Taihu Lake boat collision caused by 2 deaths: the missing person has not yet found

At 1 pm on April 4, at the Xishan Scenic Area in Jinting Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, a team of 23 Shanghai Jiaotong University students suffered an accident in the course of a groupboat ride back to the island. One of the eight people's speedboats crashed into the ropes used between the two cargo ships, resulting in the death of two people, including a travel agency part-time team leader (East China University of Political Science and Law) and a Jiaotong University boy. Two Jiaotong University boys fell into the water. In addition, four people, including the boss, were injured. The reporter learned at the search and rescue scene today that the local maritime rescue boats and the fishermen's voluntarily organized ships have been put into search and rescue, but there are still no missing persons.

This morning, on the edge of the Taihu Lake in Xishan, related water projects have all been stopped. Search and rescue work is still in progress. The reporter learned at the search and rescue scene that the search last night was still fruitless. The local maritime rescue boats and the fishermen's voluntarily organized ships were thrown into search and rescue. In addition, the related water exploration projects were suspended throughout the entire Taihu Lake from last night, while the cargo ships used the control measures to bypass the incident.

As of 1 am this morning, the deceased and the families of the missing have all reached the local government. The local government and related schools have properly placed them and their family members' sentiments are relatively stable.

After the incident yesterday afternoon, this reporter immediately went to the scene of the incident. Interviewing Che Gangyi, he entered the territory of Jiangsu Province and suffered a pounding rain. At 8 o'clock last night, he arrived at the Shigongshan Speedboat Terminal on the southern tip of Xishan Island. At this time, the local public security, maritime, safety supervision, and ambulance departments are still organizing search and rescue operations, and a warning line with a length of about 100 meters runs through the periphery of the embankment. Looking far away, there are sporadic search and rescue boat lights on the Taihu Lake several hundred meters away from the shore.

“We got to know the situation at 12:59 noon.” Assistant Zhou Baoqing, Assistant Director of the Suzhou Municipal Bureau of Maritime Affairs, told reporters that after the incident, the maritime department sent more than 40 people, including 6 professional search and rescue personnel, together with local public security agencies and other agencies. Many people dispatched 10 search and rescue vessels to the scene and searched and rescued them on the 10 square kilometers of the lake. However, unfortunately, search and rescue have always had no results.

It is understood that the water depth of the waters in the accident is between 2.2 meters and 2.5 meters. In April, the storms in Taihu Lake were relatively large. From April 1 to April 4, the maritime department also announced the closure of the lake. It was not released until 6 a.m. yesterday, which caused difficulties for the search and rescue work.

The reporter had been waiting for a morning at the Shigongshan Speedboat Terminal on the Xishan Island where the search and rescue forces were concentrated. There was still no missing person.
