More and more catastrophic events caused by severe weather occur. Human beings are small in front of nature.
Don't you ever have something nice to say?
At least this is about an actual catastrophe and not some made-up nutjobbery.
I wouldn't have thought this could be possible in this part of Germany. The towns along the river valleys seem to have been there for centuries and have a good handle on how to deal with all that water. But apparently not.
Since it was there for couple of centuries, the integrity of the materials might have been already deteriorated, making it not good enough in the current era. As an engineering student, there might be some error in the side of the city engineers that is responsible for the maintenance of such things.
Even so, My deepest condolences to the families of the victims.

That news is a fact and unfortunately can't be changed.
The flooding in Germany and the body count is very real.
That's a sad incident. Apart from those 100 people who died, there would be thousands who have lost their belongings in the flood
and would be in trouble.
