Marathon accident: The Meteorological Bureau did not provide information about the passage of cold air. Will it bear some responsibility for this?

In the Gansu Baiyin Marathon incident, due to extreme weather encountered during the race, 21 of the more than 170 athletes participating in the race died, and the mortality rate reached 12. In a sports competition, such a huge casualty occurs, which can be said to be a very serious accident.

It was later learned that in this marathon accident, the local meteorological department did not issue warning information about extreme weather before the race. So will the local meteorological bureau be responsible for this marathon accident? What about partial responsibility?

Personally, I think the Meteorological Bureau should not be held responsible for this. Weather forecast information can only be used as a reference.

Although today's science and technology are advanced, it is still difficult to make accurate weather forecasts. Today's weather forecasts are all forecasted through meteorological satellites in space, which makes our field of vision wider and allows us to make weather forecasts for the next 24 hours to a certain extent.

But in fact there are many factors that affect the weather, and they change rapidly. Even if we use some high-tech equipment to assist, if we want to forecast the weather very accurately, according to the current level of technology, it is It can't be done.

Generally speaking, if our weather forecast can achieve an accuracy of 80%, it would be quite good. Therefore, the weather programs broadcast on our TV can only make a forecast for the weather within 24 hours. Since it is a forecast, it means that it can only be used as a reference, so even if the local weather bureau has not made a forecast for the extreme weather before the game , and one should not take the blame for this. Event organizers should make relevant preparations in advance.

In this marathon in Baiyin, Gansu, there were quite a lot of athletes participating. It can be said to be a large-scale sports event. For such a large-scale sports event, the organizers should have made relevant preparations in advance, including understanding the weather conditions in order to respond to emergencies during the event.

Judging from the final results of the event, the organizers were obviously not professional enough in these aspects. Not only did they not consider that the competition location was located at a high altitude, they also did not expect to encounter such extreme weather. It can be said that although this marathon accident caused the death of 21 people, this is by no means a natural disaster. It was entirely a man-made disaster caused by insufficient preparations. The Meteorological Bureau can proactively provide reference weather information.

The huge momentum of this game must be well known in the local area, and the local meteorological department should also be very aware of it. As a relatively professional meteorological department, even if the event organizer did not require the meteorological bureau to provide weather conditions, if the meteorological department could proactively provide weather information to the organizer, this sports accident might not have occurred.

Communication and coordination are needed between people, and of course between departments, in order to solve problems perfectly. If everyone could proactively communicate with others before dealing with problems, I think there wouldn't be so many accidents in the world.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. Things have happened, and we can only draw lessons from them and draw inferences from one example to avoid similar accidents from happening again. This marathon accident is a negative lesson for all sports events and deserves our careful summary!
