Highlighted Comments

The video did not answer the question the title asked. WHY DID IT HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE? however we all know the answer is unplanned rampant construction of buildings and cutting of trees.

Very sad news, praying for the deceased.

Horrible incident unfortunately we are unable to pre-plan against such types of disasters taking place and also no more serious about the management of public safety.

We won't be learning from this also, the human greed to build construct is killing the environment, we are the sole reason for supporting these constructions and contributing to their greed.

Just pray for people who lost their everything in these floods and help as much as you can.
