Passengers Cling To Ceiling Handles Inside Flooded Train In China. by Emmac433: 8:43pm On Jul 21, 2021
Passengers trapped in shoulder-high flood water on a subway train following major flooding in the Chinese city of Zhengzhou.

The passengers had to cling to ceiling handles inside flooded trains on Tuesday, July 20.

There has been no official confirmation of death but unverified footage on social media appeared to show dead bodies on trains and in stations.

Who tell you say the power was not interrupted ?

Those are ELECTRIC trains, and the massive current used to propel the trains is conducted through the rails that must NEVER be submerged.

The instant that tunnel was flooded, all power would have been shut off so as not to electrocute passengers. Those pictures were taken aboard stranded, stopped, and darkened underground train carriages, and I can only imagine the terror being felt by those passengers already up to the chests in water, deep underground where walking or swimming to safety is not an option, and where the water levels were probably still rising slowly.

Ever since the 7th July 2005 London underground train bombing attacks, I never set foot in any subway train again. Just the thought of being underground aboard a speeding packed train full of commuters triggers claustrophobia alarms in my brain.

The planners of that underground railway network will likely be arrested and jailed for incompetence by the Chinese Communist Government. Then again this was a flood of truly biblical scale, so maybe there will be no scapegoats punished this time. A

The flooding of key position with quota head slammers in Nigeria is of greater concern.
