OMFG, the CCTV footage is horrible, a complete nightmare
For anyone else wondering, it's the second video in the slideshow (I'm not sure if there's a way of linking to it directly?)
Utterly horrendous. Relentless like a tsunami, but so much faster.
Someone tell me about the scale of prehistoric GLOFs.
prehistoric is not needed. Just a few years ago >10.000 died in similar floods just there if I remember correctly
