The latest report from Guangzhou Metro stated that the buried personnel will be searched and rescued at all costs. The identity of the third missing person has yet to be confirmed.
At 9:28 am on December 1, 2019, a ground collapse occurred during the construction of Shahe Station on Line 11 of Guangzhou Metro. A cleaning vehicle and an electric bicycle passed through the area fell into the area. Among them, a total of 3 people were trapped.
The relevant person in charge of the Guangzhou Metro said that after the accident, relevant government departments immediately set up a rescue headquarters to actively organize firefighters and the rescue team for the blue sky.
Due to the rapid progress of the landslide, endangering the safety of rescuers, and endangering the power supply, water supply, gas pipelines and viaduct piers in the north of Guangzhou Avenue, in order to prevent the second disaster, on-site experts discussed and decided to reinforce it with concrete to form a safe rescue.

“At present, the slope reinforcement in the subsided area is completely stable, and the north viaduct of Guangzhou Avenue is in a safe condition. On-site search and rescue are still ongoing.” The relevant person in charge of Guangzhou Metro said.
According to a person in charge of the Blue Sky Rescue Team, “When the rescue team arrived at the scene, the water was already overflowing and no one was seen. We wanted to enter the rescue from the air but it collapsed very quickly and the collapsed position was close to the bridge pier. Safety, we took a step back, while related departments were always looking for rescue solutions. “
According to the person in charge of the Guangzhou Metro, the current specific rescue method is to insert a huge steel protective tube around the collapsed area, descend from the middle of the tube, and continue to dig down.
