Flash Flood Drowns Tourist Camp in Zhangjiajie — 50 Killed in Minutes
It happened in minutes. Not hours. Not days. Just minutes. A campground once filled with laughter was gone. Tents swept away like fallen leaves. Cars spinning like toys. And fifty lives, vanished beneath a wave no one saw coming.
It was supposed to be a peaceful weekend. Families barbecuing. Tourists hiking. Kids roasting marshmallows under the towering cliffs of Zhangjiajie. But deep in the mountains, a storm was already building. Far upstream, beyond where anyone could see, the rain had begun. And by the time anyone noticed, it was already too late.
July 21st. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Hunan Province. A flash flood slammed into a popular riverside campground and turned paradise into a graveyard. Now, fifty are dead. Dozens still missing. And the questions are only just beginning.
