Presently, the road from Chengdu to County Mao had been under control by due authority, with social Vehicles limited, only rescue Vehicles permissible to pass.

As was predicted, the 6 large scale excavators for the rescue task would arrive at the site by 19:00 pm.

The rescue team with Scrapers was led by Cui Jie, deputy general manager of the Scraper Marketing Division, who, leading 2 service vehicles and 7 service staff and bringing relevant equipments and spare parts, had come close to the disaster area one step earlier, and had already contacted the Disaster Relief And Emergency Response Office of Sichuan Province.
