But four years later, even if the new Jiujiang Bridge has traffic almost two years, for the Jiujiang Bridge “perpetrators” seems to come to any conclusions. Yesterday morning, following a year ago was charged with traffic offenses be tried in public, the “boat accident,” owner Dan Guide third stood in the dock, his adherence to the previous “no impact marks hull,” “floating pier, said,” and so on, The problem is not that the bridge itself has knocked down their own; the first time the prosecutor made a number of survey to prove that the Jiujiang Bridge before the incident there was no safety risk.
charges: break into non-navigable channel hit the bridge
It Haizhu District Procuratorate accused, June 15, 2007 morning, the defendant Shi Guide Driving “South Kwai machine 035″ boat loads River Sand down the river from the clever opening to Shunde, Foshan, sail the river when there is mist. Although visibility is so sharp decline, but Dan Guide is not required to enhance Outlook, choose a place of safety anchor and take safety measures such as boat speed, the bow can not be confirmed in the white light is seen in front of the main channel light in the case, still sailing adventure.
when the boat close to the Jiujiang Bridge, the Shi Guide for the vessel and the bridge about 80 meters before the occurrence of a beacon collision and realized that the ship has been a serious deviation from the main channel, but it still did not take effective measures such as suspended, but trying to bow raised passage between Jiujiang bridge piers, bridge piers and gullible to avoid touching the vessel.
day 5:10 Xu, captain of the ship and the deviation due to light to determine the flight paths of serious mistakes, resulting in the bow and the ship pier No. 23, Jiujiang Bridge touching occurred, leading to Jiujiang Bridge No. 23, 24, 25, three piers collapsed and caused the bridge collapse load.
accident led to four cars traveling under the bridge into the river destroyed, killing eight people were killed and one missing. Prosecutors to identify, this accident caused economic losses of RMB 45 million yuan.
defendant: “There did not touch the bridge, I do not know”
9 am yesterday, his face dark Shi Guide dressed in T-shirts, trousers, appeared in court on time. Although he was released on bail by the court in late 2008, but the mental state seems not good enough.
as early as July 2010 and August, the case Haizhu District Court has conducted two public hearings, the second trial, the prosecutor had recommended that the Court of Dan Guide sentenced to seven years in prison.
Finally, Dan Guide to the Full Court submitted a “confession”, said when the bridge collapsed, the ship has sunk, “The first feeling is that I touched,” but because of foggy, “there is no real touch, I do not know … … “
trial focus
Focus 1: The collapse of the pier has previously been suspended?
previous trial, defender Dan Guide and will be made as early as before the accident, Jiujiang bridge piers have already suspended the verge of collapse.
court yesterday, his defense counsel issued by the Sichuan Provincial Communications Survey and Design Institute of the Guangdong Branch of traffic to make the “Jiujiang bridge pier scour protection project navigation feasibility reports”, and the commissioning of two industry experts depth analysis of the incident, piers, etc., that does not Jiujiang bridge pier construction according to the provisions of its 2 meters deep into the rock. Foundation is not strong at the same time, nearly 20 years, such as damage due to river dredging, water depth, etc. Jiujiang waters have also changed, 23, 25, appeared in the short pile piers, 24 piers and even suspended 0.3 meters and so on. The view that precisely because the pier is no basis for the state, so do not rule out the possibility of their own fall.
this regard, the prosecutor said, the defense presented the schematic calculation of standard error, calculated on the basis of which they have no original documents can not be accepted as evidence. Schematic diagram of the so-called experts prepared the Full Court has not been identified as expert opinion, so there is no evidence of effectiveness for reference only.
it also pointed out that, according to the Jiujiang Bridge had to be built in the planning and construction, supervision and other relevant approvals to clear the bridge piers have been really into the rock, “they will not hang on until the last 20 years, the bridge base just hit the sand, the bridge collapsed long ago. “It also suggested that in October 2005, Jiujiang Bridge, the last full-body examination, the results show its” good health. ”
Focus 2: whether the ship hit the bridge incident?
had two trial, Shi Guide have insisted they did not hit the bridge boat, and witnesses involved in salvage of the new Lee said he was involved in sinking Tanmo found that the bow , the stern, the ship’s side did not touch the marks, and photographs in court to testify. Court yesterday, Dan Guide and defense lawyers both said, no impact marks on the ship involved.
this regard, the prosecutor responded that after the incident with police officers to ask a professional diving underwater exploration, found the ship starboard beneath a point of impact. In this regard, counsel that this so-called point of impact is unreasonable, then it marks that should be directly hit the top of the bow, and not in the lower right. In this regard the prosecutor pointed out that the bridge between the piers and columns are a prominent cap connection, it is generally under the surface near the bow of the ship is floating on the water while traveling, so the impact should be the hull rather than bow to it. The Dan Guide found fierce left to play when the impact direction, so the point of impact in the lower right side of the ship.
Focus 3: Bridge Why a “hit” on the back?
court yesterday, prosecutors also presented a number of reports after the incident in court the investigation report. It is reported that after the incident, the relevant departments involved in a pier with similar conditions 15, 16 piers of static load test (ie, stay a certain number of cars on the bridge), found not to reduce the capacity of the piers.
According to its introduction, due to non-involved 23 shipping pier at the mouth, so the impact tolerance of only 40 tons, but later tests found by the impact force, impact force of vessels involved to reach 1,000 tons, So pier succumbed in droves.
