The Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was hit and checked

On May 12, the “Xinchuan No. 8” of the ocean liner sank after a collision with the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge. After the accident, a net message spread freely among citizens - "a vessel full of crude oil has fallen and the water from Yizheng can't be drunk immediately", which has triggered a new round of storms. Began to compete for reserves of purified water.

It is understood that, contrary to the poor sales of bottled water caused by Nongfu Spring's quality door, the sales of mineral water suddenly increased sharply, and the mineral water on several supermarket shelves was quickly sold out. Within three hours, the total sales of various mineral waters exceeded 20 times of normal daily sales.

According to news from Nanjing's environmental protection department, after the sinking of the seagoing vessel, the ship’s own fuel oil floated to the surface of the river and there was oil slick. Nanjing has organized several teams to carry out fencing salvage. Multiple oil booms and suction felts have been set up on site and salvage and cleaning work is underway. At present, the data monitored by all water plants in Nanjing is normal. Purchasing pure water in some areas of Yizheng has gradually subsided. The city’s production and life order was normal, and there was no water outage and pure water out of stock.

Regarding the question whether the Yangtze River Bridge has been hit after a collision, the data has shown that the structure of the bridge pier is basically safe and can guarantee the safety of the train operation, after being surveyed by the Maritime Department and the Shanghai Railway Bureau Nanjing Bridge Section.
