In fact, as early as July 21, the Epoch Times reported that many parts of Zhengzhou had collapsed to varying degrees.
Zhengzhou citizen Zhao Ming (pseudonym) told the Epoch Times reporter that he went out to grab shopping items early that morning. As a result, he frequently saw road collapses in a section of about 200 meters. He analyzed that it may be that the road surface is hardened, the rain is heavy, and the drainage system cannot keep up. The flood takes away the soil on the roadbed and causes the road surface to hang in the air. “Once it collapses, this is the most dangerous.”
The local radio station also reported on the afternoon of the 21st that in Zhengzhou City, there were 170 road collapses, 146 tree collapses, and 26 wall collapses in Jinshui District alone. At least 16 road collapses were found on Nanyang Road Street in Zhengzhou. Seven walls collapsed; in Sipo Liulitun, the foundation pit was poured and the tower crane was tilted. The slope protection along the railway collapsed about 40 meters.
