【新唐人2013年07月11日訊】四川省江油市青蓮鎮的「盤江大橋」，7月9號上午11點半垮塌，多輛汽車及路人跌入江中。官方強調這次事故是自然災害，但當地民眾發帖反駁說，在調查事故報告還沒有出來之前，就有官員出來強調大橋是被暴雨衝垮的！請看我們的報導。
江油市政府星期二在新聞發佈會上說，近期盤江上游連降暴雨，「盤江河流量突然增大，形成50年一遇的特大洪峰，最高流量達每秒6600立方米」。當局表示，「此次洪水泥沙含量高、衝刷力量大、破壞性特別強，致使青蓮鎮盤江大橋發生垮塌」。但有民眾表示，在調查事故報告還沒有出來的時候，就有官員出來強調、斷定橋是因為暴雨被衝跨的，說明有人心裡是虛的。
「盤江大橋」坍塌事故，截至7月10號上午11點，已知落水車輛有6輛，失蹤者12人。
「盤江大橋」建成於1969年，全長160米，寬8米，為空腹式混凝土雙曲拱橋。汶川5•12地震後，「盤江大橋」進行了維護加固，但重啟運行併進行管制通行的5天後，就發生了垮塌。
江油市官方強調，這次垮橋事故為自然災害，但對大橋是否存在質量問題，以及事發前對大橋的安全監控是否到位等問題，並沒有提供任何解釋。
當地一名網友反駁官方，並且質問官員，他說：「第一次新聞發佈會說的是：每秒7000立方米的水流量，導致橋樑坍塌。那請問你，這個橋樑的設計是按照抗多少衝擊力來設計的？而且從本質上來說，相關部門對這座橋也不是放心的，因為事先已經對它限高、限重。但是又是誰決策？讓它承受著綿江路車輛的雙向通行流量的！」
這名網友說，這是天災！也是人禍！而人禍更是人禍。
也有網友反映，「修建這座橋時車流量很小，現在車流量多大啊？在啟用這座橋時，領導們考慮這個因素沒有?」
第三名網友說，「甚麼時候看到類似的事情——第一時間官員出來表態道歉，然後辭職接受調查，這個國家就有救了。」
也有網友要求：「還事實真相。」
香港《蘋果日報》副刊論壇作者李碧華也表示，在中國，每是人禍推展了天災，而且地方政府幾乎不著力災後重建，總是以為隔不久又來了，重建何用？不如把捐款中飽私囊還實際。
四川省近期還有兩座大橋垮塌。據官方媒體報導，綿竹市綿遠河牛鼻子大橋垮塌，以及興隆拱星大橋垮塌，堤防損毀10公裡。

Who is to Blame for the Jiangyou Bridge Collapse?
The Pan River Bridge in Jiangyou, Sichuan province,
collapsed at 11:30am July 9th, 2013, throwing many cars and pedestrians into the river.
Chinese authorities claimed this incident to be a natural
disaster, saying the bridge washed away in heavy rains.
Locals denounced this report, saying such a report before
any investigating indicates that some people are worried.
Why they worried?
Below is our report.
Jiangyou municipal government said at a news conference
on Tuesday that the recent heavy rains upstream of Pan River
caused "Pan River's flow to increase suddenly, reaching a 50-
year record at a maximum of 6,600 cubic meters per second."
Authorities said, "The high flood levels contained
a large amount of sediment, which had a strong erosive power,
resulting in the collapse of the Pan River Bridge."
But the public says that this conclusion was released before
the investigation report, showing that someone is afraid of the truth.
By 11am on July 10, six vehicles are known to have fallen
into the river, and 12 people went missing.
The Pan River Bridge was built in 1969.
Its total length is 160 meters, and it is 8 meters wide.
It is a concrete hyperbolic arch bridge.
After the May 12th Wenchuan earthquake, the Pan River
Bridge was reinforced, but five days after its reopening, the collapse took place.
Jiangyou authorities stressed that the bridge collapse
is a natural disaster, but they provided no explanation
of whether there were quality control problems or whether
there were issues with the security check.
A local netizen denounced the official explanation.
He said, "The first press conference reported that water flow
at 7000 cubic meters per second caused the bridge to collapse.
Then I will ask you, what was this bridge designed for?
The authorities were worried about this bridge in the first place
since they limited the weight and height of vehicles crossing it.
Then who decided that the bridge will serve the two-way traffic
flow as it does now?”"
This netizen said,"this is a natural disaster, but more
of a man-made disaster."
Netizens also said, "At the time of construction, the traffic
on this bridge was very light.
Now it is totally different.
Did the authorities consider this issue or not?"
A third netizen said, "When officials stand up, apologize,
and then resign for their fault after such accidents, then the country will have a future."
Other netizens also requested, "We need the truth!"
Li Bihua, editor of a supplementary forum of Hong Kong
newspaper Apple Daily, said that in China, man-made disasters are always reported as natural disasters.
What's more, after the disaster, local governments do not
learn a lesson, and only repeat the same mistake soon after.
It is simply useless for them to reconstruct the bridge to have
it collapse again.
They could simply take the money for themselves.
Recently two bridges fell in Sichuan province.
According to official media reports, one was in Mianzhu City
and the other in Xinglong.
10 km of embankment was damaged.
