00:00:33As a tornado swept through late at night, a man on the 12th floor was blown out of the window
00:00:36.
00:00:37The house collapsed, and the masses were in danger
00:00:42. Without any warning, a violent storm instantly swept through the entire street, and the night market turned into
00:01:48a mess. The survivors
00:01:52still remember the shocking scene with lingering fear.
00:01:55There was no chance
00:01:59to react.
00:02:30In this rare extreme weather, the thrilling scene experienced by the street vendors
00:02:33was just a microcosm of this disaster.
00:02:37Not far from this night market, in a residential community,
00:02:41the tornado that night suddenly struck,
00:02:45and a man was even blown directly from the 12th floor
00:02:48out of the window, falling downstairs
00:02:51. At around 8 p.m. on July 6, 2026,
00:02:54Huang Gang was the first to witness it among some residents
00:02:58living in high-rise buildings in Huangzhou District.
00:03:13The tornado, accompanied by a roaring sound, rushed into the urban area,
00:03:17and sparks constantly
00:03:20erupted
00:03:24wherever it passed. Like many local residents, Ms. Li, who lives in a certain community in Huangzhou District,
00:03:27never thought
00:03:30that an unexpected disaster would suddenly befall them.
00:03:33Shortly after the incident, Ms. Li, still in shock, accepted a media
00:03:37interview
00:03:37.
00:03:46At around 8 p.m. that night, Ms. Li, who lives on the twelfth floor, and her husband Mr. Zhang
00:03:50had just finished dinner. Mr. Zhang was sitting on the sofa
00:03:53in the living room watching TV, and Ms. Li was putting her baby to sleep
00:03:57in the bedroom. The couple had no idea that a tornado
00:04:01was heading towards their residential building
00:04:03.
00:04:08At first, the couple only heard an unusual wind sound.
00:04:12Before they could react, within a few seconds, the strong wind
00:04:15carried debris and shattered the floor-to-ceiling window
00:04:19of their living room
00:04:20.
00:04:29Heard.
00:05:42The living room was completely emptied, and what was most unexpected
00:05:46was that Mr. Zhang, her husband, who was originally in the living room, was also gone.
00:05:50I looked for my husband in every room but couldn't find him. I don't know where he is.
00:06:55Mr. Wang quickly opened the door, rescued Ms. Li and the child. Without catching his breath, he immediately rushed to the stairwell, ran from the 12th floor to the first floor, and urgently searched for his cousin whose life was hanging in the balance.
00:06:59Finally, he found
00:07:03Mr. Zhang, who was already barely alive, in a pile of green debris
00:07:05.
00:07:34All were shattered by the strong wind. Many affected families did not have time to repair, and could only temporarily seal the windows with tarpaulins. The window
00:07:38in the distance is Mr. Zhang's home. Mr. Zhang's cousin, Mr. Wang, accepted a media
00:07:41interview.
00:08:43An adult falling from the 12th floor, the hope of survival is slim. Fortunately,
00:08:47Mr. Zhang was blocked by a trash can during his fall,
00:08:50and the impact was partially absorbed. After being rescued,
00:08:54Mr. Zhang was diagnosed with a broken spine and brain injury, and multiple fractures
00:08:58throughout his body. He has been receiving treatment
00:09:01in the intensive care unit. The man was caught in
00:10:55I just ran out.
00:11:16Brick. The broken glass made that sound. I thought at the time,
00:11:20did it explode, or was there an earthquake? This was the scene
00:11:24of the incident that night.
00:11:30It was the ruins left behind after the tornado swept through the Yuan District. The Wuliu Industrial Park covers
00:11:34nearly a hundred mu, mostly steel structure workshops, office buildings, and truck
00:11:38parking lots. In just a few minutes, the park was almost
00:11:42razed to the ground. According to the caller, there were no workers
00:11:46operating in the park that night, but a workshop collapsed on a row of low workers' dormitories,
00:11:49and a worker was trapped under the ruins, his life hanging in the balance.
00:11:53Is anyone
00:12:26there? Rescue workers arrived at the entrance of the last dormitory.
00:12:30The scene before them was despairing. We don't have
00:12:34anyone in the house either.
00:12:37In front of them, this small room of only seven or eight square meters, the roof had completely collapsed,
00:12:41and the ground was covered with thick tiles. The trapped man mentioned by
00:12:45the caller was nowhere to be seen. The brick and tile
00:12:48structure at the scene was already very deep. The person may have been
00:12:52buried, and the chances of survival may not be
00:12:56very high. Where was the trapped person? What was their condition
00:12:59? Firefighters didn't have time to think and immediately started rescue efforts.
00:13:03Due to the conditions at the scene, large equipment could not operate, so they could
00:13:07only rely on experience and dig with their bare hands
00:13:09.
00:13:13Quickly dig him out. Our gloves, our fingers were worn out. As
00:13:17we dug and dug, suddenly the brick moved slightly.
00:13:21After seeing the head move, we felt that this person definitely had a strong hope of survival.
00:13:25The trapped person was still alive, with a weak breath. Everyone
00:13:29at the scene was shocked
00:13:30.
00:13:36The trapped man was found. But everyone quickly discovered that the man's entire
00:13:40body had been tightly wrapped by the huge plastic
00:13:44film that fell with the ceiling
00:13:46.
00:13:49The thick plastic film, along with the collapse of the ceiling, completely
00:13:53covered the trapped person.
00:14:26The trapped man looked to be less than 30 years old, with a pale face and confused
00:14:30consciousness. After continuous clearing by firefighters, the man's upper
00:14:33body gradually separated from the tiles, but his limbs were still
00:14:37buried by the debris, and one of his arms was crushed
00:14:41by a stone slab. The team members immediately adjusted the angle of force,
00:14:44lifting it bit by bit
00:14:46.
00:15:37The clothes were very heavy
00:15:38.
00:15:42It felt like it was already hit, and it felt like it was about to fall
00:15:45down. The trapped person was about to be rescued, when suddenly the wall
00:15:49behind them collapsed .
00:16:04At that critical moment, a firefighter was quick-witted. He immediately
00:16:07turned sideways and firmly propped up the wall with his arm, preventing
00:16:11secondary injury to the trapped person.
00:16:27As the man's feet were pulled out, the tense rescue finally came
00:16:31to an end
00:16:33.
00:16:36When we dug out the trapped person,
00:16:39he told us that he needed to breathe. This was the best news we heard
00:16:43. Because we found that the trapped person was slowly
00:16:46.
00:16:49Hundreds of pounds of jade slab pressed down on the trapped woman, and the rescue space was limited.
00:16:59a heavy heart, firefighters opened a life channel for the trapped
00:17:02person.
00:19:07Oh my. The entire area's broken arms and limbs were still
00:19:11tottering. The risk of secondary collapse had not been eliminated. The firefighter
00:19:15carefully carried the woman on his back, and with all his might, quickly evacuated
00:19:19this dangerous area
00:19:21.
00:19:28One foot deep, one foot shallow .
00:19:32Just a few meters out of the room, that suspended jade slab
00:19:36collapsed with a crash. Don't move.
00:19:37Don't move.
00:20:06A few days later, the reporter revisited the heavily damaged logistics park.
00:20:10The collapsed buildings and scattered debris seemed to still
00:20:14allow people to glimpse the shocking destruction of that night.
00:20:30The ceiling on the top floor has already completely collapsed. The ceiling on the second floor
00:20:34is made of jade slabs, and each jade slab weighs approximately
00:21:20. This rescued man, surnamed Huang, 27 years old, is a technician
00:21:24in the logistics park. He was diagnosed with a broken spine and multiple fractures
00:21:27of the pelvis. According to his recollection, he was working overtime in the dormitory
00:21:31when the collapse happened in a few seconds, and he had no time to react.
00:21:50She was trapped on the second floor of this office building. This woman's name is Zeng.
00:21:53The woman's husband said that his wife's injuries were serious and she was still recovering
00:21:57.
00:21:58According to the woman's husband,
00:22:05on the night of the incident, his wife went to the office to work overtime
00:22:09temporarily. The incident happened so suddenly that she had no time to escape. Fortunately,
00:22:13her phone just fell beside her, so she was able
00:22:17to send out a message . Thank them.
00:22:40What caused this tornado anyway? The reporter went to the Hubei
00:22:44Provincial Meteorological Bureau to seek an answer. So for
00:22:47an EF3-level strong tornado, its probability of occurrence is
00:22:51very rare. Basically, among 100 tornadoes, only
00:22:55six can reach this EF3 level. According to professional meteorological
00:22:59agencies, this tornado was rated as an EF3 strong
00:23:02tornado. This level of tornado itself is relatively rare, and its occurrence
00:23:06within a city is a low-probability event. Experts
00:23:10said that this was an extreme weather event caused by multiple
00:23:14meteorological factors. On the one hand, the residual circulation
00:23:18of Typhoon Mesaac and the southwest airflow
00:23:21on the periphery of the subtropical high formed a superposition over our province,
00:23:25thus forming a relatively strong warm and humid airflow. On the other hand,
00:23:29the cold air at the rear of the northeast cold vortex
00:23:33intruded, aggravating the instability of the atmospheric stratification,
00:23:36forming a strong updraft. At the same time, there was also
00:23:40a strong vertical wind shear at high and low altitudes in the eastern part
00:23:44of our province. First, in the horizontal direction, a rotating
00:23:48vortex tube was formed. Then, with
00:23:50the strong upward movement of the cumulonimbus cloud, this vortex tube
00:23:54was converted into a vertically accelerating rotating vortex tube
00:23:57. This formed the funnel cloud that we can see,
00:24:01which is a tornado. Despite encountering a rare strong tornado,
00:24:05after the disaster occurred, the local government and fire rescue team
00:24:08quickly launched rescue efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of the people,
00:24:12minimizing their losses. Currently, related facility repair work
00:24:16is being carried out in an orderly manner . Today we are going to.
00:24:23The guest invited is Professor Ning Zhanjin from the China Fire Rescue Academy. Hello, Professor Ning . We can see
00:24:26that this tornado that attacked Huanggang, Huangzhou District, Hubei Province
00:24:30was rated as an EF3 level
00:24:34. In fact, this level of tornado is very rare for us. Especially in inland
00:24:37cities, it is even rarer. So, according to your understanding, what typical
00:24:41characteristics does this type of tornado
00:24:45exhibit? If it sweeps into inland urban areas, what harm will it bring to buildings,
00:24:49including residents? Tornadoes are characterized by small scale, strong
00:24:53locality, and short duration, but they have huge
00:24:57destructive power. The size of a tornado is generally less
00:25:00than 100 meters. From its formation to dissipation,
00:25:04it often only lasts a few minutes to tens of minutes. But its maximum
00:25:08wind speed can reach 100 meters to 150
00:25:12meters per second. That is, 360 to
00:25:15540 kilometers per hour. Compared with our high-speed rail,
00:25:19it is even
00:25:21faster than the speed of high-speed rail. Tornadoes often uproot large trees,
00:25:25overturn vehicles, and destroy buildings . Tornadoes will simultaneously
00:25:29cause power outages, elevator stoppages, gas leaks,
00:25:32water and smoke, internal leaks, and other secondary disasters,
00:25:36which are very serious. The center of a tornado
00:25:40is a downdraft, while its four walls are extremely strong updrafts,
00:25:43which can suck people, livestock, cars,
00:25:47etc. into the air. In this disaster, a resident on the 12th floor
00:25:51was blown out of the window, which was essentially
00:25:55caused by the strong wind's suction.
00:25:58So, if we learn about a tornado,
00:26:27return indoors, close doors and windows, cut off unnecessary power, close gas valves, merchants should cease operations,
00:26:30and quickly dismantle or
00:26:34lay down outdoor awnings,
00:26:37billboards, etc. Enterprises should cut off
00:26:41unnecessary power, gas pipelines, and organize
00:26:44all outdoor personnel to quickly evacuate indoors. We should
00:26:48find the nearest shelter and take evasive measures quickly. For example,
00:26:51if outdoors, observe the tornado's path
00:26:55in real time, and avoid its path . Find
00:26:59the nearest basement or lower floor quickly. If
00:27:03in a high-rise building, you should quickly go to
00:27:06a windowless room, bathroom, and internal corridor,
00:27:10away from doors, windows, balconies, and exterior walls
00:27:14. Today's program featured one heart-wrenching
00:27:18rescue scene after another, leaving a deep impression on us and also sounding a warning
00:27:21that inland areas can also experience extreme weather like tornadoes.
00:27:25Cities built with steel and concrete
00:27:29are not impregnable either. In addition to.
