Shanghai Turns Into a Vast Ocean, 1/3 Underwater; Tornadoes and Typhoons Strike, Paralyzing the City 

You know you have a problem when "Once-in-a-Century" events happen a couple of times a week.

Here's a big problem: the city of Shanghai itself is built on what amounts to a river delta. As such, if the area experiences a major storm or a major surge from the waters of the Yangtze River, the city will flood, often with serious consequences. In contrast, the city of Tokyo realized that because that city was built on the Arakawa and Sumida River delta; without drastic action the city would flood during the summer rainy season and when a typhoon strikes. That's why they built the massive _Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel_ to divert the waters from the Arakawa River away from the center of Tokyo, which dramatically reduces the threat of flooding in Tokyo itself.

Just imagine all the shit from millions of people coming out of sewers, floating freely on the water in the streets…

China wanted west phillipines sea now enjoy😂

Shanghai , the financial capital of China, has become the new city of watery Venice these days.

Typhoon making its own 9 dash line in Shanghai 😂

This is what happens when there’s not enough drainage infrastructure for such a large metropolis. That and sinkholes.

I notice , every incident occur in the west Philippine sea, of bullying Philippines coastguard, there is also disaster occur in China, so if the China cannot stop claiming the west Philippine sea, which was belong to the territory of the Philistines, it might be suffer more disasters.

The lack of drainage isn't obvious until it's needed...

Videos like this are most suitable for those who posted on RU-vid about their journey to China and were impressed by China's infrastructure.

If their government wasnt corrupt maybe they would have proper preparations and proper standards to prevent this...

Shanghai is built on a river delta. River Deltas are destinations for water. Flooding is natural for them. Preventing flooding of above ground structures is difficult and expensive. Underground areas are actually worse. It's foolishness. The only thing that should be there is the port, because you can't move it somewhere else.

If Shanghai turned into a vast ocean ? Where's their references of their 9-dash line ?

You got your South China Sea & west philippine sea

All the foreigners that escaped the collapse of the CCP managed to dodge so many bullets

LOL - people complaining that the building management aren't coming to do anything - when there's around 4 feet of water still on the roads. How do they think they would get there with the equipment needed, and they are probably too busy trying to save their places. Typical Chinese - blame someone else. This is a once in a lifetime event

China want more water 😊

I think it is karma, for a country that produces so much pollution.

Poor Wumaos, no more Taiwan talk. I wonder why the US moved five B-2 stealth bombers to northern Australia? They can be at China's doorstep in 3 hours. Also, look at the C-130 heavy cargo planes that can now load up to 128 cruise missles PER PLANE and release in flight from over 800 miles away. The US has tens of thousands of those cruise missles spread throughout the area. There's more Kaboom loaded and waiting than the entire Chinese can even attempt to muster just loaded and waiting for the thumbs up. Enjoy your day 50 Cent Army. 😮😮😮😮

Water delivery from Temu typhoons

Imagine being on one of the Paracel or Spratley islands and having to face the Storm Surge from Typhoons like these, Tofu Bases to be washed away?

OMG! And all that water will have sewage mixed into it from the drains!!!

Well that's what you get when China says what a great place for a city right next to a typhoon prone area. What a great spot you engineering marvels you!

It is the biggest swimming pool with Chinese characteristics. They must be so proud of the latest Chinese progresss.

One more thing to add is the Water Management of the CCP. Who the heck keeps their dams at maximum possible capacity at all times even when there's a drought. Look at the results when there's heavy rains and storms that's when they are releasing heavy amounts of water thus compounding the problems their citizens are facing.

This happens multiple times every year. Yet they don't fix anything. New buildings are blown apart by the wind. Yet, no adequate building code, no fixing the drainage system, no preparedness. Just keep repeating the disasters.

Nature: You want South China Sea? Here's more South China Sea!

This is what happens when China over fish destroying the entire ecosystem of another country and bragging about how they figured out and prevented natural disasters with their advanced infrastructure. Meanwhile, Mother Nature casually showed how is it done by sending back-to-back typhoons. Just like that guys haha

WELCOME TO NEW CHINA SEA. NOT SOUTH CHINA SEA BUT "NEW CHINA SEA". ITS KARMA.

How are your electric cars doing?

China is 100 years ahea.... oh wait

Motto from the CCP is “ serve the party and not the people “ by now the Chinese people should understand that now. So blaming there officials make no difference.

Definitely got drownings and electrocutions. But will be covered up

What pisses me of the most is all the companies that force their workers to work during emergencies like theese.

It's just insane not having a proper drainage system for an area like that. Huge fires that left my area flooding like crazy three years ago and they created a new drainage system throughout the city within half a year.

God gave them more water so they don't have to steal it from their neighbors😂

Nature is doing its work 😂😂😂

Shanghai belong to Ursula since ancient times!

Nature strike s back..

This happened on the US Gulf Coast in 2005 with Katrina and Rita. But the Chinese act like they have to just continue everything as usual instead of waiting it out.

What is ridiculous is peoples' lack of understanding of combustion engines and electric vehicles - resulting in destruction and severe damage of engines and vehicles...

USA Hurricane - Evacuate China Typhoon - Food delivery, business as usual

Pooh should be happy the ocean became nearer don't have to tresspass

What deity did the Chinese piss off to bring this?

Everything is fine. The economy is great. Look how sunny it is.

All those toilets emptying as well yuk🥴

What exactly is the property management supposed to do? This is the responsibility of the country's/city's emergency response management.

Why are schools and businesses still open?

This is what to expect in a concrete jungle, that most coastal cities are today... As climate changes this will get worse...cutting down trees and bushes leave hillsides susceptible to land slides... as we have seen all over the world. You reap what you sow.... simples.

POOH visits Shanghai then this happens to the city. When will the Chinese people get the message that the HEAVENS rare SCREAMING at them?

How the hell does a Subway work when everything is flooded ?

Hey greedy Pengpeng CCP do you want more water?

Chinese divers are the bravest. Not araid to drawn, not afraid to get elecrecuted, not afraid the car will stuck, not afraid the bike will stuck. Trully, either their brave or brainless

Heaven have eyes

They're gonna needs lots of pumps to drain that out

It's the CCP Karma😂 Mandate of Heaven.

Chinese govt pissed off the aliens that were all over the airports

Swimming in gutter oils and chemicals 😅

This typhoon 🌀 came from Philippine 🇵🇭

They got to remake the legendary fake rescue vids? Playing hot potato with sand bags lol. All that concreting over everything caught up with them, oh no.

Hey xhina leave the WPS alone you have plenty of 💧

thank you witchcraft from visayas philippines for brought a typhoon to china

Why are they naming the typhoons Filipino words like bibingka and pulasan? Is this a way for the ccp to provide negative association to the Philippines? They only did this naming scheme with this past 2 typhoons.

So uh... Another typhoon is coming your way, xina. I dont know the int'l name but Igme is heading your way. It's not as strong as the last 2 but it's big and will bring lotsa rain! Enjoy

フィリピン、ベトナム、台湾の皆様、安全を確保してください 🙏🙏🙏

I have worked in SE Asia for more than 20 years. In every country where so-called Chinese Standards have been followed you can be sure of a disaster around the corner. Designed not by engineers, rather by politicians. And don't ask about construction quality.

God's trying to tell you something.

To kara boska , za sprzedawanie produktów o koszmarnie niskiej jakości i niszczenie środowiska

The Czech Republic, Poland, the US, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Communist China have had horrible floods in the past month. Trump Style Quips About "Chinese Corruption" Are Irrelevant.

Semoga ramai yang berenang disungai men,ikmati keindahan hujan,boleh jalan guna boat

These ppl just keep driving

Exciting 🎉

Not so shang hai now

WHY ARE PEOPLE OUTSIDE. Stay the hell home.

in the vast ocean,people have found many sharks eating babies hihihi 😂

Floods Floods everywhere, Madness to buy an EV instead of a Diesel vehicle with a Snorkel.

no wonder they want ocean so maybe ocean chasing them

can't understand why Tchyana invades neighbouring countries in the West Philippines sea while so much water at home ! !...🤔🤔

5:13 was the rain + lightning filter really necessary while filming a typhoon and flood? Lmao

But this is Not just in China many countries in Eastern Europe also flooded all drainage systems have a limit and with Urban areas all u have is concrete where is the water going to go when it can't drain into the soil?

Stop burning coal

Why are they still on the roads it is too dangerous?

Shanghai submerged again? aw shucks!

Do you know what would make things interesting over there? Sharks and crocodiles swimming in those waters.

How is it that those people don't get sick after wading around in all that filthy water? They're waist deep in bacteria and Lord knows what other chemicals and waste. I've seen people eating while sitting in flood water. How do the elderly manage to cope as they're certainly not going out in waist-deep floodwater. I'm glad I don't live there as it can't be very healthy for older people with low immunity. They better fix the sewer infrastructure to drain water faster. Is that water cold or warm? Those people don't seem to look like the water is cold. Honestly, those citizens don't seem fazed by the deep floodwater. More power to them.

excellent overview of this tragedy. thanks for your reporting

I wonder how many "once in a decade" storms there have been now

Why the hell do they still have to go to work…lol wow

Come on, people, have a little compassion! This isn't something to gloat and jeer about. In 2005, Hurricane Katrina put 70% of New Orleans under water, making thousands of people homeless. In 2011, a massive tsunami (earthquake + tidal waves) devastated north coastal Japan, causing over 10,000 deaths. The same earthquake also caused massive flooding in Indonesia and about 150K deaths. There's plenty of weather to go around and you can't expect anyone, anywhere, to be totally prepared. Hopefully Shanghai will build better drainage/flood mitigation systems to minimize future damage.

There's just an amazing amount of video of rain flooding let alone typhoons covering.

That wind and rain from that typhoon looked like it was from a disaster movie. Scary stuff

Much of Shanghai is about 10 feet above sea level, this will happen frequently. I'd consider moving to higher ground.

stop blaming! this is god doing!

It’s surprising that everyone is so surprised!!

First from the Philippines

Why are all of those idiots out trying to walk and ride motorcycles in a hurricane!?

If this happens again in 30/40 years, and you see a guy looking disgruntled clearing water from a parking garage with a bucket and a sponge. Don’t tell him nothing! It might be me in my next life and if it is, I will hold you under the water. Just saying 😂

Fudan has little to do with this, except that it's part of China. I was a lecturer in Changsha, Hunan in 2018. They fired me because I complained about the student conscription. Just saying. Don't be part of that scum. I feel like those things are related.

Even the swimming pool is full of water!

and it will only get worse in future.
