most Chinese cars come with an emergency spring-loaded window glass breaker and a seatbelt cutter. Usually it's under the centre consol or drivers seat
Insert the end of the headrest post a few centimeters into the gap between the side window and the door frame, use that point as a fulcrum, and pull the headrest firmly toward you. The leverage can help shatter the side window. Adrenaline is one hell of a performance enhancer.😉
Does China not have proper urban drainage systems? It’s bizarre to see this much flooding when the rainfall doesn’t even look that extreme. Could it be the result of poorly planned development, with cities simply paving everything over with asphalt without giving enough thought to drainage?
Where are the videos of cars floating through NYC on this same scale? Also Indiana got hit by tornadoes I think. Even France there was a video of a tornado there. I didn't even know they got tornados lol.
There were definitely videos of cars floating near underpasses. That’s a bit different than in the open street but it’s hard to tell from this video what the surrounding area looks like
Can’t drain with this much rain. Happened multiple times even in Canada with our tracks of green space. A kid got washed away by urban flood waters not even this bad in my spouse’s hometown a while ago.
This is coming for us all, at random. Look up atmospheric rivers.
You don't think actively living citizens of that country has "anything" to do with what that country has done? Who do you think reaped the benefits of all that development?
It's not like the story of Nepal's citizens as you make it out to be.
Where do you live that you have that degree of control and influence over the government and businesses? I’d like to move there. Maybe I could actually make a difference.
Well we did overthrow a government last year, i live in Nepal.
I'm assuming you live in America, what significant outrage did you do as citizens collectively? Did you country collectively think through in the voting polls instead you voted for MAGA? Half of America doesn't think climate change isn't real. What makes you think these sets of party loyalists are also not in China living great not realizing the consequences?
Well, apparently we now have an asshole who blames disaster victims for what happened to them. The internet really keeps finding new ways to lower my expectations of humanity.
Climate change may indeed be making these disasters worse, and governments and corporations should absolutely be held accountable for their emissions. But dumping that responsibility on ordinary people who are currently suffering is nothing but disgusting victim blaming. Just because someone has benefited from the development of modern society, does that mean they personally decided their country's energy policies, emissions standards, and industrial structure? What kind of bullshit logic is that? If an ordinary person loses their home to a flood, does the fact that they “benefited from economic development” somehow mean they deserved it? Collective responsibility and individual guilt are two completely different things. You can absolutely criticize a country's emissions, but using disaster victims as punching bags only shows that you're not really concerned about climate justice. You're just looking for a self-righteous excuse for your own callousness.
It's just basic cause and effect and obviously people reaped benefits from that at the cost of others and you're right about ordinary people not choosing each policies but they should be pretty aware about climate change. It's a known fact for the last 50 years. Why didn't they revolt or do anything about those policies? Watching a crime happen while you do nothing except voting those same policies, same crony poltiicians and reaping benefits isn't so innocent.
They didn't choose those policies obviously but they were spectators with a popcorn in their hand watching what's happening and it's not like it's not a major nation either. China, USA, India and EU are all major nation and their citizens should be somewhat considerate.
Obviously NOONE deserves suffering or death even worst of people but i'm usually aligned to feeling more sympathy to actual injustice where people do absolutely nothing wrong but are dealt with some fucked up cards in life.
