They will have to clear it one. Cause they need to rebuild. That is an important access point.

This video suggested the bulk of debris flow is from the saturated soil on the valley wall and riverbed. Now is south asia monsoon season the land is full of water.

Look at the videos of the debris flow not really water, more like liquefied soil/mud. Dense enough to support the weight of knocked down concrete bridge decks.

Just a thought that came to my mind.

The Sinkies that are missing if cannot find how? Need to wait 7 years before officially declare them uplorry?

Or will gahmen sexpedite for them like the foreman Heng last time?

SINGAPORE –Over $3 million has been raised through the Singapore Red Cross’ (SRC) campaign for victims of the Nepal-China floods.

On Sept 3, SRC chief executive Benjamin William said it was grateful for the response, adding that many went to the Red Cross House in Penang Lane to hand in their donations.

He said: “This show of solidarity and support will translate into much-needed assistance for communities affected by the floods, helping them through the immediate relief efforts and towards recovery.

“We will honour the public trust by ensuring the contributions are managed transparently and efficiently, ensuring maximum impact.”

SRC has also committed an additional $170,000 in humanitarian aid, on top of its initial $50,000 contribution.

Of this, $80,000 will be for emergency food supplies to be distributed to some 2,500 households.

This dam was washed away by the flood. Previous videos didn't show the size of the dam. This video showed people standing at the top of the dam which is about the height of a 15 stories HDB block.

Anyone in civil engineering here? Can tell us why the 4 huge concrete pillars that is the size of an entire hdb block cannot prevent the dam from collapsing?

Actually that dam only has 2 concrete walls in the middle.

Found dimensions of the dam, 29.5 meter high.

You can see on google maps there are numerous 20-30 meter wide boulders and countless smaller rocks in the riverbed between the glacier and the dam. Impact by just a few of the huge boulders are enough to break up the walls at the dam.

SINGAPORE – Five people, aged between 29 and 66, have been identified and interviewed by the police over certain comments made online on the recent Nepal flood disaster and discussions surrounding Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) investment in Air India.

The police said in a statement on Sept 9 that they would continue to investigate and identify those responsible for the online comments. They added that they were unable to comment further on the details of the individual cases, as investigations are ongoing.

“The police take a serious view of conduct that may wound racial feelings or incite hostility and ill will between different racial groups,” they said.


When will they start here?
