Hong Kong Disaster: Floods, Landslides Kill Over Eighty
Torrential rains set off disastrous floods and landslides in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong. Result: More than 80 dead -- 71 injured. It's the worst natural catastrophe to strike the Colony in years and the weather outlook is still critical. The British Colony of Hong Kong, people walking in the flooded streets with umbrellas. A road is washed away and looks like a waterfall. Camera pans to another part of the street that's become a sink hole. Cars sitting in rubble above the hole as people continue walking with umbrellas through flooded streets of fast moving water. Pan down of a church that has lost part of its foundation as water rushes over. A cement bridge or overpass under construction with water spilling over the top. Railroad tracks that buckled up due to the torrential rain fall, a policeman patrols the track. Police dig out cars impacted by mud and dirt that were swept off roads by the rush of water. High Angle Shot of Cars, station wagons and trucks face every direction as they remain buried up to the door handles with mud and rock. Water flowing down an elevated street giving off the illusion of a giant water slide. High Angle Shot of cars, at the bottom of the hill, stacked on top of each other like a messy pyramid.
