00:00:33A tornado swept through in the middle of the night. A man on the 12th floor was swept out of the window.
00:00:36外
00:00:37The residents in the surrounding houses were all safe.
00:00:42Without any warning, a strong wind instantly swept through the entire street. The night was instantly turned into a mess, and the residents still felt lingering fear
00:01:48when they recalled the shocking scene.
00:01:51回 想 起 那 碗 精 心 动 破 的 一 幕 , 依 旧 心 有 余 记
00:01:55In this rare extreme weather,
00:02:30the thrilling scene experienced by the businesses on the street was just a microcosm of this disaster.
00:02:33Not far from this night market,
00:02:37in a residential community, the tornado that night
00:02:41stopped, and a man was actually
00:02:45directly swept out of the window from the 12th floor
00:02:48and fell to the ground below.
00:02:51At around 8 p.m. on July 6, 2026,
00:02:54Huang Gang was the first to witness it
00:02:58among some high-rise residents in Huangzhou District.
00:03:13The tornado, with a roaring sound, went straight into the urban area.
00:03:17Wherever it passed, sparks kept
00:03:20erupting.
00:03:23Like many local residents, Ms. Li, who lives in a certain community in Huangzhou District,
00:03:27never thought that an unexpected disaster
00:03:31would suddenly befall them. Not long after the incident,
00:03:35Ms. Li, still in shock, accepted a media interview.
00:03:38"We were on the sofa, and then suddenly
00:03:42, suddenly there was a very strong wind." That night
00:03:46at around 8 p.m., Ms. Li and her husband, Mr. Zhang, who live on the 12th floor,
00:03:50had just finished dinner. Mr. Zhang was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching
00:03:54TV, and Ms. Li was rocking her baby to sleep
00:03:57in the cradle. The couple had no idea what was happening.
00:05:42The living room was completely cleared, and what was most unexpected
00:05:46was that Mr. Zhang, who was originally in the living room, was also missing.
00:05:50I searched every room for my husband, but I couldn't find him. I don't know where he is.
00:06:55Mr. Wang quickly opened the door to rescue Ms. Li and the child. Without time to catch his breath, he immediately rushed to the stairwell, ran down from the 12th floor to the first floor, and urgently searched for his cousin, whose life or death was unknown.
00:06:59Finally, he found Mr. Zhang,
00:07:03who was barely breathing, in a green belt.
00:07:05Mr. Zhang, who fell from the 12th floor,
00:07:08had completely lost consciousness, but he was still alive.
00:07:33All were shattered by the strong wind. Many affected families didn't even have time to repair, so they could only temporarily seal the windows with tarps.
00:07:37That window in the distance is Mr. Zhang's home. Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang's cousin,
00:07:41accepted a media interview.
00:08:42For an adult to fall from the 12th floor, the hope of survival is very slim.
00:08:46Fortunately, Mr. Zhang was blocked by a trash can
00:08:50during his fall, and the impact was partially absorbed.
00:08:53After being rescued, Mr. Zhang was diagnosed with brain injury and multiple
00:08:57fractures all over his body, and has been receiving treatment
00:09:00in the intensive care unit. The man was caught in the whirlwind,
00:09:04his life hanging
00:09:05by a thread.
00:11:30The video, which was mistaken by firefighters for the scene of an explosion or earthquake, was the ruins left behind after the tornado swept through the Yuanqu area. Wuliuyuan
00:11:34District covers nearly 100 mu, mostly steel structure workshops, office buildings,
00:11:38and truck parking lots. In just a few minutes, the park was almost
00:11:41razed to the ground. The caller said that
00:11:45there were no workers operating in the park that night, but a workshop crushed a row of low-rise workers'
00:11:49dormitories. A worker was trapped under the debris,
00:11:53his life or death unknown.
00:12:26"Is anyone there?" The rescue personnel arrived at the door of the last dormitory.
00:12:30The scene before them was desperate. "No one is in
00:12:34our room either."
00:12:37The roof of this small room, which was only seven or eight square meters,
00:12:41had completely collapsed, and the ground was covered with thick
00:12:45tiles. The trapped man mentioned by the caller was nowhere to be seen.
00:12:48The bricks and tiles at the scene were already very deep.
00:12:52The person might have been buried, and the hope
00:12:56of survival might not be very high. Where was the trapped person,
00:12:59and what was his condition? The firefighters didn't have time to think and immediately started the rescue.
00:13:03Due to the on-site conditions, large equipment could not be used, so they could only
00:13:07rely on experience to dig by hand.
00:13:09"Hurry up and dig him out.
00:13:13Our gloves, our fingers were worn out.
00:13:17As we were digging, suddenly a brick moved.
00:13:21After seeing his head move, we felt that this person definitely had a deeper hope of survival."
00:13:25The trapped person was still alive, with weak breathing. Everyone at the scene
00:13:29did not dare to make a sound.
00:13:30The trapped man was found.
00:13:36But everyone soon realized that the man's entire
00:13:40body was tightly wrapped by a huge plastic film
00:13:44that fell with the ceiling.
00:13:46The thick plastic film fell with the collapse of the ceiling, completely covering the trapped person.
00:13:49Moreover, his face was a bit pale, as if he had been covered for a long time.
00:13:52全 盖 在 那 个 背 fy 人 的 身 上 。
00:13:55而且他臉色有點發白發的那種就是被的時間帶過一長了
00:14:00They opened it, and he was inside.
00:14:06The firefighters immediately opened the plastic film covering the man's mouth to prevent him from inhaling. After opening it, they saw the trapped person breathing heavily. If his breathing slowed down, he might not have survived.
00:14:20"Use a
00:14:21oh, can't open it. Use a quick extension."
00:14:26The trapped man looked to be less than 30 years old, with a pale face and blurry
00:14:30consciousness. After continuous clearing by the firefighters, the man's upper body
00:14:33gradually emerged from the debris, but his limbs were still
00:14:37buried under the ruins, and one of his arms was tightly
00:14:41pressed by a stone slab. The team members immediately adjusted the force angle,
00:14:45and slowly lifted
00:14:46it.
00:16:07He immediately turned sideways and firmly propped against the wall with his arm,
00:16:11avoiding secondary 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.
00:16:33Oh, dear. The entire area's
00:19:07broken walls and beams were still tottering. The risk of secondary collapse had not
00:19:11yet been eliminated. The firefighter
00:19:15carried the woman firmly on his back, and quickly evacuated
00:19:19this dangerous area. Trust
00:19:22us.
00:19:28Step by step.
00:19:32Just a few meters out of the room, that jade plate that had been hanging
00:19:36collapsed with a crash.
00:20:07The reporter revisited the heavily damaged logistics park. The collapsed buildings
00:20:11and scattered debris still seemed to allow people to see
00:20:15the shocking night.
00:20:18The top of the building
00:20:30was
00:20:31about 400 jin. When it came down, it directly smashed the second floor's floor to the first floor.
00:20:37400金左右下來的時候把二樓的地板完完全直接砸到一樓
00:20:47This scene of waste was late
00:21:20The rescued man, surnamed Huang, 27 years old, is a technician
00:21:24in the Wuliuyuan District. He was diagnosed with multiple pelvic fractures.
00:21:27According 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.
00:21:47The woman who was pressed by the jade plate at that time.
00:22:40What caused this tornado? The reporter came to the Hubei
00:22:43Provincial Meteorological Bureau to seek an answer. So for
00:22:47such a strong tornado of EF3 level, its occurrence probability is very rare.
00:22:53Basically, among 100 tornadoes, only six can reach this EF3 level.
00:22:57According to the professional meteorological agency's assessment, this tornado
00:23:01was an EF3 strong tornado. This level of tornado itself
00:23:05is relatively rare, and its occurrence within urban areas is even
00:23:08a low-probability event. Experts said that this was an extreme weather
00:23:12caused by multiple meteorological factors working together. On the one hand,
00:23:16the residual circulation of Typhoon Meisac and the southwest airflow
00:23:20on the periphery of the subtropical high pressure overlapped over our province,
00:23:24which also formed a relatively strong warm and humid airflow. On the other hand,
00:23:28the cold air from the rear of the northeast cold vortex intruded,
00:23:32accelerating the instability of the atmospheric layer, forming a strong
00:23:35upward airflow. At the same time, in the eastern part of our province, there was also
00:23:39a strong vertical wind shear between the high and low altitudes.
00:23:43First, in the horizontal direction, a rotating vortex
00:23:47tube was formed. Then, with the strong upward movement of the thundercloud,
00:23:51this vortex tube was transformed into a vortex tube
00:23:55rotating rapidly in the vertical direction. This formed
00:23:59the funnel we see, which is a tornado.
00:24:02Despite encountering a rare strong tornado, after the disaster occurred, the local
00:24:06government and fire rescue teams quickly carried out rescue operations
00:24:10and resettled the masses, minimizing the losses of the masses.
00:24:14Currently, relevant facility repair work is being carried out
00:24:17in an orderly manner. Today, we
00:24:23invited Professor Ning Zhanjin from the China Fire and Rescue Academy as our guest. Hello, Professor Ning. We see that
00:24:26this tornado that attacked Huanggang Huangzhou District in Hubei
00:24:30was rated as an EF3 level.
00:24:33In fact, we rarely see this level of tornado,
00:24:37especially in inland cities, it is very rare. So, according to your understanding, what are
00:24:41the typical characteristics of this type of tornado?
00:24:45If it affects inland urban areas, what kind of damage will it cause to buildings
00:24:49and residents? Tornadoes are characterized by small scale,
00:24:53strong destructive power, and short duration, but they have
00:24:56enormous destructive power. The size of a tornado is generally
00:25:00less than 100 meters. From its formation to dissipation,
00:25:04it often only takes a few minutes to tens of minutes, but its maximum
00:25:08wind speed can reach 100 to
00:25:11150 meters per second. That is, 360 to
00:25:15540 kilometers per hour. Compared with our high-speed rail,
00:25:18its speed is even higher than that of high-speed rail.
00:25:22Tornadoes often uproot large trees, overturn vehicles,
00:25:26and destroy buildings. Tornadoes can also trigger power outages,
00:25:30elevator failures, gas leaks, water and
00:25:33internal leaks, and other secondary disasters. Their harm
00:25:37is very serious. The center of a tornado is a downdraft, and its
00:25:41four sides are extremely strong updrafts. It will suck people,
00:25:45livestock, and cars into the air.
00:25:49In this disaster, the resident on the 12th floor was caught
00:25:52outside the window, which is essentially caused by the strong wind's
00:25:56pressure difference and suction. So, if we know
00:25:59about a tornado,
00:26:27return to the city, close doors and windows, cut off unnecessary power, close the gas valve, businesses should stop operating, and quickly
00:26:31dismantle.
00:26:33Or lay down outdoor billboards, etc.
00:27:03If you are in a high-rise building, you should quickly go to
00:27:06a room without windows, a bathroom, or an internal hallway,
00:27:10stay away from doors, windows, balconies, and exterior walls.
00:27:13The shocking rescue scenes in today's program
00:27:17left a deep impression on us, and also sounded an alarm for everyone.
00:27:21Inland areas can also be affected by extreme weather
00:27:25such as tornadoes. Cities built of steel and concrete
00:27:29are not impenetrable, besides.
00:31:32dear viewers. Good evening. Today is August 20th.
