It has been 4 days since the landslide buried 3 workers inside the high-speed railway tunnel in Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. They have not been able to rescue them yet. However, for safety reasons and to prevent a repeat of the collapse, it is necessary to focus on creating a strong defense line. Anutin traveled to the scene again.Although officials have been working around the clock, they have not been able to rescue the first victim as expected. The nearest location to the truck driver, a Burmese national, is about 1.20 meters away from the defense line, which is a small tunnel measuring 3x3 meters and 6 meters deep. Even though they are close, they have to stop at intervals to create a defense line, which has slowed down the excavation.At the joint meeting of officials this morning, one of the adjustments was to allow the construction of barriers and the shoveling of soil to be done simultaneously for faster speed.Mr. Chaiwat Chuenkosum, Governor of Nakhon Ratchasima Province, rev ealed that at the point where the steel beam hit the metal at a distance of 1.20 meters, the rescue team will consider how to use the camera that is inserted in order to talk, give water or food, and assess whether the doctor can go in to give saline at that point or not. If possible, it will be used as a warm zone so that the doctor can work safely in the transportation. He has prepared a guideline to use a helicopter as an alternative, with the helicopter landing pad located in the upper zone of the tunnel.The governor of Nakhon Ratchasima also requested a metal scanner so that he could compare it to the person and contact Colonel Dr. Pak Loharchun, Chief Medical Officer of the Special Warfare Command, to help support the mission. Initially, Dr. Pak recommended over the phone that he use the emergency medical services of 3 hospitals: Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, Suranaree Camp Hospital, and Pak Chong Nana Hospital.The assistance for the victims has not progressed as planned, so today Mr. Anutin C harnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, traveled to direct the acceleration of assistance once again. The officials reported various obstacles and problems to provide guidelines for various parties to help decide to move forward and solve the problem as soon as possible.At the mouth of the tunnel at Khlong Khanan Chit Railway Station, this morning, the machinery team that dug the soil to reduce the weight of the pressure to the bottom of the tunnel exit was able to dig through the side of the mountain, which is expected to be at the point where the injured vehicle is, but they have to dig down about 5 meters to be at the same level. Therefore, the officials chose to open the side to reduce the risk of another collapse.Source: Thai News Agency
