中山橋究責

有37年歷史的基隆中山人行陸橋，昨天中午發生坍塌意外，造成一名女子連人帶橋摔到月台上。崩落的橋還壓垮台鐵高壓電線，造成6列次班車停駛，42列次誤點，上萬名乘客受到影響。議員今天出面痛批，橋樑老舊，市府團隊怠惰、疏於維護，才會發生意外，但基隆市長卻說是因為地震頻繁，造成橋墩位移才會釀禍。

經過工人徹夜搶修，塌陷在月台上的中山陸橋部份橋樑，已經清除，崩塌的橋面，則暫時用鋼板便橋銜接。

昨天中午，基隆中山陸橋突然崩塌，水泥塊掉落一地，塌陷面積長二十公尺，寬兩公尺，正好垮在基隆車站第一月台，一名22歲的詹姓女子，連人帶橋摔到五公尺下的月台上，造成輕微腦震盪。

[[署立基隆醫院醫師 張修]]
“目前發生事情的那一剎那，她可能記不住，其實就是人的自我防衛系統，腦部受傷最怕就是延遲性出血，那這個沒人可以預測，就是要多觀察”

只是跨越基隆火車站的中山橋，每天有高達上萬人次通過，怎麼會突然斷落。基隆市議員出面痛批市府團隊怠惰。

[[基隆市議員 洪森永]]
“市長講說他兩年前，就知道這邊是一個危橋，那中央經費一直沒有下來，所以沒有錢來維修，由這件事情我們可以感受出來，整個施政團隊的一個怠惰”

不過基隆市長張通榮強調，規定兩年一次檢查都有做到，是因為地震頻繁，造成橋墩位移才會釀禍。

A Keelung pedestrian overpass collapses on to train platform (2013/06/09)

A 37-year Zhongshan Road pedestrian overpass collapsed at noon on Saturday. One woman was injured as part of the overpass fell onto a railway platform below. Taiwan Railway power lines were affected with six trains being canceled and 42 trains delayed, affecting around 10,000 passengers. A city councilor criticized city officials as being lazy in their negligence and failure to repair the old bridge. The Keelung Mayor said frequent earthquakes in the area could have displaced bridge piers leading to the unfortunate accident. 

After a night of repair, workers cleared much of the overpass which had collapsed onto the train platform. Temporary steel supports have also been added for the remaining portions of the overpass. 

Yesterday afternoon, this pedestrian overpass suddenly collapsed, with blocks of cement falling. The affected area of the pedestrian overpass measured twenty meters in length and two meters wide, collapsing onto Keelung Train Station’s Platform Number 1.

A 22-year-old woman, surnamed Chan, tumbled five meters as the bridge collapsed onto the railroad platform below. Fortunately, she only suffered a slight concussion.

南北韓會談

朝鮮半島緊張局勢出現緩解契機，雙方代表在台北時間今天上午十點左右，在南韓板門店的【和平之家】進行工作會談，替下週三在首爾登場的部長級正式會談鋪路，而這也是兩韓暌違兩年多來，第一次政府部門層級的對話。

南韓統一部發言人金炯錫在開記者會上，表示這次會議非常順利，沒有發生任何爭議問題，在這場在板門店【和平之家】舉行的工作會談，雙方都派出了三人小組，參加會談。

[[南韓統一部官員 千海成]]
“南北韓關係發展，透過點滴、逐步的互信機制來達成”

不過真正的重頭戲，是兩韓將在12日，在首爾進行部長級正式會談。內容預估將討論重啟開城工業區的運作，恢復已經中斷5年的金剛山旅遊，還有雙邊離散家庭團聚的重點議題。

如今北韓自動釋放善意，半島情勢出現緩解跡象，聯合國也迅速通過兩億美元的糧食援助，部長級會談還沒開始，國際社會已經對於兩韓化干戈為玉帛，寄予厚望。
