangning was so young, let alone that he was so beautiful that he was embarrassed to stare at it.

.

"Director Zhang was searching and rescuing under the river. No passengers were missing. The superiors demanded that people be seen alive or dead or corpses."

The Tang Bureau looked at everyone who was convinced or not, and the investigation of the accident was also a matter of competing for superiority. He said with a straight face: "Time is running out, now is the time to be polite, please introduce yourself, and then go ahead

Take the time to formulate an investigation plan."

Han Xiangning and the old leader took a transport boat back to the shore and rushed to the brightly lit dock office. Only then did they realize that Jiangcheng's investigation team was much smaller than Binjiang's accident investigation team.

"Jiang Ke, is Team Leader Han his squad leader?" "Isn't the traffic control officer in front?"

"Comrade Han Xiangning, you came just in time. The search and rescue work is coming to an end. The accident investigation must be launched quickly. Please work hard and report to the investigation team immediately."

Sailing in fog is so safe, the captain should be on duty on the bridge, but I actually took over the duty with the junior officer.

Han Yu took a deep breath, turned on the radar and checked for abnormalities, and asked loudly: "Captain Gu, please tell me what happened first."

"You are a passenger ship, so you are always late. You crossed the bridge first thinking that driving faster would cause problems. Deputy Manager Zhang asked gently: "Han Ke, what does he think?"

The collision occurred in the waters upstream of the Tai Ping River Marker.

Liao Qian didn't even bother to ask her name, and directly asked what happened.

"Yes!" Han Xiangning responded and turned to look at the middle-aged cadre at the back.

"Lao Gu, Section Chief Han is one of our own, there's nothing to say." The old captain who came from the company thought it was appropriate to say the words, and quickly added: "You have to face things when they happen, not even the investigation team.

Nothing to say."

The old captain nodded helplessly.

I am trying to live up to my expectations. Because of the accident, the Yangtze River Passenger Transport was suspended, several small Yangtze River Passenger Transport companies closed down, and tens of thousands of cadres and workers were all put on the job. How many of them can shoulder that responsibility? Can they be worthy of their 20,000 colleagues?

At that time, the Yangtze River Passenger Transport was not very prosperous. Such an accident would cause the suspension of Yangtze River Passenger Ships. However, several small Yangtze River Passenger Transport companies only had 20,000 employees. As someone who came from the port and shipping system, Xianyu was worried that the suspension of Yangtze River Passenger Transport was abnormal.

However, there were no officials from the Jiangnan Maritime System, nor from the Provincial Department of Transportation and Jiangcheng City. Even the Underwater Branch of the Jiangcheng Public Security Bureau and the Jiangcheng Branch of the Changhang Public Security Bureau did not participate in the investigation.

"How many meters short was the sight distance at that time?"

Beads of sweat as small as soybeans oozed out from under the deputy's forehead. After a moment of silence, he said in a mosquito-like voice: "The car will retreat to seven.

Just when Han Xiangning and the first group went to inspect the damage to the ship, Liao Qian rushed to the Changhang Jiangcheng Branch. Under the leadership of Deputy Director Yu of the branch, she stopped and rushed to the dock.

"Did you call the other party, confirm the location, and discuss how to avoid it?"

Although the passenger ship hit the Yangtze River bridge, and the accident also occurred on the Yangtze River bridge, when it comes to investigating the responsibility, it is the same. He must have listened to the traffic control command and temporarily crossed the bridge, but he would have collided with this trial cargo ship. Then

There is a causal relationship.

The local cadres are familiar with the maritime system. When they saw that the cadres of the maritime system all recognized Han Xiangning as the deputy team leader, they introduced themselves, shook hands and asked questions.

"It does matter. Your surname is Wang, and your name is Wang Chou. You used to work at the Zhenjiang Port Supervision Bureau and were just transferred to the Jiangnan Maritime Safety Bureau this year."

As soon as Han Yu finished speaking, footsteps came from inside.

"You looked at the radar and saw this ship. You called on the radio and received a response." It's not easy to give orders if you are not one of your own subordinates.

When Han Xiangning saw that the Tang Bureau had gone out to answer the phone again, he dared to greet everyone again and asked: "Jiang Ke, Director Wang, where are the two boats?"

Passenger transport to the Yangtze River has been stopped across the board, and there are no more passenger ships down the river. Tens of thousands of people have gone to work, and the lives of tens of thousands of families have changed...

After Han Yuzai asked casually what measures were taken when the discovery was made, what kind of vehicle was used, and whether he adjusted the course, he asked the Changhang Branch Police to send the first officer back to the crew cabin.

The captain was right, but he had no impression of that person.

Compared to going to see a small military parade, for those of us who eat under the Yangtze River, that is a trivial matter. Calling on channel 6, we still have contact.

The Jiangnan Maritime System is small, and by chatting, we can build relationships very slowly.

Liao Qian's head felt small, thinking to herself that they had no sense of crisis and wanted to send passengers to the East China Sea on time. I couldn't understand these things, but they could sail the ship like that.

Yes, but I followed the traffic control instructions and drove slowly up in the mist.

Han Yu did not bother to say hello to his fellow marine policemen, took the flashlight from a crew member, and first looked at the damaged location. Then he climbed down from the eighth-floor cab and first asked the captain with a sad look on his face to understand the situation.

"They are all under the boat." Deputy Captain Liu of the Changhang Navigation Branch paused and added: "You and the Underwater Branch have arranged for police to be on duty under the boat in accordance with the instructions from your superiors."

A figure in front squeezed out from the corner and said with a smile: "Squad leader, you guys meet again. How to investigate, he can give orders."

"I obeyed the traffic control instructions and crossed the bridge in the fog."

Moreover, the CCA Public Security Bureau at that time was mainly responsible for the security of passenger terminals and passenger ships. The passenger ships were suspended and the passenger terminal was closed. What were there so few CCA police officers to do?

When the captain saw that the policeman invited by the company leader actually looked at the weather information first, he became even more panicked. He said with a bitter face: "There was no fog under the river at that time, and the visual distance was about 700 to 800 meters."

Han Yu adjusted a few gears, adjusted the range, and confirmed that the radar was abnormal. He turned off the radar and picked up the weather forecast record under the bridge.

If you do that, people will die, and in the end, people will die!

Han Yu dared to doubt that it was true. He was stunned for a while before asking: "What's next?"

Han Yu put down the meteorological data and picked up the waterway map again: "How long did it take to sail from the Wulongmiao River Marker to the Taiping River Marker?"

Han Yu saw Deputy Manager Zhang and the old captain gnashing their teeth in anger, and wished he had to slap the deputy twice. He suppressed his anger and asked, "What happens next?"

The first officer was also responsible. He knew that the visibility was very poor and he should sail quickly. However, based on the situation I mentioned and the analysis of the water conditions at the time, the speed at that time was actually 22 kilometers per hour!

"Heading 055."

How did I call for help before the collision? How did I organize the transfer of the less than 700 people off the passenger ship? Although it is very important, it is the focus of Han Yu's investigation. Let the captain go back to my cabin first, and ask the police from Changhang Jiangcheng Branch to call the first officer to the driver's seat.

room.

For someone like Xianyu who has worked in the Changhang Public Security System, that matter is really important!

When the two ships were discovered again, they were only less than 100 meters apart. Before they could avoid it, the two ships collided at a small angle...

-"

"There's not a group yet?" a local cadre raised his hand and asked.

"You went to Hanwu for training together a few years later, and Xiang Ning was the monitor of your training class."

"You... when you took over, the ship's position... was crossing the river at Wulong Temple." The mate was so frightened that he shivered, and his voice was trembling.

"Traffic control has refused." "About 500 meters."

At 6:16 in the evening of the same day, we sailed to Wuyuzhou buoy No. 9, adjusted the course to 035 and continued upward. From the radar, we found that there was no launch ship in the distance of Zhangzi Port upstream, and it was crossing the Yangtze River from south to north, a distance of 2000 meters.

rice.

Based on the upcoming investigation tasks and the expertise of the team members, Han Xiangning quickly determined the division of labor among the seven investigation teams.

Liao Qian took a deep breath and continued: "The echo was discovered one kilometer away and it attracted little attention. It also reported the ship's movements, but it still moved up slowly and missed the opportunity to avoid danger."

"Team Leader Han, it's been a long time since I've seen you." A policeman from Changhang Branch came over, smiled and raised his hand in salute. Deputy Manager Zhang softened, frowned and asked: "Do you have a small responsibility?"

There was such a light fog under the river, and the visibility was so poor. "How many kilometers was the range of the radar at that time?"

"It looks familiar, but I didn't expect it." Han Xiangning looked embarrassed. "Did you report to Jiangcheng Traffic Control Center and request to cross the bridge?"

"Reported."

As soon as Deputy Captain Yang of the Public Security Detachment of Changhang Jiangcheng Branch finished speaking, a young lady in her early seventies came up to her and asked with a smile: "Dahan, do you still remember you?"

Da Wu, secretary of the Tang Bureau, also participated in the accident investigation and immediately handed over a list of members of the investigation team: "Team Leader Han, he should look at the division of labor.

"bad.

"I was listening to the traffic control command. I was speeding in foggy weather. I heard that there was no boat behind me paddling on the river. I observed the target in the seven-meter outer range of the radar. I actually used the radar observation intermittently according to the regulations. Instead, I switched the range to the two-meter outer range.

.The two ships were more than two kilometers apart at that time. The radio station said it clearly. No matter how you observe it with the distance between two kilometers, you can see that it is! -

Han Xiangning weighed it up and said in a consultative tone: "Everyone, if you are divided into seven groups, one group will go to the two docks to survey the damage to the two ships; one group will go to the traffic control center to retrieve the call recording at that time; the other group will go to the traffic control center to retrieve the call recording at that time;

Two groups went to verify the certificates of the ship and crew respectively, and asked the crew of the two ships about the situation when the accident occurred.
