Li Wei, director of the Counter-Terrorism Research Center of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, said in an interview with a reporter from Beiqing Daily , it can be seen from the explosion video that the behavior of the people at the scene reflects their lack of basic awareness of how to avoid explosives.
Li Wei said that in the video, when the suspicious explosive object started to smoke, there were still people staying in place to watch, “If it was a strong Explosives, such an approach will cause great harm.” After the explosion, some people even returned to watch, “This means they have not thought that there might be two explosions.”
Li Wei suggested that when encountering suspicious or flammable or smoking objects in public places, you should first stay away from the scene and ensure that youIf you are safe, take other measures such as calling the police. After an explosion occurs, you must stay away in time to avoid possible secondary explosions. When encountering explosives that cannot be avoided, it is best to lie down on the ground. “Any explosive will form an upward fan-shaped explosion surface. Only by lying on the ground can the damage be minimized.”
The video shows that before and after the explosion, someone was hiding on the luggage conveyor belt or behind the check-in counter. In this regard, Li Wei said that these places are not good places to hide. If the explosion generates a large shock wave, it may cause nearby objects to splash. “It’s best to hide behind a relatively solid object. Of course, the best way is to hide as far away as possible and stay as far away from the scene as possible.”
