CCTV-9: Baocheng railway repairs make breakthrough
Baocheng railway repairs make breakthrough

Special Report: Strong quake jolts SW China
Monday's earthquake severely affected road and railway traffic. The quake-damaged Baoji-Chengdu Railway is the lifeline linking northwest China to the southwest provinces. Repairs crews rushed to restore the line immediately after the disaster. They're making an all out effort. There's been a breakthrough in the repair effort.
Inside this railway tunnel a 40-car freight train derailed during Monday's quake, paralyzing the rail link between the Sichuan Capital of Chengdu and Baoji City in Shaanxi Province. The tunnel is located in Huixian county of Gansu Province.
The train, carrying 500 tons of gasoline, burst into flame. The fire blazed for about 40 hours before being brought under control Wednesday afternoon.
Firefighters continue pumping water from a nearby river, then pouring it through the top of the tunnel. Most of smoke has been dispersed outside the tunnel. But inside the tunnel, the smoke is still heavy. Another team of firefighters in the tunnel continues to spray water on the carriages.
Vice Political Commissar of Shaanxi Province Fire Department said 70 commandos and soldiers have been here for three days and nights. The head of the train blocked the tunnel after the earthquake. The fire has been put out, but there are still some flames. And it's still a danger because there are 13 rail cars loaded with gasoline that could explode in the heat. We're spraying water to try to keep the temperature down.
The official estimated the fire will be extinguished late today or tomorrow. Then the damaged train can be pulled from the tunnel, allowing crews to set about repairing the rail link and the tunnel.

SUMMARY
=======
The 2008 Sichuan earthquake (Chinese: 汶川大地震; pinyin: Wènchuān dà dìzhèn; literally: 'Great Wenchuan earthquake'), also known as the Great Sichuan earthquake or Wenchuan earthquake, occurred at 14:28:01 China Standard Time on May 12, 2008. Measuring at 8.0 Ms (7.9 Mw), the earthquake's epicenter was located 80 kilometres (50 mi) west-northwest of Chengdu, the provincial capital, with a focal depth of 19 km (12 mi). The earthquake ruptured the fault for over 240 km (150 mi), with surface displacements of several meters. The earthquake was also felt in nearby countries and as far away as both Beijing and Shanghai—1,500 and 1,700 km (930 and 1,060 mi) away—where office buildings swayed with the tremor. Strong aftershocks, some exceeding 6 Ms, continued to hit the area up to several months after the main shock, causing further casualties and damage. The earthquake also caused the largest number of geohazards ever recorded, including about 200,000 landslides and more than 800 quake lakes distributed over an area of 110,000 km2 (42,000 sq mi).Over 69,000 people lost their lives in the quake, including 68,636 in Sichuan province. 374,176 were reported injured, with 18,222 listed as missing as of July 2008. The geohazards triggered by the earthquake are thought to be responsible for at least one third of the death toll. The earthquake left about 4.8 million people homeless, though the number could be as high as 11 million. Approximately 15 million people lived in the affected area. It was the deadliest earthquake to hit China since the 1976 Tangshan earthquake, which killed at least 240,000 people, and the strongest in the country since the 1950 Chayu earthquake, which registered at 8.5 on the Richter magnitude scale. It is the 18th deadliest earthquake of all time. On November 6, 2008, the central government announced that it would spend 1 trillion RMB (about US $146.5 billion) over the next three years to rebuild areas ravaged by the earthquake, as part of the Chinese economic stimulus program.
