A bridge collapsed and a bus was swept away by flooding in Vietnam on Monday, raising the death toll in the Southeast Asian country to at least 64 from a typhoon and subsequent heavy rains that also damaged factories in export-focused northern industrial hubs, state media reported.
Nine people died on Saturday after Typhoon Yagi made landfall in Vietnam before weakening into a tropical depression. The rest died in the floods and landslides that followed on Sunday and Monday, state media VN Express reported.
The water levels of several rivers in northern Vietnam were dangerously high.
A bus carrying 20 people was swept into a flooded stream by a landslide in mountainous Cao Bang province on Monday morning. State media said four bodies were recovered from the bus and one person was rescued alive. The others were still missing.
The bridge collapse video is crazy.
Dashcam video of bridge collapse.
Damn man. I know the truck driver was saved, but holy shit, man…how? That thing dropped immediately cab first straight down. I’d hug my kids and wife when I got home and probably bawl my eyes out.
wow seconds before potential disaster in HD
Thanks. It’s also in the article.
Lol. I know. I just know half of people don’t read the article or click through. So I was just giving your comment the video context. 😅
The only reason the person on the motorcycle didn’t go over the edge was because they were light enough to stop. It’s crazy to me how people will pull in front of semis traveling the speed limit that’s unsafe if those trucks were cars, not weighing up to 85k pounds.
