“Shocking Footage: Typhoon Yagi Unleashes Chaos as Major Vietnamese Bridge Crumbles!”
What happens when nature gets a bit too overzealous? Just ask the Phong Chau Bridge in Northern Vietnam, which recently gave in to the ferocity of super typhoon Yagi. This bridge, a vital link for locals, spectacularly collapsed under the strain, sending ten cars and two scooters tumbling into the Red River below. It’s a tragic scene that leaves you pondering not just the power of Mother Nature, but also what on earth could’ve been going through the minds of those affected.
As rescue teams scramble to reach the missing—13 people, to be precise—the lingering question remains: how could such a sturdy structure succumb to the winds of a storm that has left a record number of casualties across the region? While three individuals were plucked from the watery depths, the uncertainty surrounding the fate of the others sends chills down the spine. Seriously, when did bridges start joining the ranks of roller coasters? Right now, it feels like the chaos of life has taken a very literal plunge, and we can only hold our breath and hope for the best as rescue operations unfold. The Phong Chau Bridge, a busy bridge in Northern Vietnam, has collapsed in the wake of super typhoon Yagi, plunging ten cars and two scooters into the Red River.
Three people were pulled out of the river and taken to the hospital, but 13 others are still missing, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc said on Monday (September 9).
It remains unclear if there have been any deaths.
The collapse took place at 10 a.m. local time in the province of Phu Tho, which is approximately 80 kilometers (50 miles) away from Hanoi, the country’s capital.
