Beijing chaos after record floods in Chinese capital
The
heaviest rainfall to hit China's capital Beijing in 60 years has left 37 people
dead and stranded thousands at the main airport.
The deluge struck on Saturday afternoon and continued into the
night, flooding major roads, state media said.
Roof collapses, lightning strikes and electrocution from downed
power lines were among the causes of the deaths.
More than 500 flights were cancelled at the main airport, the
Beijing News reported.
The floods also caused a backlash on the internet, with many
angry at the lack of warning and the apparent inadequacy of drainage systems.
State news agency Xinhua said 460mm (18.1 in) fell in Beijing's
Fangshan district, with the capital as a whole averaging 170mm.
