Passengers trapped in a subway are among at least 18 people killed in widespread flooding that hit China’s central Henan province on July 20, 2021. Video showed people trapped in carriages and on platforms in the provincial capital, Zhengzhou, by the flooding caused when nearly a year’s worth of rain fell over three days starting July 17. At least a dozen of those killed were people trapped in train carriages and on platforms. About 200,000 people have been displaced in the province. Local authorities have also warned about a 20-metre (66ft) breach in the Yihetan dam in the city of Luoyang, saying that the structure "could collapse at any time". Some viewers may find images in this video disturbing.

People getting trapped like that in subway trains is truly horrifying!
I would feel bad for the people with claustrophobia
Yeah that's a living nightmare for me
the water was all the way up to the shoulder, they could have been dead if the rescuers didn’t arrive in time😨
@@lexvik-6007 The latest news is that all the people inside have been rescued, although a few have died from lack of oxygen
In china There’s no report of anyone dying or the seriousness of the situation at the moment , everything is being delete from Social media and Chinese internet , Just like the way the CPC likes to keep the peoples here “ Ignorant AF”. I suspect They will probably report the deaths if they can’t hide the truth anymore.
I can't imagine being trapped in the subway like that, might be crying because its really scary
Feeling bad for passenger but it's scary for children and their parrents.
Halo netizen indo
Id take my chances swimming.🏊♂️
@Yanbo Liu No, 12 people dief
That has got to be terrifying, knowing you’re underground, water rising, train can’t go anywhere and doors won’t open. Sadly, there were tragedies, but It’s a miracle that not all of the passengers died.
This feels like something out of an absurd, unrealistic Hollywood movie. It's so scary that it's ACTUALLY happening, taking lives, destroying homes...
Exactly, we are truly doomed if we continue doing nothing about the climate issues.

Nature is just showing who was here first.
These floods are similar to that of the floods that are going on in Europe.
Government did this
Salute to volunteers, police, firefighter, armed police, and soldiers who are risking their life to rescue others

Absolutely devastating. It rained out 600mm in one day, that's basically a whole years of rain in a single day. So yes this is a CALAMITY. One of the worst floods in all 5000 years of chinese history. Rip to all deceased hope suvivors will recover their normal life soon.
Seriously? I did not know this so thank you for sharing. That's horrible. China, India and Europe right now. And fires in the west. What a crazy last 2 years.
@@kristinkemnitzer444 yeah a lot of really terrible natural disaster happening at the moment. If this was in ancient times a large portion of humanity would be wiped out
5000 years of Chinese history? I am really curious now if water levels have been measured that long in Chinese history? Cause I don't think that this was one of the most severe floodings in 5000 years.

@@swapnilkarmakar3299 Space exploration has nothing to do with climate change... If it does anything it makes us understand the universe and realize how fragile life on Earth is.
I grew up in ZhengZhou and never in my life have I thought such a huge flood would hit our area. I’ve always read stories about earthquakes or droughts in other parts of China but never thought a natural disaster would come so quickly. At least my family were okay when I called. Let’s hope it’s gonna be alright 🙏🙏
Everything will be alright💙 Don't worry

Huge Earthquakes are coming soon.

Sadly, these workers are risking their lives because someone else didn't do their job.
Some areas of the world are over flooding. In others, drought and water tables dropped so low, fires sweeping through. It's time the world worked together to control weather to benefit all.
Thats an unfortunate fact

to put it into perspective,
the amount of rain with in the single day for the city is equal to the amount which city normally get for more than 10 month
truly an abnormal climate
It's seems horrifying. Hope everyone is safe there.
Germany flood was worst. I saw a video where the elderly trapped inside their homes. No can enter due to mud.
As for China
A year of rain in a day.
Thanks to the rescuers, they're everywhere when needed.

So ... what was that you were saying about the economic cost of avoiding climate change? 🥵🥶🤯

This all is because of BitCoin Mining. The amount of heat it generate and energy it consumes. Where will all this heat will go? The heat from Car, automobile engine, Jet engine, Electric grids and turbines ,Solar panel generating heat by reflection of light ,normal heat generated by Household tasks. If we will add all these up we can see the root cause of this global climate change and virus and disasters. And if we will continue like this, Nature will soon do the same with us as it does with many extent species. We need to stop this all. Even economics says that Human wants are unlimited while resourses are limited and if we will try to break that barrier we will pay the price, which could be very expensive.
China is actually very pro active is combating climate change. Per capita wise some european countries and the US still rank higher
Nearly all public transpo are electric and most a lot of cars being sold are already electric. They also have the highest reforestation growth among all countries.

Meanwhile in America people are legitimately trying to say china surpasses our infrastructure. 😂
I’m not sure if American infrastructure can handle this much rainfall.
@@ΤΗΞΙηΣΑζΤΞΚδ shouldn't infrastructure be able to handle the amount of rainfall that normally comes to that area in the rainy season? Why would American infrastructure need to handle the amounts of water that come with the plum rain? CHINESE INFRASTRUCTURE being recently built should be able to handle the amount of rainfall they get in the area in which it's built. Yet every year we see modern subway stations flooding and new construction dams being damaged/ washed away. In America they have FUNCTIONAL storm water drains so this exact thing doesn't happen. From the looks of the video the occupied subway is doing the job of stomwater drain. Most you will ever see is less than a foot of water on the road if the drain gets clogged by debris. Plus don't get me started on the sewer gas EXPLOSIONS that occur regularly in china.
Prayers and Love from the USA❤️❤️🙏🙏
Shows the need for elevated housing, and robust drainage system. I can't imagine how much a country the size of China would need. Underground transport/tunnels was always gonna be at high risk without proper underground planning.
this is happening everywhere i am scared now
Zhengzhou, or Henan Province as a whole, has historically been a water-scarce area, so their urban planning is bound to be inadequate in terms of drainage. The weather this year is really unusual. Who could have expected such a once-in-a-millennium rainstorm in a region that has traditionally been short of water
Heavy rains are common in China. The underground tunnels already have drainage systems. But 200mm in one hour was just insane. That exceeded the designed capacity.
Not matter how well you build a city, with 600mm per day of rain there's no way it won't flood.
@Monarch so says the person who thinks the Spanish flu came from Spain. Might wanna go back and think if ur going to spit or swallow ur American sausage
