More than 500 passengers were rescued, 12 people were killed, and 5 passengers were sent to hospital for observation. , The vital signs are stable.
Red Star News previously reported that because the official has not yet announced the list of victims, some people who have suffered “lost connections” from relatives and friends have successively posted help messages online, looking for “lost connections” on Zhengzhou Metro Line 5. As of the morning of July 24, at least two passengers who took Line 5 on the night of the incident were still missing. Their families have been waiting at the Shakou Road Station of Metro Line 5 for the end of the drainage of the subway for further search and rescue.

However, the current photo has been identified by two family members at the scene, and it has not been confirmed whether it is his family.
The Red Star News reporter saw at the scene that a number of engineering personnel were working on site, and the two water pumps were doing their best to drain water.
▲On-site at Shakou Road Station of the Metro.On July 23, the chief engineer of Zhengzhou Metro introduced that it was already passable between Shakou Road Station and Haitansi Station, but the water level between Haitansi Station and Zhengzhou People’s Hospital Station was still relatively high. “The highest water level is about 5 meters. , The middle part of the tunnel is still filled with water.”
In addition, the chief engineer of Zhengzhou Metro explained that he had tried to use “long suction” drainage equipment to drain water, but the equipment was too large to be used inside the subway, and finally had to be abandoned. According to estimates, on the afternoon of the 24th, the accumulated water in the three stations will be pumped to a level that can be searched and rescued.
