【新唐人2011年8月1日讯】7月28号，铁道部发言人在中共喉舌《新华网》专访时声称，将列车车头“挖坑填埋”销毁证据的说法，并不属实﹔同时，他说，从未早早宣布停止救援。他的说法，引发媒体记者、受难者家属和网民的强烈质疑。来自多家媒体现场记者传出的报导中，证实铁道部官员自打嘴巴，难自圆其说。
铁道部发言人表示，铁路部门指挥人员“从未宣布”停止搜救，更不存在销毁证据的问题。但接着又说，“24日23时30分，确认没有幸存者，并对遗物、车体进行清理收集完后，‘救援工作结束’。”
外界质疑，如果官员“从未宣布”停止搜救，那么《央视》的相关报导又怎么解释呢？
《法国广播电台》根据大陆《中央电视台》的报导进行了分析。
文章指出，24号凌晨5点《央视》发出现场画面报导，确认“截至凌晨4点钟，整个人员搜救行动已经结束了”。6点47分，《央视》又一次连线，主持人两次换方式提问同一个问题：是否已经确定没有生命存在？记者回答“现在可以确定”———“在凌晨4点钟，这里已经没有了生命体征的现象。在此之后，他们才开始决定要清理现场。”
报导说，铁道部的上述否认也引发了很多现场采访记者的质疑。《南方电视台》记者表示，4点后救援确实结束了，现场已经没有人员在搜救。
而《新快报》记者说，“我可作证，有采访、有录音，凌晨三点半左右，救援的一名官员回答我“救援进行到什么阶段？”时说：救援基本结束。”
那么到底是谁命令停止搜救工作的呢？
《法广》引述《央视》24号凌晨的报导，“3点40分，铁道部部长盛光祖到达这里，听取了当地消防、武警官兵现场情况的描述，做了最新布置———就是要以最快的时间、最快的速度将现场清理完毕，尽快完成通车。” 而现场记者表示，盛光祖凌晨3点多到现场，4点多离开，这时现场工作重心已经转变，救援车辆、人员开始大批离开，此后不久重型机械等开始进场。
中南大学王教授：“中国呢他不是以人为本，在我的很多文章里都有，他拚命的掩盖事实，他的责任就小一些，中国（中共）政府一贯的很多问题上都掩盖事实了，推卸责任，这个是太多了过去的矿难也是啊。矿难死了多少人都是隐瞒的了。这是中国的特色，没有办法。
那么这个命令究竟是来自谁呢？最近在微博中传出，命令来自中共副总理张德江。
据微博的消息说，有大陆记者接触过铁道部一位不愿透露姓名的官员，这名官员表示，包括铁道部长在内的铁路系统并无权力下达这类命令，在事故抢险指挥部成立后，命令只能由总指挥张德江才能下达。
另外，据现场一位搜救者说，张德江下达清理桥上被撞车体的命令，是为了让铁路尽快恢复通车。
张德江是主管交通运输及安全生产的国务院副总理。不过，温家宝30号飞往温州，身旁已不见当时的现场总指挥张德江的身影。香港《苹果日报》31号报导：张德江最近行综成谜，外界猜测，张可能因救援不力，被迫销声匿迹。

Crash Cover-up Denial Questioned
On July 28, the Ministry of Railways’ Spokesman told
Xinhua News that evidence destroyed from the crash was false.
He also said, there was no order to stop the rescue.
His words were strongly questioned by media reporters,
victims’ families and netizens.
Reports from different media verified
the statements of the Ministry of Railways officials
to be inconsistent and often contradictory.
Ministry of Railways’ spokesman said,
the Railways Head has never ordered for the search and
rescue to discontinue, and no evidence was destroyed.
But then he added:
“At 23:30 on July 24, it was confirmed there were no survivors.
After collecting relics and the train body, the rescue ended."
If officials “never ordered" to discontinue search and rescue,
how can the reports of the authorities’ CCTV be explained?
Radio France has analyzed the reports that CCTV aired
in mainland China.
The article points out that at 5:00 a.m. on July 24,
CCTV reported from the site of the crash and confirmed,
“at 4:00 o’clock, the personnel search and rescue was over."
At 6:47 a.m., CCTV again showed the reporter onsite
and the TV host asked twice if more survivors were found.
The reporter replied, “No, it is confirmed now.
There were no survivors at 4:00 a.m. and it was decided
to start the clean up operations of the site."
Reports said that the Ministry of Railways’ denial also raises
questions about the information from the onsite reporters.
Southern Television reporters said that after 4 a.m, the rescue
was over and there was no search and rescue personnel on site.
A reporter of New Express Daily said,
“I can testify with my interview and recording that
at about 3:30 a.m., I asked ‘What stage is the rescue at now?’
a rescue official replied: ‘It is almost over’."
So who ordered to stop the search and rescue work?
Radio France quoted CCTV morning reports of July 24,
“At 3:40 a.m., Sheng Guangzu, Minister of Railways,
arrived here to hear from local fire rescue and police officers,
and made a decision to clean up the site and
reopen this section as soon as possible.”
Onsite reporters said that Sheng Guangzu arrived at the scene
at about 3 a.m. and left after 4 a.m.
Then the onsite work’ focus was shifted.
Rescue vehicles and personnel began exiting the site,
and heavy machinery started to arrive shortly after.
Professor Wang from the Central South University said:
“China is not people-oriented, as mentioned in my articles.
It tries hard to cover up the facts as to lessen its responsibility.
China’s government has always been covering up,
silencing people with money, etc.
Past mine accidents were the same.
The number of deaths is concealed.
This is China’s characteristic; there is no solution."
Then from whom did this order come?
Recently it was posted on a microblog that
it was from Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang.
As per the microblog post, a reporter interviewed an official
from the Ministry of Railways, who did not disclose his name.
The official said, the Railways system, including its Minister,
has no power to issue such orders.
After the rescue headquarters were set up,
orders can only be issued by Zhang Dejiang.
In addition, according to a search and rescue worker,
Zhang’ order to start the clean up operations
was to allow the Railways to restore the traffic ASAP.
Zhang is in charge of transportation and safety production.
However, on July 30, when Premier Wen Jiabao
flew to Wenzhou, Zhang was not with him.
Hong Kong’s Apple Daily reported on July 31 that
Zhang had disappeared recently.
Many believe the reason is Zhang’s poor rescue decisions,
so he’s been forced to stay out of sight.
