地球的不眠之夜
河北省东北部的农村地区怪事连连。一连几天,村里的井水升升降降,起起伏伏,井壁上出现了深深的裂缝,至少有一口水井冒出臭气。鸡甚至猪都焦躁不安,不愿进食;狗拒绝进入屋内。老鼠跑到田外,寻找藏身之所;鱼儿也跳出水面。1976年7月28日凌晨3:00左右,唐山城外的天空中出现了耀眼亮光,接着又传出巨大的声响。然而,那天晚上城里的百万居民仍像往常一样沉睡在梦乡。
凌晨3:42,万物开始摇晃,仿佛世界末日即将来临!在城市正下方的11千米处,20世纪伤亡最严重之一的一场地震爆发了,远在150多千米以外的北京都受到了这场地震的破坏,全国几乎三分之一的地区均有震感!一条8千米长、30米宽的巨大裂缝横切房屋、道路和水路。坚硬的石山变成了泥石流。在不到一分钟的时间里,一座大城市沦为废墟。城里三分之二的居民在地震中死亡或受伤,数以千计的孩子失去了父母。在此次地震中丧生或身受重伤的人数超过了40万。
幸存者目及之处无一不是废墟,万物尽毁。市内大约75%的工厂和大楼、90%的住房和所有的医院都倒塌了。砖块就像秋天的红叶覆盖着地面,但是却没有风能将其吹走。大多数桥梁不是坍塌了,就是无法安全通行了;铁轨变成了废金属块;数万头奶牛、数十万头猪和数百万只鸡也都死掉了。沙子灌满水井,井水消失殆尽。人们惊恐万状,然而临近傍晚时分,又一次强烈的地震撼动唐山。更多的楼房倒塌了,没有水和食物,电也停了。人们心里开始疑惑这场灾难还会持续多久。
