Tangan Di Sepit Mesin

MERSING: Seorang penyelenggara mesin di sebuah kilang sawit di sini, Mohd Sharil Sidik, 21, putus pergelangan tangan kanannya yang terperosok ke dalam mesin pengangkut ketika melakukan kerja pembersihan.

Dalam kejadian kira-kira jam 9.30 pagi Ahad lalu, mangsa dikatakan sedang bertugas seorang diri dan berada di atas mesin berkenaan sebelum tangannya dipercayai tersangkut pada mesin itu menyebabkan pergelangan tangannya terputus dan tercampak ke lantai. 

Jeritan kuat mangsa menyebabkan rakannya dikenali sebagai Wan, 20-an yang berada di stor kilang berkenaan bergegas ke tempat kejadian sebelum menemui pergelangan tangan mangsa yang terputus.

Wan berkata, melihatkan kecederaan parah dialami mangsa, dia menghubungi pengurus kilang memaklumkan kejadian itu sebelum membawa mangsa serta bahagian tangan yang putus ke Hospital Mersing (HM).

Sebaik mangsa tiba di HM, pengurusan kilang itu menghubungi Hospital Sultanah Aminah (HSA), Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan serta Hospital Sultan Ismail, Johor Bahru untuk mendapatkan rawatan kecemasan.

Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant

At this point in the Fukushima disaster, Wilmshurst said, the tsunami appears to be the immediate culprit, since the plants shut down as they were designed to do following the earthquake. When the tsunami hit an hour later, it damaged the site infrastructure, he said. So while the earthquake had cut the reactors' external power supply, which is needed to keep coolant pumps doing their job, the tsunami killed the diesel backup generators needed to provide power for the cooling system. Batteries provided power for only up to eight hours. Mobile generators were brought in to take over.

Yusof berkata, dalam kejadian kira-kira jam 10 pagi itu, Muhammad Fariz mengikut bapa saudaranya, Habibullah Halim, 30-an, yang memandu jentera itu untuk membajak sawah berhampiran rumahnya dan dia dikatakan duduk di sebelah tempat duduk pemandu.

Selepas membajak tidak sampai 30 meter, Habibullah tersedar arwah tiada di sebelah.
Apabila dia memandang ke belakang arwah dilihat sudah terbaring dengan badannya disaluti lumpur serta berlumuran darah.
