Chinese Heavy Rains Renders Citizens Helpless

The city authorities have stated that more than 500 individuals have already been pulled to safety from the subway which was flooded due to the Chinese heavy rains. One of the survivors mentioned their ordeal on social media- talking about how the water reached their chest. But what was really horrifying wasn’t the amount of water in the carriage, but the reducing air supply inside the bogey itself. The rains also managed to put a halt on the bus services in the city which has a population of about 12 million people. This led to most of the citizens taking the subway- which resulted in an even bigger tragedy.
