That's terrifying. Mom was picked up to the ceiling by the water and she can't swim. She grabbed onto pipes and had only 4 inches of space to breathe. The son called his Dad and said Dad we're gonna die. He came and rescued them. Wow was that scary.
Call me crazy but WTF was the mom still doing down there once it started flooding? A little common sense should've told them to evacuate or get to higher ground.
@@killerdessert That doesn't explain why they were still in there in those conditions. If you're living in a car and it catches on fire do you stay in the car?
@@killerdessert Why wouldn't you? A reasonable person should be able to look at the water level outside, see the water in the house, and know it's not a safe place to be in. It doesn't take an engineering degree to understand that the void spaces inside that wall were already full of water and breaking it down/weakening it, not to mention the electrical and biological hazards EVERYWHERE. It's basic science and common sense, we were all taught this stuff in school. At least we should have been. 🤔
@@RT-qd8yl You'd be shocked how many people aren't aware of what they should do in this type of situation, and even if you do in a situation like this full of panic you might not behave the way you would otherwise if you were in your right state of mind.
Building walls are designed for vertical loads, not horizontal loads. That may have even been a concrete wall. The water pressure on the wall is immense. The best thing to do to protect the building structure is to let the water in and equalize in level with the outside level and then clean up the mess afterwards. Most likely this house was a total loss due to the structural damage.
Walls are absolutely engineered for lateral loads. What a ridiculous claim to make. Have you ever heard of wind??? I'm pretty certain that's a lateral load... Other lateral loads are earthquakes, earth pressure (earth against a foundation), and snow. The water exceeded the engineered lateral load of that wall...
@@billymacktexasdetective5827 Wind loads, even in hurricane regions are less than a PSI. A residential building in Miami has design wind loads of around 1/2 PSI. More than one foot of water and you've exceeded that.

This is the result of flooding caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida, in Cranford, New Jersey, when the home's wall suddenly collapsed under the force of the floodwaters, which trapped a teen and his mom inside the basement of their home. Other family members heard the commotion and were able to rescue the two.
i live / work one town over and there is certainly a lot of properties near ponds/streams etc that were affected by that storm . cars were just abandoned all over the roads one got washed into a creek across st from my shop blasted right through chain link fence
This exact thing happened to my neighbors. We had massive rainfall. Went through garage on lower level into fully furnished nice basement. Ruined brand new truck he bought week before. Also ruined classic garage kept mustang in perfect condition. Water was at ceiling with furniture floating all around. We are not in a flood zone. Only time this ever happened. They bought house two years before. Told wasn't flood zone and not to get flood insurance. Regular home insurance covers water but not massive flood. Cost them over $20k to fix lower level. They leveled entire yard to make sure it never happened again. When it happened water was rushing by like a river over 6ft tall fences in our neighborhood. Was crazy to see. Thankfully our flooding wasn't severe. We have tile downstairs and soaked up quick then did huge dehumidifier. Most of water downstairs was just near door.
I want to know what I'm looking at. So is the wall facing the water above ground? I'm pretty sure basement walls are built of concrete block, does this mean any above ground sections are not? Since the house sits on the basement, I would have expected it all to be concrete. It appears the house was falling apart before the wall gave way (falling pieces visible through the windows).
@@LyndaOblinger Yes, my house has one. Our house sits on a hill and the house was basically built into the hill with the hill being the basement. In our backyard (our house is completely made of red brick) the back facing wall of the basement is entirely exposed with a locked door that goes into the basement.
NBC News: The son seen in the shocking camera footage made it to the basements steps safely and escaped the flooding without injury. He and the rest of his family had already been trying to empty the basement of the minor flooding before the situation became unimaginable. "Thank god he made it to the stairs because the wall caved in and the water came in and would have crushed him," the Cranford mother said.
American houses are made from thin planks of wood and plaster. No wonder they can’t withstand a flood. My granny’s house in Tewkesbury in England was built in 1720 and has yard-thick stone walls! It has flooded twice but remains structurally completely unscathed.
Typical Theist. Zero understanding of anything. If your God created everything, then your God created that flood and caused that wall to collapse. Thanking that same God is pointless. This is a perfect example of how religion literally creates stupid. You're so out of touch with reality you can't even comprehend your OWN BELIEF SYSTEM. You can't go around claiming this God created all and is in control of all then not blame this God when shit happens. If you're driving a car and you steer into another car, do you blame the people sitting in a restaurant 3 cities to the North? No, you don't because YOU were in control, YOU made the choice to drive into someone and therefore it's YOU who is to blame. Religion creates stupid
If water flooded the basement I’d be getting out of there. That means the storm drains and suer drains have flooded enough to backup into the basement. That’s your sign to get out.
What a disaster. I used to work in Cranford, and back in 2022 there was one rain storm that was really bad. Well from this video, you can see that the load bearing pillars remained intact so then the house survived.
When you place a concrete walled tub 10 feet in the ground and you get a lot of rain the water pressure trying to get in and fill the space is immense. Most houses built in the last 50 years will have a perimeter drain just under the floor that diverts the ground water to a sump with an electric pump to constantly pump the water up and out, relieving the water pressure that would collapse the wall as it did. When it’s raining like hell and you get a little water in your basement, there’s much more to come!
@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews Might've been a half exposed basement like mine but I don't think the US has ever had 10 feet of precipitation. Maybe it was melted snow.
Wow. Can anyone tell me structurally what I am watching here? The wall looks like it lumber/sheeting material. The amount of water that comes in looks like clearly it was built up on the other side of the wall. There is very little soil at first, so it doesn't seem like saturated earth. Walk out basement? Even so, for it being a walkout with that level of water built up, that must have been extreme flooding going on. What are we seeing here? Sounds like the people got out, thankfully.
Not a basement wall at all. A basement wall has soil outside it, and this one had just floodwater that came in when the wall's attachment to the foundation failed. That wall was above ground before the area flooded.
That was a garage converted into a extra room and a garage door sealed with drywall from the inside. I’ve seen quite a few of them. They have no support drywall is weak.
Dude that was 100% a basment , I'm from central Jersey and just got the first chance to rest right now Monday labor day from when the storm ended and we started pumping out basements and homes Thursday morning. Been doing this job almost 20 years and been there few major hurricane events and many Nor'easter storms and never seen it this bad .
A river flooded a small town close to where I live. After the floodwaters receded, people rushed to pump their basements out and many homes had their basement walls collapse because the ground was so saturated with water, the pressure shoved the walls in.
Theres other comments about other walls collapsing soon. Now this level is filled with water the pressure on both sides of any standing walls is not equalized and no more walls should fold in like this.

Yes built on the cheap. A drywall separating the outside in a basement. Should be cinderblock or concrete. It was crazy to think that was going to withstand that pressure
I had a dream that looked and felt 100% just like this whole scenario. The lighting the stuff floating, the screaming of someone I didn’t know and I tried to help that person but I couldn’t and than I woke up. Looked just like this video. Feels like déjà vu.

Cranford was along the old Jersey Central mainline, This was when the recent hurricane Ida hit the state and the town got the worst of it especially flooding
My question is why tf is the guy and his mom in the basement? The guy was walking casually through the water like nothing bad was happening. The last thing you should do when a basement has water, especially in a flood, is stay there.
A 12ft column of fresh water exerts a pressure of 7.5psi. That’s a big wall, say 30 x 12ft. Assume water at top of wall. 360 x 144 x 7.5 / 2 = 194,400lbs.
Home owners insurance would replace the home correct? I have never dealt with that before so just wondering what the next steps are. I’m glad everyone is ok.
This is why you don't stay in your flooded house pretending everything is fine. Houses are not designed to survive multiple feet of water pushing on them and leaking around everything.
The very definition of when things go from bad to worse.
during a flood, the basement is usually not the best place to be.
*bad to the most worsterest
When it rains, it pours…
This is similar to how the captain in Titanic died.

This happens when your walls are made out of papier-mâché
your brain is made out of "papier-mache"
Yes built on the cheap. A drywall separating the outside in a basement. Should be cinderblock or concrete. It was crazy to think that was going to withstand that pressure
And the soil is mostly sand
Joe Biden already said what it is. It's climate change and must be defeated! Time to get the nukes out.
Mine is concrete, i cant believe new homes these days...super scary
Thank goodness the transcript is there to capture the words.
Mexican engineering
yeah but why was there that much water on the other side of that wall
That house was built like garbage for that to happen. Builders rush and cheap out everything, yet charge ridiculous prices in the tristate area.
Tell me about it…
How horrifying! These are the times when a man is not safe in the house, nor on the street! The only thing left to do is submit to God.
Nah
Will God keep someone safe if they walk around with a bible? Video evidence of someone doing this in a flood/tornado in Philadelphia?
He got lucky...
No kidding! He had no way of knowing what was going to happen in mere seconds.

I had a dream that looked and felt 100% just like this whole scenario. The lighting the stuff floating, the screaming of someone I didn’t know and I tried to help that person but I couldn’t and than I woke up. Looked just like this video. Feels like déjà vu.
Who runs a cam in their basement 24/7? I wonder what the rest of the house looks like.
My brother in-law lol. Totally decked out. Mainly to keep an eye on his dogs while he's at work
@@just_call_me_desi omg. Is he ok
@@megd6343 I'm sorry if you misunderstood. This video is not of my brother in-law. I merely meant in response to Jonathan that people such as my brother in-law run cameras all over their houses lol. Thanks for asking though. He's ok, he's been in the recent storms and pathway of the tornadoes (Tullytown, PA)
@@just_call_me_desi oh ok. Thank you 😊
Did the first floor stay or did it collapse after this?
What are this sounds?
What was that screaming about?
🙄
Sounded like someone was in that room that he exited in the very beginning of the clip
He was screaming mom and the wall. His mom and brother were both in different areas of the basement. They got trapped and he saved them.
@@TheAshleyLaurenMusic got it
I was so worried about the person screaming I hope she survived this
To me it sounds like a lady screaming...
I think it was my wife watching the video
Omg / thank goodness no serious injuries
All in all you're just another brick in @0:26
OMG, the wall opened up like a garage door!
this life is temporary a beautiful news is that we have salvation believing in Jesuchrist
read Romans 10: 9 and 10 believe by faith in your heart and call on his name only he save
read st John 14 : 6 and st Jhon 3 : 15 to 18
This life is temporary, but it is all that we have. Beware of the rich telling you how you will get into heaven while they rob you blind on this earth.
@@Anne--Marie there was nothing in her message about trusting trusting in any rich people. The message pointed to Jesus alone
@@Anne--Marieyou got that right.
Was that a person or an animal making the noise? How scary that had to be, so unexpected.
Thanks for not letting us know how it turned out for the terrified screaming person. Best to let it just haunt our dreams.
Cranford was along the old Jersey Central mainline, This was when the recent hurricane Ida hit the state and the town got the worst of it especially flooding
And that is why only idiots build a wooden framed house basement held together with nails.
why was there that much water on the other side of that wall
How was that wall made? No concrete? Strange.
My question is why tf is the guy and his mom in the basement? The guy was walking casually through the water like nothing bad was happening. The last thing you should do when a basement has water, especially in a flood, is stay there.
soo did they build their house on the beach or what? howd so much water there?
Might I suggest NOT building your house with one wall of the basement in the middle of a lake??
Legende says they're still screaming the wall to this day!
A 12ft column of fresh water exerts a pressure of 7.5psi. That’s a big wall, say 30 x 12ft. Assume water at top of wall. 360 x 144 x 7.5 / 2 = 194,400lbs.
Home owners insurance would replace the home correct? I have never dealt with that before so just wondering what the next steps are. I’m glad everyone is ok.
Flood insurance probably would. Home insurance probably just covers a portion of cost of the damage.
This happened in late August 2021 after Tropical Storm Ida passed through and caused a lot of flooding.
Thank you for the info, I was wondering why there was so much water in this area of NJ.
@@zombieapocalypse3837 You're welcome
Really should do something about that humidity problem.
That’s horrible. I hope he was ok!!
He died
@@TheSharker Good joke.
This is why I always wear a life jacket when I go down to do laundry.
This is why you don't stay in your flooded house pretending everything is fine. Houses are not designed to survive multiple feet of water pushing on them and leaking around everything.
