Statistics show that in recent 20 years, more than1000 people have been killed by the tidal water in Qiantang River, among which13, 993, 86 people were instantly swept into the river by the tidal water, of which 19 people died and 40 people were unaccounted for.
Is supervision not in place? I don't think so The government dammed, set up roadblocks, posted warning signs along the river, rolled warning signs on electronic large screens, and patrolled at night; Enterprises along the Yangtze River received safety training before their employees took up their posts, informing them of the hazards of Qian Jiangchao water, and posted a large number of safety warnings on the publicity windows of enterprises.
During the peak season of tide watching, various reminders emerge one after another, but some people still turn a deaf ear. This is a lucky idea. Not only outsiders, but also many locals are not fully aware of the danger in Qian Jiangchao. In fact, the speed of the tidal bore in Qianjiang River is too fast, and the danger often occurs at the moment when people have not responded.
The speed of the tide is equivalent to the world record of 100 meters running. A set of data: the tidal level difference in Qian Jiangchao is generally1-2m, and the highest is 3m. When the tidal bore advances, it will hit a huge wave as high as 10 meter due to the blocking of T-dam and concave bank. The speed of advancing from the downstream to the upstream is about 20 kilometers per hour, which is vast and sweeping. The fastest speed can reach 10 meter per second, which is equivalent to the world record speed of 100 meter, while the average person's running speed is only 6-8 meters per second.
Moreover, according to the characteristics of the tidal bore in Qiantang River, the spectacular tidal scene is often dangerous, and the advancing speed and destructive ability of the tidal bore are unmatched by flesh and blood, and its pressure is as high as 7 tons/square meter. In the past, the public still misunderstood the tide that swept people, thinking that only the "tidal bore" swept people, but in fact, the tidal water in Qiantang River is extremely dangerous, whether it is tide or sunseeker. In particular, we should be careful of a kind of "dark high tide", which is calm and imperceptible from a distance, but overwhelming, hidden and dangerous in the near future.
