Subway passengers in China’s central Henan province were left trapped in carriages flooded with water on Tuesday after heavy rains caused rivers to burst their banks.
In disturbing footage published on social media, subway passengers in Zhengzhou, Henan’s capital could be seen standing in a pool of muddied water, waiting for rescue.
In a video posted on Weibo, the Henan Fire Department said it was working to rescue passengers from the train line.
