That was totally distressing. ..When mother earth gets revenge on the damage of nature, it is the worst destruction of human habitat.

This place was one of beatiful tourist destinations.
It was a tragedy that happened in a big city. It's not a river. It was broken down made lake that the whole water in it pouring out into the houses below. The people will be relocated to the safer place. I hope my government will learn a lot from this.
