Massive Flood: Watch the Terrifying Moment Flood Washed Away a 5-storey Building in China (Video)
Posted by Odinaka on Tue 11th Jul, 2017 - tori.ngApparently, Nigeria is not the only country experiencing floods as China has also been hit too and it's even worse. A very terrifying footage has been shared showing a 5-story building being washed away by the flood in China.
The 5-storey building collapsing
The shocking moment when a heavy rain in Tibet eroded the foundations of a five-storey apartment block, causing it to topple into a surging river, has been captured on camera.
Reports revealed that Tibet's Changdu City has been hard hit, with the local Ziqu River eroding its banks and bursting out over surrounding terrain at the weekend.
The river, held back in part by a bridge, gradually ate away the soil away beneath the yellow waterfront structure. All occupants were evacuated long before the collapse, local media says.

A heavy red truck also abandoned by its driver, also fell victim to the churning brown tide.
China Central Television says the region’s heavy rains have washed away more than 57km of roads, damaged 24 bridges and cut power lines. But the disaster is much larger in scope than the dramatic images indicate.
Floods and landslides have also killed scores of people in China’s central Hunan province as two weeks of torrential rains forced 1.6 million to flee, authorities said yesterday.
