Floods and landslides created a huge sinkhole like a canyon in the place where the park used to be.



As several buildings collapsed along with the ground, rubble piled up everywhere, and even the sewer pipes buried underground were exposed.



More rain fell in one day than usual in July, causing damage to western Germany.



A heavy rain warning was issued three or four days ago, and we were prepared, but we were helpless by the terrifying speed of the river.



So far, 130 people have been killed and more than 100 people are missing.



As rescue operations continue, the death toll is expected to rise.

Germany and neighboring Belgium and the Netherlands could not escape the water bomb.



An emergency rescue operation was carried out in the village, which had become an island with roads locked in all directions.



Not only military personnel but also Italian rescuers were dispatched to the scene.



In Belgium, 27 people have been confirmed so far as a result of the heavy rain, but authorities have declared the 20th as a day of remembrance.



It is reported that there were no casualties of Korean residents in these areas.



European Commission President von der Leyen has defined the torrential rains as a result of climate change, including global warming, and stressed that it is time to act to stop accelerating global warming.
