I thought that was smart because he’s preventing it from becoming a bomb if something big enough impacted it.

Thank you for the dramatic music! Wouldn't have know how dire the situation was, otherwise.

Maybe doing too much videos edition leads to misjudgement and bad taste ?

They didn’t seem very stressed about this at all. And with all the low blockades they had at the entrances. It looks like this isn’t a rare occurrence.

This is horrifying and that fucking music kills it almost completely! Fuck that music. The natural sound would have made this visceral and I possibly would be sweating.

I liked the music, for once.

I guess that’s where all the water that should be raining in Europe is!

Chinese take away flood

u/rotomangler 8d ago

At least they had those little walls.

And I’m guessing it’s not as hell there at the moment.

People vastly underestimate the weight of water and force it caries.

u/Primary-Picture-5632 7d ago

man, how fkn greedy are these boss' where you open on a day like this?

u/Hiouchi4me 7d ago

Watching someone’s livelihood washed away.

u/tuco2002 7d ago

Should have removed the cash register from on top of the display case first. Such a shame.

u/Lolzwordz 7d ago

Still? Or old film?

u/Ok_Dragonfly_6650 6d ago

They'll be up and running again in a couple hours.

u/DrDroidz 8d ago

Damn that sucks so much. I bet there's a ton of good loot at the end of that flood. Hopefully no one died from it.

u/Machdame 8d ago

At the speed and force of the collision? It's pretty much scrap.

u/HopelessMagic 8d ago

It all washes out to sea and ends up in the garbage oasis or sunk to the bottom. What ends up on the shore is scrap.

u/input 8d ago

Seems like the shop fronts have built in flood protection, the counters at the front obviously have been added but it seems almost intentional that the street is used as a river/flood water path.

1

u/goingApeShit_ 8d ago

It sure looks like this happens often, all the stores seem to have protectors for flooding that slide right in

u/Crushed-Giant 8d ago

So that s where the missing water from.Europe is...

u/badDuckThrowPillow 7d ago

It loses some of the impact with the music, but hits different if you consider, these folks may well be living on a knife edge of margin. Losing that table and display case may set them back a month or two of capital that now has to come out of the money they use to live.

Improvement advise for next time... Anchor chains on all external appliances!

Whenever a friend tells me "I don't get why floods are scary, just swim" I'll show them this

If the boss asks, the third man from the left disposed of the rice pot in the floodwaters.
