Guy Dies by Truck Blowing Over During Typhoon Hato Strong Winds
The death toll from Severe Typhoon Hato rose to at least 16 Thursday after the storm left a trail of destruction across southern China, blacking out Macau’s mega-casinos and battering Hong Kong’s skyscrapers. Eight died in the worst-hit gambling hub of Macau, where local media showed cars underwater and people swimming along what are normally streets. The enclave’s famed mega-casinos were running on backup generators. A man was killed after being injured by a wall that blew down, another fell from a fourth floor terrace and one was hit by a truck. The Macau government said two bodies were found in a flooded carpark early Thursday, but details on the remaining victims were not immediately available. Reporters saw debris scattered on roads, with a shipping container washed up on its side on one street in front of a temple. In Hong Kong, Hato — whose name is Japanese for “pigeon” — sparked the most severe Typhoon 10 warning, only the third time a storm of this power has pounded the financial hub in the past 20 years. The city could have suffered losses of HK$8 billion ($1.02 billion), Chinese University of Hong Kong economics professor Terence Chong told, referring to the value of its daily GDP. More than 120 were injured as the city was lashed with hurricane winds and pounding rain. However, one 83-year-old man earlier thought to be a victim of the weather had committed suicide during the typhoon. In the neighbouring southern Chinese province of Guangdong, at least eight people have died while around 27,000 were evacuated to temporary shelters. Nearly two million households were briefly without power. Four of the mainland deaths had occurred in Zhuhai, 3 in Zhongshan and 1 in Jiangmen. In Zhuhai, which borders Macau, some 275 homes had collapsed, with the typhoon causing an estimated 5.5 billion yuan ($826 million) in damage. He really thought he could save that truck during a typhoon |

Re: Guy Dies by Truck Blowing Over During Typhoon Hato Strong Winds
lol first thing i thought of was that UK tv advert about a man being drunk, he thinks he is superman and climbs a scaffholding and falls off.. this guy must have been drunk and thought he was superman and could stop the 100 mph winds from blowing over the truck |

Re: Guy Dies by Truck Blowing Over During Typhoon Hato Strong Winds
So was he planning to hold the truck up for days until the typhoon past? It wasn't just a sudden gust of wind that would pass in seconds. Not that attempting to hold a truck up for any length of time is a good idea Another dumbass bites the dust |
