我覺得...應該不能國賠。



12日有兩家人,一共4大2小,6位民眾一起到南投武界溪床野營;但13日清晨,武界壩卻無預警放水,結果其中4個人被大水沖走。目前已經尋獲其中3人的遺體,還有1名大人失蹤,持續搜救中。

6 people from two families, including 4 adults and 2 children, went camping at the Wujie Creek, Nantou County on September 12, while where the Wujie Dam suddenly released its water without warning at the early hours of the next morning, causing 4 people flushed swept away by the huge water flow flash flood. 3 bodies have been found, but one remains missing as the rescue team continuesd to search.

 

空勤直升機將12歲盧姓女童的遺體吊掛上岸,她的母親在一旁痛哭失聲,因為前一天,他們才和朋友兩家,一共六個人,開心到南投仁愛鄉武界栗栖溪溪床野營;但13日清晨4點多,上游的武界壩卻無預警放水。

The mother burst out crying emotionally when the helicopter of the Airborne Service carried the little girl's body to the shore. They just had a great day camping out at the Wujielichi creek bank with two families, 6 people in total, hours before the Wujie Dam upstream of the creek unexpectedly released its water at around 4 a.m., September 13.

 

生還民眾胡小姐說:「我是睡車上,我車上的窗戶還有縫,我聽到那個聲音的時候,我以為是下雨,趕快起來看,結果不是,是那個轟隆隆的聲音,然後都是水聲。」

"I was sleeping in the car," one survivor, miss Hu, said "leaving the car window opened. When I heard the booming, I thought it was the rain, but it's not. I quickly got up and checked out the sound, it was the water."

 

兩家人的休旅車因為大水衝擊,還卡在溪床上,必須靠其他車輛拖拉才脫困。大水沖走2大2小,一共4人,當地出動大批搜救人員搶救。

Their SUVs still stuck in the riverbed, waiting for other motor vehicles to drag them away. 4 people, 2 adults and 2 children, had been flushed swept away by the water. A large number of search-and-rescue crew personnel have been deployed dispatched to the area to conduct the searching mission.

 

台電明潭大觀發電廠廠長許宗源說:「我們的6號閘門不明原因的就自動開啟了,自動開啟以後,因為沒有警報,所以我們也不曉得,也沒有廣播。」

"The floodgate six had turned on itself with unknown reason." Hsu tsung-yuan, the head of the Mingtian power hydro plant said. "Since it opened automatically without a sign, we didn't have a clue about this either, and we didn't make the warning announcement."

 

台電大觀發電廠廠長證實,武界壩的6號排洪閘門,在13日清晨4點12分及5點8分,兩度不明原因自動開啟。而搜救至13日下午5點,已經陸續尋獲3具遺體,仍有一名男性成人未尋獲,生還民眾回想大水來的那一刻,相當驚恐。

Hsu has confirmed that the floodgate six of the dam had automatically opened twice for due to "unknown reason", one at 4:12 a.m., one at 5:08 a.m.,September 13. By 5:00 p.m., September 13, 3 bodies have been found, but one adult man remains missing. The survivors still panic when thinking about the accident.

 

生還民眾胡小姐說:「趕快叫人,然後叫他們,然後照他們,看他們有沒有在那裡,結果我手電筒一照,那裡人都不見了。」

"I called them and tried to find them with my flashlight, but they were all gone." Miss Hu recalled.

 

胡小姐表示,她當下爬上車頂打電話求救,但自己的先生和女兒都已經不見;而武界溪床能不能野營?台電表示,都有設置禁止進入的警示牌。

She climbed to the car roof and made an SOS call, but her husband and daughter were already missing. The Taipower company said that the prohibition signs have been put around the riverside as they were asked about whether it's illegal to camp in the Wujie creek bed.

 

台電明潭大觀發電廠廠長許宗源表示,「要到溪的入口的地方都會設立一個警告牌,就是請民眾就是不要下來,因為水庫隨時可能就有放水的時候,就會有危險發生。」

"Every entrance to the creek stands a sign, telling people not to go down to the creek bed for safety concerns, as the dam could release its water at anytime." Hsu stated.

 

交通部觀光局也向南投縣府查證,意外發生地點並非合法的露營場地。不過死者家屬認為,台電放水未廣播,還有排洪閘門故障,才會釀成意外,不排除提出國賠。對於閘門開啟原因等問題,台電仍需進一步調查。

The place where the accident happened is not a legal camping site, the Tourism Bureau, M.O.T.C and the Nantou County government have verified. But the victim's family members claimed that the malfunction of the floodgate and the absence of a warning announcement before the water discharge have played a role in the accident. They are considering to issue a claim for state compensation. The Taipower said it needs further investigation to find the real cause of the gate's unexpected opening.

成佛有什麼用?what is the use of becoming a Buddha?

成佛有什麼用?What is the use of becoming a Buddha? This is a rhetorical question often asked by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. We always have the presumption that life is for a purpose and every thing we do should contribute to that purpose, otherwise it's useless. This ubiquitous utilitarianism dominates our modern society. It's so deep and prevalent that we can't even recognize we are acting under its influence. I was reading the book "The Miracle of Mindfulness" by Thich Nhat Hanh this week. He emphasizes on being mindful of one's breath, body movements, feelings and emotions a lot. That means we should be aware of our in breath and out breath at every moment, even when we are doing our work or talking to somebody.  While I seem to know what he's saying, I don't really understand why we should do that? Why should we be aware of our breath when it goes so well automatically? Why do we bother to mind it if human beings have evolved such a long way to make our ...
