Death toll rises to seven in E China subway tunnel collapse

17日，搜救搶險人員又從杭州地鐵工地塌陷事故現場尋找到３具遇難者遺體。截至１８時記者發稿，事故中遇難人員已達７人，另有１４人失蹤。
　　Two more bodies are found in the rubble of a subway construction site collapse in eastern China, bringing the death toll to seven. Rescuers are still searching for 14 others.
　　Both victims were male. One, surnamed Fang, was from Chun'an county of Zhejiang. The other man is yet to be identified.
　　Between 400-500 rescuers are looking for 14 people still trapped after a 75-meter section of subway tunnel collapsed Saturday afternoon. The section was under construction in the Xiaoshan District of the Zhejiang Province.
　　Hope to find the missing still alive is diminishing.
　　"It (the mire) could be as deep as seven meters," said Yang Zhongjie, an expert with the rescue team. Yang added that water in the pit was drained Sunday but there were still as many as 20,000 cubic meters of mire to be cleared.
　　The collapse injured 24 people, all of whom were initially hospitalized. So far, eleven have been discharged.
　　The cause of the accident is under investigation.

　　１７日，搜救搶險人員又從杭州地鐵工地塌陷事故現場尋找到３具遇難者遺體。截至１８時記者發稿，事故中遇難人員已達７人，另有１４人失蹤。
　　記者從杭州市政府副秘書長、搶險指揮部總負責人王光榮獲悉，１７日施救工作的重點是對東西兩側進行降坡作業，形成工作平面，防止塌陷基坑出現進一步傾斜倒塌。根據失蹤人員在出事時所處的方位，在做好基坑支架固定、確保安全的前提下，將派蛙人繼續下到基坑內搜尋失蹤人員。
　　中鐵四局新聞發言人資寶成告訴記者，基坑東側的三層樓房將于１７日全部拆除。截至１７日１７時，塌陷地點東側南段已挖方卸載４０００立方米，東側北段已挖方卸載４０００立方
　　米，占東側總卸載量約１５０００立方米的５３．３％；基坑南端地面出現了裂紋，現已經破除地面，揭蓋卸載土方３００立方米，清淤泥２２００余立方米。
　　關于搶險工作下一步的安排，資寶成表示，搶險人員將繼續加快東側卸載進度，進一步打開工作面；同時進行基坑清理，突擊北側在確保不發生次生災害的情況下，從中間進行搶險；三是盡快形成兩側同時吊管施救的局面；四是在嚴密檢測墻體變形、確保安全的基礎上，多開工作面，加快搶險進度。
　　此外，有關遇難和失蹤施工人員的善后工作也在積極進行中。目前已經有１４戶親屬到達杭州，有關部門正在對他們進行安撫工作。
