9-Foot Wall Of Water: Devastation In Himachal Town After Dam Gates Opened

A ceiling fan hanging with blades like limp noodles, a shutter on the floor with lockson, and nothingness where a wall once stood. The devastation at a market in Himachal Pradesh's Pandoh was not because of any flood, but floodgates of a dam opened on Sunday, without any warning. A nine-feet wall of water had gushed into the market, breaking the safety wall on the banks, and left a trail of wreckage. Himachal Pradesh has been struggling with the monsoon fury, with torrential rains turning roads to rivers and rivers to angry seas washing away everything on its path -- cars houses or bridges.
