Chen Yiwen, an advisor of the Committee of Natural Hazard Prediction in China, conducted an interview Chinese state television, CCTV, on May 14, saying he has given the official China Seismological Bureau predictions on three separate occasions since 2006. Especially on May 3, 2008, he personally sent the prediction report to the China Seismological Bureau.
5 月14日,中国地球物理学会天灾预测专业委员会顾问陈一文先生,在中共中央电视台CCTV的访谈中说,从2006年以来,他曾经向中国地震局提出过三次地震预测。特别是 2008年5月3日,陈一文又亲手向中国地震局发了一份汶川地区可能发生强震的预报。
The interview was aired live but was not allowed to be re-broadcast.
这段访谈是现场直播,但节目重播时已被删掉。
According to Chen, other scientists also provided predictions of strong quakes in the Wenchuan area to the China Seismological Bureau. But Chen told The Epoch Times that party officials never interviewed experts from the committee of natural hazard prediction or acquainted themselves with the scientists’ work.
据陈一文所知,还有其他科学家也曾向中国地震局提出过汶川地区可能发生强震的预测。但是,他告诉大澳门威尼斯人赌场官网记者,中共官员从来没有访问过天灾预测专业委员会的专家,也从来没有深入了解过他们地震预测的工作。
