Building Destroyed Due to Heavy Floods
A new round of heavy rainfall in many places in China's south hit most parts of northwestern Jiangxi, causing a river to soar. A building was instantly destroyed by devastating floods.

Re: Building Destroyed Due to Heavy Floods
Have to wonder how much of it happens thanks to the storm and how much of it happens because the communist party decided to build their dams from tinfoil to save costs.

Re: Building Destroyed Due to Heavy Floods
Yeah, you can see a lot of evidence of shoddy construction. But I also noted a lot of old bridges (probably 400 or more years old) that I saw crumbling in some of these videos. If you see an old stone arch bridge, it's probably from the 1600's on. The commies built everything from concrete, so anytime you see a bridge made of blocks of stone, and not concrete, it is pretty old. I saw a lot of these old bridges when I was in China, and some of the ones I saw dated from the 1200's. Most of them are relatively small, and are just foot bridges now, but there were a large number of really HUGE arched bridges, over canals that were built in the 1400's, and those are the size of modern freeway bridges. (There are also Italian graves in the city of Suzchou that date from the 1300's. They HAD to be contemporaries of Marco Polo!) |
