3:423 minutes, 42 secondsworkers responsible for operating a water gate had gone out drinking and the gate was not open in time, causing the river to overflow. Typhoon Sadell, the
3:513 minutes, 51 seconds18th named storm of this year, originally made landfall in Zojan Province and battered southern China before gradually weakening. However,
3:593 minutes, 59 secondsafter moving offshore from western Guong, its remnants strengthened into a tropical depression known as TD20. In the early hours of September 1st, it
4:084 minutes, 8 secondsstrengthened again into a typhoon over the South China Sea. China's National Meteorological Center also issued a blue
4:164 minutes, 16 secondstyphoon warning. The agency forecasts that over the following days, the combined effects of typhoon Sadell, the monsoon trout, and cold air would bring
4:254 minutes, 25 secondstorrential rain to parts of the Jan region, eastern and southern South China. Heavy rain was also expected in

4:564 minutes, 56 secondsthe typhoon's dramatic revival, Lam Chu Ying asked, "What exactly is nature trying to tell us?" He said that after 50 years working in meteorology, he had never seen a typhoon behave like this.
5:085 minutes, 8 secondsHe added, "Humans often boast about high technology, but how can that compare with the mysteries of the weather?" He warned that Saud linger near Hong Kong

6:466 minutes, 46 secondsAt its deepest, the water rose more than 3 ft, covering people's thighs. Some small cars were completely submerged and water even entered the first floors of
6:556 minutes, 55 secondsbuildings along the streets. Today, some relocation districts in older residential areas have lost water and power. In the lower lying areas that
7:037 minutes, 3 secondswere hit the hardest, most people are staying home and not going out to work.
7:077 minutes, 7 secondsHe said that on the street outside his window where flooding was not as severe, around 40 to 50 vehicles had already been submerged. Some people even took out inflatable boats to travel outside.
7:187 minutes, 18 secondsKandan Vocational Secondary School was severely affected because it sits in a low-lying area. Flood waters quickly rose across the campus and entered the
7:277 minutes, 27 secondsfirst floor of dormatory buildings. In the deepest areas, the water rose above the vehicle roofs. More than 2,500 teachers and students were trapped on
7:367 minutes, 36 secondscampus. Teachers and students who remained behind could only pass drinking water, milk, and other emergency supplies up to the second floor and
7:447 minutes, 44 secondsabove. Surrounding roads were completely blocked, cutting off transportation and supply deliveries. The school also lost
7:507 minutes, 50 secondswater and electricity, creating serious challenges for students and staff. In addition, some areas experienced landslides. On September 2nd, a
7:597 minutes, 59 secondslandslide severely blocked the spillway of Gini Long Reservoir in Chi-Shi Town, causing the reservoir water level to
8:068 minutes, 6 secondsrise dangerously and creating a risk of overflow. Multiple sections of County Row 528 and the Daiban line were hit by
8:148 minutes, 14 secondslandslides with large amounts of mud, rocks, and fallen trees covering the roads. Traffic was completely cut off, leaving Chemmen village temporarily
8:228 minutes, 22 secondsisolated. Meanwhile, Sadell continued moving inland and affecting China's southwestern regions while authorities again responded by releasing water from
8:308 minutes, 30 secondsreservoirs without advanced warning. In recent days, Mangla County in Yunan province have been hit by torrential rain causing severe flooding. The Yantan
8:398 minutes, 39 secondsreservoir in Molong village, Mohan town, faced a potential dam failure, forcing more than 8,000 people to evacuate.
8:478 minutes, 47 secondsEunan's Xong city was also affected by the storms. A local hydro power station opened its floodgates, causing the water
8:548 minutes, 54 secondslevel of the Bae River to rise rapidly and flood nearby streets. Villagers said their homes were first hit by flooding
9:019 minutes, 1 secondand then damaged by landslides. Flood waters broke through foundations, cracked walls, and caused heavy losses.
9:089 minutes, 8 secondsResidents in Zu Jon province have also suffered from reservoir releases. On September 1st, two major reservoirs in
9:149 minutes, 14 secondsKan County, Chaun Reservoir and Wu Jao Yuan Reservoir opened their floodgates.
Parts of the county town along with Lingshing [music] Town, Zho Xi town, low-lying areas along rivers experienced severe flooding. Many shops, vehicles,
9:299 minutes, 29 secondsand [music] farmland were submerged, causing major losses. The county implemented a five suspension emergency measure, including stopping classes,
9:379 minutes, 37 secondswork, businesses, transportation, and shipping.
9:419 minutes, 41 secondsChen, a shop owner in Lingshi Town, Kanang County, said, "Yesterday afternoon, after 400 p.m., there was
9:489 minutes, 48 secondstorrential rain. Our area was hit the hardest. The two reservoirs released a large amount of water yesterday, and the flooding reached more than 3 ft. By
9:569 minutes, 56 secondsaround 2:00 a.m. last night, the water was already this high up to my thighs. There's no time to react to the warning.
10:0310 minutes, 3 secondsThe losses are huge. Even the schools were flooded.
10:0710 minutes, 7 secondsAnother local resident, Miss Lynn, said, "The water has entered my home and reached about 3 ft. I couldn't sleep at all. The roads are all flooded and there
10:1610 minutes, 16 secondsis nowhere for the water to drain. Cars have been submerged and the farmland was flooded long ago. The biggest problem is
10:2310 minutes, 23 secondsthat the flood release and drainage systems were not properly managed.
10:2710 minutes, 27 secondsWenzo's Pingyang County was also severely affected. Water levels rose rapidly in the early hours of the morning, leaving many residents awake
10:3610 minutes, 36 secondsall night. Hang, a resident of Mao Town in Pingyang County told reporters, "The typhoon came back with a vengeance and
10:4310 minutes, 43 secondsnow we're flooded again. Several streets are underwater. It's the middle of the night and nobody can sleep. I'm actually exhausted, but I'm afraid the water will
10:5110 minutes, 51 secondskeep rising. This month alone, I don't even know how many times the water has risen. Ruian city and Wenzo withtood the
10:5910 minutes, 59 secondsfirst three typhoons this year, but it was unable to withstand the fully revived Sadell. Starting on September 1st, many streets in Ruan turned into
11:0811 minutes, 8 secondsrivers, leaving firstf flooror shop owners devastated. Many shoe factories in the area were flooded with blue shoe boxes floating throughout the streets. A
11:1711 minutes, 17 secondsperson familiar with the situation said many villagers were searching for shoes in the floodwaters while one young man spent an entire day looking for the
11:2511 minutes, 25 secondsfront gate of his home which had been washed away. Chen, a shop owner in Tang Sha Town, Ruian City said, "The rain was
11:3211 minutes, 32 secondsunbelievably heavy. The drainage system was overwhelmed and my shop had already flooded. I don't even know where the water came from. I kept using buckets to
11:4111 minutes, 41 secondsscoop it out, but I couldn't keep up. I haven't even eaten. I really feel like crying. Everyone is saying it feels like the sky is falling. Who is going to help
11:5011 minutes, 50 secondsus? Experts said the severity of the disasters in China was largely due to authorities failing to issue timely warnings along with a pattern of
11:5811 minutes, 58 secondsconcealing disasters and risks which has worsened losses of lives and property among ordinary people. A researcher at Taiwan's Institute for National Defense
12:0712 minutes, 7 secondsand Security Research, Shenming Shir said. In fact, the collapse of the Lulan reservoir in Guangshi in July this year,
12:1412 minutes, 14 secondsas well as the Zenzo floods and Zo floods in recent years were all caused by unannounced water releases resulting
12:2112 minutes, 21 secondsin serious casualties. It's the same as a mudslide disaster in Tibet. So far, the reported death toll there remains in the single digits, while Nepal has
reported more than 1,000 deaths and 5,000 to 6,000 missing people. But the Chinese Communist Party's reported death toll is only in the single digits.
12:3912 minutes, 39 secondsAnalysts also pointed out that because of systemic problems within the Chinese Communist Party's governing structure, officials fear losing their positions,
12:4712 minutes, 47 secondsmaking so-called early warnings little more than a formality. An expert with a Kunan Geological Bureau, Yangkun said,
12:5512 minutes, 55 seconds"Regarding warnings, I personally believe that in the eyes of the Chinese Communist Party, they are basically just a decoration. Take the July 20th floods
13:0313 minutes, 3 secondsin Zenzo in 2021 as an example. The government did not issue a red alert at the time. But what happened? The subway
13:1113 minutes, 11 secondsdid not stop operating. The Jinguang Road tunnel was not closed and officials did not evacuate people from dangerous areas. None of that happened. In the
13:2013 minutes, 20 secondsend, they even concealed the deaths of 140 people. It was extremely frightening. The only thing these officials fear is losing their positions.
13:2913 minutes, 29 secondsShenming Shir added, "The reason for not issuing warnings is to avoid economic compensation or administrative accountability. If you issue a warning,
13:3813 minutes, 38 secondsbut serious damage still occurs, it proves that you knew about the danger beforehand, and the government's responsibility becomes very clear. In
13:4613 minutes, 46 secondsaddition to failing to issue warnings beforehand, the authorities response after the disaster has also drawn criticism. As of September 2nd, official
13:5513 minutes, 55 secondsfigures from Nepal show that the floods had killed 1,114 people, left 3,916
14:0114 minutes, 1 secondpeople missing, and resulted in 11,993 rescues. Nepalese police posted more than 2,000 unidentified body photos on
14:1014 minutes, 10 secondstheir official website along with DNA information to help families identify victims. By comparison, the Chinese Communist Party authorities reported
14:1914 minutes, 19 secondsonly 21 deaths and more than 500 missing people.
14:2314 minutes, 23 secondsOne week after the disaster, official Chinese media coverage suggested that the only victim rescued from the mud was a giant rabbit stuffed toy. Some users
14:3214 minutes, 32 secondssaid the authorities slow rescue efforts were aimed at maintaining stability.
14:3614 minutes, 36 secondsThey said the aggressive suppression of disaster related information serve the same purpose to strengthen the deterrent effect. Chinese police recently
14:4514 minutes, 45 secondsannounced that 10 people have been punished for spreading disaster rumors.
14:4914 minutes, 49 secondsAccording to the official statement, most were targeted for estimating the death toll. One of them was a user surname Jang from Chamo, Tibet, who was
14:5814 minutes, 58 secondsgiven administrative punishment simply for posting online. That mudslide was terrifying. At Giron Port on the China
15:0515 minutes, 5 secondsNepal border, the official number of missing people is more than 480. Adding to the Nepal side, I estimate the death
15:1215 minutes, 12 secondstoll could reach over 1,000. Online users mocked the authorities, saying later figures from both China and Nepal had already proven Jan's estimate was
15:2115 minutes, 21 secondsaccurate and asked whether the authorities would apologize and clear his name. Many commented, "Of course not. He said it too early. The official
15:2915 minutes, 29 secondsnumbers haven't been updated yet, so he's still considered a rumor spreader." Others wrote, "He gave an estimate while they had specific numbers, so that
15:3715 minutes, 37 secondscounts as a rumor. even if he was off by just one person, they would probably still call it misinformation. Another
15:4415 minutes, 44 secondsperson added, "During the pandemic, some people who were accused of spreading rumors and taken away by health enforcement officers are still in
prison. Some even question, is it possible that this so-called Jung does not even exist and the story was fabricated simply to scare people into
16:0116 minutes, 1 secondstaying silent during this latest disaster?" Huawei also drew criticism after attempting to use the tragedy for publicity. On August 30th, Huawei
16:1016 minutes, 10 secondsexecutive director and head of the consumer business group Richard Yu posted a video promoting the company's new May X2 ultimate design trifold
16:2016 minutes, 20 secondssmartphone. In the comments section of his Waybo post, a user with an IP address in Nepal named Quaon Memories
16:2716 minutes, 27 secondsclaimed he personally experienced the August 26th Nepal mudslide disaster. He said that after losing internet access,
16:3516 minutes, 35 secondshe used Huawei's satellite messaging feature to stay in contact with the outside world, successfully called a helicopter and was transported to
16:4216 minutes, 42 secondssafety. The user also posted a photo showing a helicopter rescue.
16:4816 minutes, 48 secondsThe details of this so-called Huawei user's rescue remain unclear. However, on Chinese social media, his account triggered renewed criticism of Huawei.
16:5816 minutes, 58 secondsMany users accuse the company of exploiting the disaster for marketing, writing comments such as, "For marketing purposes, Huawei has gone this far, even
17:0717 minutes, 7 secondsprofiting from people suffering, and this is disgusting." Others question.
17:1317 minutes, 13 secondsSo, in an entire disaster area, there's only one Huawei phone, and it happened to be in his hands. Who sent the helicopter was never mentioned, and
17:2117 minutes, 21 secondsthere was no thanks to the rescuers. Are all other brands unable to provide satellite communications except Huawei?
17:2817 minutes, 28 secondsWith so many people in the disaster area, are we supposed to believe only he had a Huawei phone and only he could use satellite communications to call a
17:3617 minutes, 36 secondshelicopter? Another user wrote, "This was a disaster on the scale of a small planetary collision. You witness all of
17:4417 minutes, 44 secondsthis, then pull out a Huawei phone, use satellite communications, and are dramatically rescued by helicopter. It sounds like a Hollywood blockbuster
17:5217 minutes, 52 secondswatching others get rescued by helicopter. Imagine how they must feel.
17:5617 minutes, 56 secondsAnother comment said, "Last time it was Guangshi. The messaging was exactly the same, far ahead of everyone else. Huawei had many online promotional accounts.
18:0618 minutes, 6 secondsThis is standard Huawei behavior. Last time Huawei was even said to have stopped a bullet and saved someone's life. Huawei is still far ahead, not
18:1418 minutes, 14 secondsjust slightly ahead, but ahead of competitors by 10 million%." Some users also said, "If satellite communications are really so useful and
18:2218 minutes, 22 secondsimportant, then let Starling enter China. Don't restrict phones. It could support not only calls and messages, but even WeChat." After Starling V3
18:3118 minutes, 31 secondslaunches, users could directly upload videos. Do you dare? Some users with years of experience using satellite
18:3818 minutes, 38 secondsmessaging said that phones from domestic brands can receive Chinese Bo satellite messages, but satellite phone services
18:4518 minutes, 45 secondshave strict requirements. Users need to pay in advance, be in open areas, and point towards the satellite. Without the right conditions, they are practically
18:5418 minutes, 54 secondsimpossible to use. One user said, "Hu as a company closely tied to the Chinese Communist Party, show the same characteristics as the authorities
19:0319 minutes, 3 secondsduring a crisis. Indifference towards ordinary people and disasters as well as a lack of basic common sense.
