周六晚间,加拿大军方被迫将部队通过伞兵空投至该国最繁忙的基地之一。此前,一次实弹演习期间发生瓦斯爆炸并引发火灾,造成至少7人死伤。
The Canadian military was forced to parachute troops into one of the country’s busiest bases on Saturday night after a gas explosion during a live-fire exercise triggered a blaze that left at least seven people dead.
戏剧性的视频显示,在这一悲剧发生后,加拿大皇家空军成员乘降落伞降落在阿尔伯塔省的韦恩赖特加拿大武装部队基地。一位医生将此次事件描述为“15到25年一遇的灾难”。环球新闻高级记者杰夫·森普尔在社交平台X上发布了一段展示此次行动的视频,并配文写道:“十多名加拿大武装部队人员真的通过伞兵降落在韦恩赖特,他们抵达当地卫生中心,以应对附近加拿大武装部队基地的爆炸和火灾。”
Dramatic video shows members of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) landing by parachute at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Albert following the tragedy, which one physician described as a “one in every 15 to 25-year disaster.”“More than a dozen CAF personnel literally parachuting into Wainwright, arriving at the local health centre to respond to the explosion and fire at the nearby Canadian Forces Base,” Jeff Semple, Senior Correspondent for Global News, wrote on X in a post sharing footage of the operation.
画面中可见加拿大皇家空军成员在成功降落于该基地(位于埃德蒙顿以东约130英里)后收起降落伞。
RCAF members can be seen stowing their parachutes after successfully landing at the base, roughly 130 miles east of Edmonton.
环球新闻援引多位军事消息人士的话报道称,在一次实弹训练演习中不慎击中天然气管道并引发野火后,恐有至少7人死亡,多人受伤。
At least seven people are feared dead and many more injured after a gas line was accidentally struck during a live-fire training exercise triggering a wildfire, Global News reported, citing multiple military sources.
据CBC报道,官员们在埃德蒙顿启动了“橙色代码”响应协议,以协助救治来自基地的众多伤员,同时呼吁广大公众避免前往阿尔伯塔大学医院急诊室。
Officials called a “code orange” response protocol in Edmonton to help care for the high number of patients coming from the base, while the general public was urged to avoid the University of Alberta Hospital emergency department, CBC reported.
埃德蒙顿皇家亚历山大医院急诊科医生沃伦·瑟斯克对CBC表示:“伤员数量超过了我们目前任何人想要统计的数字。这是一场灾难。这是一场15到25年一遇的灾难。”
“It is more patients than any of us want to count right now. It’s a disaster. It’s a one in every 15 to 25-year disaster,” Dr. Warren Thirsk, an emergency department physician at Edmonton’s Royal Alexandra Hospital, told CBC.
韦恩赖特市长表示,他担心这一悲剧是其社区有史以来经历的最大规模人员伤亡事件。
The mayor of Wainwright said he feared the tragedy was the largest mass casualty event his community had ever seen.
