A hospital in China was partially demolished while several doctors and a patient were still inside.
A portion of Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University in Huiji district located in central Henan province was destroyed by around 20 people dressed in military fatigues.
In an interview with public television channel CCTV, the hospital’s director of radiology Liu Chunguang said, “I was operating…(an X-ray) machine. The noise (of the demolition) was terrifying. My patient was sitting beside me, shouting that there was an earthquake. The patient ran away, terrified.”
According to Dahebao, a local newspaper, six bodies stored in the hospital’s morgue were covered in rubble as a result of the demolition. Medical equipment amounting to 4 million yuan or $600,000 were also damaged.
Although no one was injured because of the incident, it was found that three hospital employees were hurt during a confrontation with demolition workers.
The people behind the demolition job have yet to be identified, while the buried bodies are yet to be recovered. Huiji district authorities are currently conducting an investigation on the incident.
