All Five Crash Survivors in Stable Condition; Two in ICU|生還者送三總治療 院方:5人情況穩定

The five survivors of the Black Hawk crash were sent to the emergency room at Tri-Service General Hospital. Hospital officials say the five are in extremely stable condition right now. In particular, Lieutenant General Huang Yu-min suffered a compression fracture to his thoracic spine and lumbar spine while Military News Agency reporter Chen Ying-chu is under observation for a possibly crushed foot in the intensive care unit.


Chen Ying-chu was the first person on board the Black Hawk to reach out after the crash, asking for help on Line. Apart from a 4-centimeter cut to her face, Chen suffered minor fractures to her lumbar spine and right leg and a possibly crushed left foot. She is currently in the ICU. Another one of the five survivors, Lieutenant General Huang Yu-min, is also in the ICU and will require physical therapy for his injuries.

He has fractures from T7 to T10 on the right side of his thoracic vertebra. The sides of his lungs are also slightly bruised. However, he doesn't appear to have sustained any injuries to his extremities and his cognitive and respiratory functions are stable.

The other three survivors are in stable condition. Major General Liu Hsiao-tang has minor fractures and bruises, while Lieutenant General Tsao Chin-ping only has a few scrapes and bruises. Hospital officials say all five are alert and mentally stable, but counselors will be made available to them to help them deal with the mental and emotional trauma of the crash.

They all lost consciousness temporarily during the crash, so their memories of the crash are a little fuzzy. They haven't been able to explain in detail what happened yet.

Hospital officials say Tsao, whose injuries are the most minor, will likely be the first to be able to go home but there is no timetable. President Tsai Ing-wen and Premier Su Tseng-chang have visited the survivors and promised them medical, living and professional assistance in the future.



黑鷹直升機失事後，第一時間以line對外求救的新聞官陳映竹，被救出後，除了左邊臉部有四公分裂傷，腰椎和左腿有輕微骨折外，左腳在失事時被木板和箱子重壓，院方擔心也有後遺症，由急診直接轉入加護病房觀察，另一位中將黃佑民是五人傷勢最重，未來需要復健，目前，也在加護病房治療

三軍總醫院院長 蔡建松表示：「他有左側的第七到第十肋骨骨折，尾椎骨骨折，還有兩邊的肺輕微挫傷，但是他的不管在四肢的活動，意識跟呼吸還有氧氣方面，都非常穩定。」

入住普通病房的三人病況也十分穩定，少將劉孝堂，有輕微骨折和挫傷，中將曹進平只有擦傷挫傷，相對輕微，院方轉述，五位生還者的意識與精神狀況都非常穩定，不過在撞擊當下受到非常大的衝擊，院方都有安排心理師與精神科醫師訪視。

三軍總醫院院長 蔡建松表示：「因為他們在撞擊的過程中，多少都暫時性的，意識會有點不清楚，不清楚又後來再醒來，所以大概就只能記得，他受傷那個時候，所以他們也還沒辦法講得那麼細。」

至於傷者何時能出院，院方回應，傷勢最輕微的中將曹進平，可能最快出院，但還沒有時間表，總統蔡英文，以及行政院長蘇貞昌，都前往探視傷者，行政團隊承諾，全力除了醫療，也會給予後續工作和生活的協助。
